Sun Sep 4 202213:48Luis Robert Activated From The Paternity List
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert has been activated from the paternity list on Sunday. The 25-year-old was away from the team for a few days for the birth of his child but he's still absent from the starting lineup on Sunday vs. the Twins. He's been bothered by a wrist injury that's kept him out of the lineup since August 25. The team is optimistic that he will start on Monday, however, when the Sox head to Seattle to start a three-game series with the Mariners. Robert owns a solid .300/.336/.451 batting line to go along with 12 home runs, 56 RBI, and 11 stolen bases over 357 at-bats on the year.

Fri Sep 2 202216:34White Sox Put Luis Robert On Paternity List
The Chicago White Sox placed outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) on the paternity list on Friday and selected the contract of outfielder Mark Payton from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. The team also moved left-hander Aaron Bummer to the 60-day injured list. Robert left the team on Thursday to be with his pregnant wife, and he's likely to miss another day or two before rejoining the team. The 25-year-old hasn't played since Aug. 25 due to a lingering wrist injury, but perhaps he can rejoin the starting lineup early next week. AJ Pollock has been seeing time in center field with Robert sidelined, and he's gone 11-for-47 (.234) with three home runs, six RBI and seven runs scored in 11 games in the last 14 days.

Thu Sep 1 202216:05Luis Robert Away From The Team
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) has left the team for the birth of his first child, according to interim manager Miguel Cairo. Robert missed his fifth straight game on Thursday and has been sidelined with a sore left wrist, but now he could be away from the team for another couple days while on paternity leave. Cairo doesn't expect the 25-year-old to go on the paternity list, though, so perhaps he'll return to the starting lineup at some point this weekend against the Minnesota Twins. Robert has been a must-start for fantasy managers when healthy in 2022, as he's slashing .300/.336/.451 with 12 home runs, 56 RBI, 54 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in 378 plate appearances over 90 games played.

Thu Sep 1 202211:27Luis Robert Remains Out Against Royals
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals. Fantasy managers are surely getting antsy now, as Robert hasn't played in a week due to a sore left wrist, although he's made two appearances off the bench. If he's unable to get back into the starting lineup this weekend, it seems likely that he'll head for the injured list, which won't give him much time to make an impact in fantasy the rest of the way. AJ Pollock is getting another start in center field and will hit seventh against Royals right-hander Daniel Mengden on Thursday. Pollack isn't attractive in DFS against right-handers. On the season in 380 at-bats, he's hitting .237/.285/.368 with nine home runs, 43 RBI, 45 runs scored and one steal.

Wed Aug 31 202216:45Luis Robert Still Out Wednesday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals. Robert will start on the bench for the fifth straight game due to his sore left wrist. He's still day-to-day, but at this point, fantasy managers have to be wondering if he'll land on the injured list. The 25-year-old Cuban is hitting .300/.336/.451 with 12 home runs, 56 RBI, 54 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in his 357 at-bats, so he remains a must-start in fantasy when he's on the field. AJ Pollock is starting in center field on Wednesday and is hitting fifth against Royals left-hander Kris Bubic. Pollock isn't a bad DFS play against the southpaw, as he's hitting .281 (25-for-89) with seven of his eight home runs this season against left-handers.

Tue Aug 30 202218:16Luis Robert Not In The Lineup
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The young outfielder hasn't started a game since last Thursday due to a lingering wrist issue. Although, it sounds like Robert is making steady progress. The hope is that Robert can avoid the injured list and get back into the lineup this week. Until then, Andrew Vaughn, AJ Pollock, and Gavin Sheets are expected to cover the outfield for Chicago.

Fri Aug 26 202218:47Luis Robert Likely To Miss This Weekend
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) will likely miss the entirety of the team's weekend series with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Robert continues to feel pain in his wrist, and after a new scan showed inflammation in the wrist the team decided to shut him down for a few days. Manager Tony La Russa did say that Robert could be available off the bench, which signifies the White Sox don't have plans to put the star center fielder on the IL as of right now. Fantasy managers will want to monitor this situation closely over the weekend to see if Robert will be healthy enough to play next week.

Fri Aug 26 202217:06Luis Robert Held Out Against D-Backs
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Robert has been dealing with a sprained left wrist of late and will take the day off to rest up after having his wrist heavily wrapped after Thursday's contest. "It hurts a lot, every time I have a bad swing. Have to deal with it," Robert said. There's definitely a chance that the oft-injured outfielder will need a trip to the injured list, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Adam Engel will man center field on Friday and hit eighth against Diamondbacks left-hander Tommy Henry. Engel represents a low-upside DFS play who is hitting .233 (47-for-202) with only two home runs and 11 stolen bases in 93 games for the Pale Hose.

Sat Aug 20 202218:23Luis Robert Returns To White Sox Lineup Saturday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) will make his return to the lineup Friday night against the Cleveland Guardians. Robert had been nursing a sprained left wrist that caused him to miss the White Sox last 7 games, but after receiving a cortisone shot earlier in the week he is feeling better and is ready to make his return. Robert will hit second and play center field for the Chi-Sox. The 25-year-old star has put up a good season, but has lacked the power we have seen from him previously. He has a .301/.336/.454 slash line with just 12 homers, but has also added 11 steals. Maybe the break to heal his injury will get Robert back on track in the power department, but either way, he is a must-start whenever he is healthy.

Fri Aug 19 202216:03Luis Robert Remains Out Friday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Cleveland Guardians. Robert is missing his seventh straight game with a sprained left wrist that was suffered on Aug. 12. He received a cortisone injection in his wrist this week, although the White Sox don't expect him to need an injured list stint. However, at this point it's fair to wonder if the 25-year-old will be able to return this weekend. AJ Pollock is getting another start in center field and is batting leadoff on Friday against Guardians right-hander Triston McKenzie. Pollock has added DFS intrigue out of the leadoff spot and has been better in August, hitting .264 (14-for-53) with two home runs, five RBI and six runs scored in 16 games played.

