Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is not in the starting lineup on Saturday afternoon. This appears to be a day off for Robert, who has started in nine of the team's last 11 games since being activated from the 60-day injured list. Robert has been on a hot streak since his return, slashing .385/.400/.615 with two homers, one steal, seven RBI and seven runs scored. With Robert out, Brian Goodwin is getting the start in center field and will bat second in the order against the Rays.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert will get a day off on Tuesday versus the Oakland Athletics. Robert has homered in two of his last three games and has been producing across the board since his return from the 60-day injured list on August 9. For the season, the young star in the making is hitting .328 with three home runs, 12 RBI and five stolen bases. Veteran outfielder Brian Goodwin will replace Robert on Tuesday and bat sixth in a tough matchup versus Chris Bassitt. Goodwin is a dart throw in DFS on Tuesday and managers should expect Robert back in the lineup on Wednesday.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert went 3-for-4 with three runs, one stolen base and a solo home run in Monday's victory versus the Oakland Athletics. Robert's solo shot off of Deolis Guerra in the bottom of the eighth inning would give the White Sox some added insurance with a 5-2 lead. Robert has been hitting the ball very well and has now gone yard in two of his last three games. The talented outfielder is capable of helping managers across the board and is now hitting .328 with three home runs, 12 RBI and five stolen bases in 119 at-bats.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two RBI in Saturday's loss versus the New York Yankees. Robert took Jameson Taillon deep in the bottom of the second inning for his first home run since returning from the injured list on Monday. Robert has been hitting the ball well since his return with eight hits over 24 at-bats to go along with one homer, three RBI and one walk. For the season, Robert is hitting .315 with two home runs, 11 RBI and four stolen bases. Robert is a superstar in the making and should be able to help managers across board moving forward.

The Chicago White Sox are giving Tim Anderson, Yoan Moncada and Luis Robert the day off on Wednesday. Jake Lamb is getting the start at third base, Leury Garcia is starting at shortstop and Adam Engel is in center field. It's a planned day off for Robert, who returned from the 60-day injured list on Monday. Anderson and Moncada are the more surprising omissions from Wednesday's lineup. All three players should be expected to suit up for Thursday's Field of Dreams game against the New York Yankees.

The Chicago White Sox have activated outfielder Luis Robert (hip) from the 10-day injured list on Monday. Robert was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 2 with a Grade 3 right hip flexor strain and began his rehab assignment on July 19. Robert was hitting .316 with one home run, eight RBI and four stolen bases in 95 at-bats prior to being sidelined and he should be able to help managers in all categories across the board. Robert hit .268 with one home run, six RBI and two stolen bases during his rehab stint in 49 at-bats. It may take some time for Robert to adjust to being back, but managers should remain patient. The White Sox lineup isn't out yet, but Robert will be in the starting lineup on Monday evening. To make room for Robert on the 40-man roster, the White Sox released outfielder Luis Gonzalez. Outfielders Adam Engel and Brian Goodwin are most likely to lose at-bats with Robert's return and can both can be left on the waiver wire in all formats.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hip) will be activated from the 60-day injured list and be in the starting lineup on Monday night, according to Scott Merkin of MLB.com. Robert has been out since the beginning of May with a Grade 3 right hip flexor strain after starting off the season hot at the plate, as he was slashing .316/.359/.463 with one home run, four steals, eight RBI and 11 runs scored over 25 games. He'll be a welcome addition back to the lineup for managers who have had him stashed on the injured list all season long.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hip) will not return this weekend versus the Chicago Cubs, but manager Tony La Russa said that this weekend will be an important test and that his return is imminent. This is huge news for both the White Sox and fantasy managers. Robert was placed on the 10-day injured on May 2 with a Grade 3 right hip flexor strain and has been on his rehab assignment since July 19. Robert is one of the most exciting young stars in the game and is capable of helping managers across the board upon his return. Before landing on the injured list, he was hitting .316 with one home run, eight RBI and four stolen bases in 95 at-bats. Managers should expect him to return as early as next week and he should provide a big boost to managers in all formats.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hip) is swinging a hot bat in Triple-A and nearing a return to the majors, according to the Charlotte Observer. The center fielder, who tore his right hip flexor in May, moved to Triple-A Charlotte last week and was 6-for-22 there over his first five games. Outfield mate Eloy Jimenez recently made his season debut for the Pale Hose, and this impressive team is nearing full strength to close out the regular season. In 95 at-bats before his injury, Robert was hitting .316/.359/.463 with a homer, eight RBI and four stolen bases. The 24-year-old has exciting power-speed upside and should be rostered in all leagues, especially in this stacked White Sox offense.

