Sheets went 2-for-3 with a run scored Saturday against the Orioles. Sheets has started each of the last three games in right field, filling in for Adam Engel (hamstring). Sheets has three hits in nine at-bats in that span, including a double and a run scored. He struggled in his first stint with the big-league club this season and currently has a .212/.281/.336 line across 160 plate appearances on the campaign.

The White Sox recalled White from Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday. He'll start in right field and bat sixth in the series opener with the Orioles. With Danny Mendick (knee) and Adam Engel (hamstring) both being placed on the injured list Thursday, Sheets was summoned from the minors to fill one of the open spots on the 26-man active roster. He was sent down June 10 and produced a .270 average with two homers, seven RBI and six runs over 37 at-bats in nine games with Charlotte. Now that he's back with the big club, the lefty-hitting Sheets could have a line on a strong-side platoon role with five position players (Yoan Moncada, Eloy Jimenez, Yasmani Grandal, Mendick and Engel) residing on the IL.

Sheets was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday. Sheets has struggled recently, producing a .164 batting average without a home run or RBI over 55 at-bats in 19 games since May 16. He will now report to Triple-A and look to correct his approach at the plate. Jimmy Lambert was recalled from Charlotte on Friday to take his spot on the major-league roster.

Sheets isn't starting Thursday's game against the Dodgers. Sheets started in the last two games and went 1-for-5 with a double and a strikeout, but he'll retreat to the bench with left-hander Tyler Anderson starting for the Dodgers on Thursday. Adam Engel will take over in right field and bat eighth.

Sheets is not in Sunday's lineup against the Rays. Sheets will predictably head to the bench with lefty Ryan Yarbrough starting for the Rays. Jose Abreu will start at designated hitter with Yasmani Grandal starting at first base.
