If Sheets (foot) is able to return this season, he may be limited to working as a designated hitter and/or pinch hitter, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Sheets landed on the injured list Aug. 30 due to a left foot sprain. As of Sept. 8 he was still in a walking boot, and it's not certain that he'll be ready to rejoin San Diego before the end of the campaign. If Sheets does manage to make it back, he probably wouldn't be put in the field. Luis Campusano and Austin Hays have been getting most of the Padres' starts at DH of late, and Sheets could get occasional starts there while also serving as a bench bat.

San Diego placed Sheets on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left foot sprain.

Sheets will make his first trip to the IL this season. The 30-year-old has been struggling over his last 30 games, slashing just .179/.296/.269 with two homers and six RBI over 78 plate appearances. San Diego recalled Sung-Mun Song from Triple-A El Paso to replace Sheets on the 26-man roster.

Sheets isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Sheets will step out of the starting nine Tuesday after going 0-for-4 with a pair of walks across San Diego's last three games. Luis Rengifo will serve as the designated hitter while Sheets sits, opening up left field for Dustin Harris.

Sheets is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

After taking a seat for Tuesday's 5-2 win while southpaw Zac Thornton started for the Mets, the left-handed-hitting Sheets will remain on the bench against a righty (Robert Stock) for the series finale in New York. Sheets will give up his spot in the starting nine to Sung-Mun Song, who will cover third base while Manny Machado serves as the Friars' designated hitter.

Sheets went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Astros.

Aug 10Rotowire

Sheets hadn't homered since June 30 versus the Cubs. During the 31-game power drought, he hit just .155 (13-for-84) with two doubles, five RBI and a 16:14 BB:K. The 30-year-old's slump, combined with the signing of Austin Hays on Sunday, could lead to Sheets losing some playing time, though he's still in the mix at first base, designated hitter and left field. Overall, Sheets is batting .214 with a .713 OPS, 15 homers, 44 RBI, 44 runs scored, 15 doubles and four stolen bases over 110 contests.