A look at what’s happening around the majors today: START IT UP The second half begins with one game when Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers and the AL East-leading Red Sox visit Yankee Stadium. Left-hander Eduardo Rodríguez (6-5, 5.52 ERA) starts for Boston, which holds a 1 1/2-game edge over Tampa Bay. New York and Toronto are eight games behind the Red Sox. J.D. Martinez and the Red Sox have wrecked the Yankees lately, going 6-0 against their longtime rivals this season and outscoring them 36-17 in those matchups. The Yankees, who haven’t announced their rotation for this three-game series, face Boston eight times in their first 10 games coming out of the All-Star break. The stretch could decide whether New York is a buyer or seller heading into the July 30 trade deadline. TRADE WINDS The clock is ticking -- two weeks for contenders to make deals before the deadline.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Across the globe, everybody is watching Shohei Ohtani in awe and intrigue. Major League Baseball can only love the attention from around the world surrounding the Angels' two-way star and the spotlight he's brought to the sport. Can Ohtani keep this up? An encore to a sensational first half? He leads the majors with 33 home runs and has shown no signs of slowing down or slumping — and should soon have a healthy Mike Trout back in the lineup with him. Pitchers across the big leagues are doing their part so far, too. There have already been seven no-hitters in the majors this season, matching the mark for most in one year during the modern era. The record of eight was set in 1884, the first season overhand pitching was allowed. Will Jacob deGrom, Walker Buehler and Gerrit Cole join the list soon? And will the uproar over sticky substances tamp down? Manager Torey Lovullo and the Arizona Diamondbacks are eager for a fresh start, determined to forget that record 24-game... [More]

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Chicago White Sox designated outfielder Adam Eaton for assignment Wednesday to make room for the return from the injured list of outfielder Adam Engel. The 32-year-old Eaton, in his 10th major league season, batted .201 with a career-low .642 OPS in 58 games. He had five homers and 28 RBIs in his second stint with the White Sox, whom he played for from 2014-16. Eaton spent the previous four years with the Washington Nationals, winning a World Series with them in 2019. Manager Tony LaRussa said dumping Eaton was “a very difficult decision for the organization,” prompted by the emergence of rookies Gavin Sheets and Andrew Vaughn. “A veteran sitting around and not playing, it kind of goes against why he was brought here. It's just the reality of the development of some of our young guys,” LaRussa said, adding: “Too many good players. It's a good problem to have.” Engel was reinstated from his second injured list stint of the season with a strained right hamstring, but... [More]

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Catcher Yasmani Grandal was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday by the Chicago White Sox with a torn tendon in his left knee. Grandal was injured during an at-bat in Monday's loss in Minnesota. Chicago estimated Grandal will be out approximately four to six weeks. “It was a twist that he made as he made his swing," White Sox manager Tony La Russa said. “Something got caught. It didn’t free up to make a turn on it. It got caught and something popped. I’m anxious to get a full diagnosis. He’s on his way to Chicago, maybe in Chicago already, and we’ll know more tomorrow.” Grandal was hitting just .188 as Chicago's starting catcher, but he had a .388 on-base percentage in 63 games to go with 14 home runs and 38 RBIs. Seby Zavala, 27, was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte and was with the team for Tuesday's game in Minnesota. Zack Collins started Tuesday at catcher. “He was as productive as any position player we have for the last month or so," La Russa said of Grandal.... [More]

A look at what's happening around the majors Tuesday: ___ OHTANI DAY Angels two-way phenom Shohei Ohtani (3-1, 3.60) takes the mound for the first time since being named an All-Star on both sides of the ball. Ohtani plans to participate in next week's Home Run Derby, then pitch and hit in the All-Star Game, meaning this will likely be his last turn pitching for Los Angeles before the break. The right-hander struggled in his last outing, allowing seven runs in 2/3 of an inning at Yankee Stadium. He'll try to bounce back against the Red Sox and another AL All-Star, Nathan Eovaldi (9-4, 3.41). Boston has a major league-most five All-Stars. CITI BREW ON TAP Mets ace Jacob deGrom (7-2) looks to lower his major league-best 0.95 ERA when New York hosts Milwaukee in a matchup of NL division leaders.

A look at what's happening around the majors today: ATTA BABE Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani (3-1, 2.58 ERA) is expected to become the second player and first since Babe Ruth to start on the mound and hit in the top half of the batting order in the Bronx. Ohtani has looked plenty comfortable at the plate in New York this week, hitting a home run Monday night and then connecting for two more homers Tuesday night, giving him a major league-leading 28. This will be Ohtani’s first pitching appearance at Yankee Stadium and his career-high 12th pitching start this season. He’ll oppose Yankees righty Domingo Germán (4-5, 4.32 ERA). Ruth batted third in his final game on the mound on Oct. 1, 1933, to end that season. The Bambino homered and threw a 12-hit complete game with three walks and no strikeouts, leading the Yankees over the Boston Red Sox 6-5. Ohtani will become the fifth player to homer twice and start the next game as a pitcher after John Montgomery Ward in 1883, Bob Caruthers in... [More]

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago White Sox placed Jake Lamb on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and reinstated fellow outfielder Billy Hamilton from the IL. The AL Central-leading White Sox also recalled first baseman Gavin Sheets from Triple-A Charlotte and optioned outfielder Luis González to their top farm club. AL MVP José Abreu started Tuesday night's 7-6 victory over Minnesota after the first baseman was hit on his left knee by a pitch on Sunday. Abreu walked twice and scored a run. But third baseman Yoán Moncada was sidelined by a “barking” right shoulder, according to manager Tony La Russa. “I know he got some treatment and it’s still not right, so just not going to push it,” La Russa said. The White Sox also announced center fielder Luis Robert has been cleared to increase his level of baseball activities at the team's complex in Arizona. Robert tore his right hip flexor on May 2. The move means Robert could be cleared for a minor league rehab assignment in approximately four weeks.... [More]
