Sheets 'a little banged up' after crashing into wall, still being evaluated - Padres.com
Padres slugger Gavin Sheets exited Sunday’s series finale against the Pirates following a hard collision with the left-field wall and was still being evaluated after San Diego’s 6-4 victory, manager Mike Shildt said.