Thu Aug 18 202211:09Luis Robert Out Again Thursday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Houston Astros. Robert received a cortisone injection for his sprained left wrist on Wednesday, but the White Sox remain adamant that he won't need a trip to the injured list. However, it remains to be seen if the 25-year-old will be able to return for a weekend series against the Cleveland Guardians that begins on Friday. With Robert out another game, AJ Pollock will man center field and bat leadoff on Thursday against Astros right-hander Luis Garcia. Pollock gains some DFS intrigue out of the leadoff spot, and he's also gone 12-for-42 (.286) with two home runs, four RBI and six runs scored in 12 games in the last 14 days.

Wed Aug 17 202223:51Luis Robert Receives Injection, Won't Go On Injured List
Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa said that outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) was sore after swinging a bat on Tuesday and received a cortisone injection to deal with the inflammation. Robert sat out again on Wednesday against the Houston Astros, but La Russa said there's no reason for Robert to go on the injured list. The 25-year-old has missed the last five games, so it's fair to wonder if the oft-injured outfielder will require an IL stint, even if La Russa says he won't go on the list due to a left wrist sprain. We'd be surprised if Robert is back in the lineup on Thursday, but perhaps he can return to the lineup for the weekend series against the Cleveland Guardians. Robert is a must-start fantasy commodity when he's on the field.

Wed Aug 17 202217:20Luis Robert Remains Out Against Astros
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Houston Astros. It will be Robert's fifth straight game starting on the bench with a sprained left wrist, but fantasy managers should continue to consider him day-to-day. The 25-year-old has played well when on the field in 2022, but he's often been banged up for fantasy managers. In 82 games played, he's hitting .301/.336/.454 with 12 home runs, 56 RBI, 51 runs scored and 11 stolen bases. Adam Engel is starting in center field on Wednesday and is batting eighth against Astros left-hander Framber Valdez. Engel has some speed (11 steals), but he's also hitting just .235 with two home runs and 14 RBI in 196 at-bats this year.

Tue Aug 16 202218:58Luis Robert Could Return Wednesday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) is set to miss his fourth straight game on Tuesday due to a left wrist sprain. Prior to Tuesday's game, White Sox manager Tony La Russa gave an update on the 25-year-old, saying that Robert could play as early as Wednesday or sometime in the "next couple of days." La Russa said that Robert is feeling better and just needs to take some swings. While Robert has seen his numbers fall off from last year, he's still been extremely productive for the White Sox and fantasy managers alike. Over 82 games, he's slashed .301/.336/.454 with 12 home runs, 11 stolen bases, 56 RBI and 51 runs.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) is being held out of the starting lineup once again on Tuesday as the team takes on right-hander Justin Verlander and the Houston Astros.

Mon Aug 15 202218:13Luis Robert To Miss His Third Straight Game Monday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) will remain out of action for Monday's series opener against the Houston Astros. AJ Pollock will be getting the start in center field for the game. Robert sprained his left wrist during this past Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers and he hasn't been on the field since. The 25-year-old has dealt with a number of injuries throughout the year, but this one doesn't seem to be anything major. He is being considered day-to-day for now. We'll see if he can get back in there on Tuesday.

Sat Aug 13 202217:14Luis Robert Won't Play Saturday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Instead, AJ Pollock will take his place, leading off and patrolling center field. Robert exited Friday's game with a sprained wrist, and although it's not ideal to see him sitting out Saturday, the good news is that he hasn't been placed on the injured list yet. The 25-year-old has made his presence felt once again this season, slashing .301/.336/.454 with 12 homers, 56 RBI, 15 walks, 65 strikeouts, and 11 stolen bases. Fantasy managers should check back on his status Sunday morning.

Fri Aug 12 202221:28Luis Robert Sprains Wrist Friday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert left Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers with a sprained left wrist. Robert went for X-rays, which came back negative, and the White Sox are calling him day-to-day. The star outfielder injured himself attempting to steal a base in the game. Robert went 2-for-3 with two singles in the game before getting replaced in center field by Adam Engel. It looks like Robert won't miss much time, if any, although it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get a day off on Saturday. Robert is hitting .301 with 12 homers, 51 runs, 56 RBI, and 11 steals on the season.

Sat Aug 6 202215:48Luis Robert Absent From Saturday's Lineup Against Texas
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (illness) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers. He was recently reinstated from the 10-day injured list after missing the last three weeks from a bout of light-headedness. The 25-year-old will receive a scheduled day off on Saturday. AJ Pollock is batting seventh and will handle centerfield duties on Saturday. Pollock is hitting .200 (2-for-10) with an RBI over his last five games. Fantasy managers can use Pollock as a streamer in a matchup against Rangers pitcher Dane Dunning in deep-league formats.

Wed Aug 3 202211:26Luis Robert Remains Out Wednesday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (illness) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals. Robert was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday, but he wasn't in the lineup. He hasn't played since before the All-Star break when he was removed from the game on July 15 due to light-headedness and dizziness. Robert is hitting .301/.334/.461 on the year with 12 home runs, 54 RBI, 48 runs scored and 11 stolen bases, so he's a must-start in fantasy when he returns to the lineup. AJ Pollock is starting in center field and hitting sixth on Wednesday against Royals right-hander Brady Singer. Pollock has gone 10-for-33 (.303) with a homer and nine RBI in 11 games over the last two weeks, but overall this year he hasn't done a ton for fantasy managers.
