Sheets’ Foot Struggles Impact Wild Card Race | San Diego Padres News
Description
Gavin Sheets is battling plantar fasciitis, forcing him into a protective boot and limiting his playing time as the Padres manage his recovery while keeping him in the lineup. Manager Craig Stammen stresses smart usage, especially as the injury has become more persistent. Sheets’ availability has influenced lineup decisions, particularly against left-handed pitchers — though he’s slated to DH against one on Thursday. With the Padres clinging to a two-game wild card deficit and just 29% playoff odds, every game matters. Thursday’s showdown pits Walker Buehler against Diamondbacks rookie Kohl Drake — a critical clash in the tight NL race.
