Tue Aug 2 202221:09Luis Robert Activated From The Injured List
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (head) was activated from the injured list Tuesday. He was initially expected to return later in the week but showed enough progress in his recovery to be activated on Tuesday. The 24-year-old wasn't in the starting lineup in his first game back against the Kansas City Royals. He had been terrific this season before landing on the IL, slashing .301/.334/.461 with 12 home runs, 54 RBI, 48 runs, and 11 stolen bases in 74 games. Robert's next chance to be in the lineup will be on Wednesday.

Mon Aug 1 202218:24Luis Robert Will Miss More Time
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (head) is not expected to return during their series against the Kansas City Royals, according to manager Tony La Russa. He landed on the injured list roughly two weeks ago due to blurred vision lightheadedness. Robert also sat out earlier this weekend due to a cold. Now, it sounds like the 24-year-old is finally doing better. However, the organization is going to be cautious and give Robert a few more days to rehab. Fantasy managers can be hopeful that Robert returns by the end of the week.

Fri Jul 29 202218:37Luis Robert Scratched From Rehab Game
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (head) has been scratched from Triple-A Charlotte's lineup Friday with cold symptoms. The young star has been dealing with light-headedness and dizziness over the past few weeks and just began his rehab assignment on Thursday. He is still scheduled to play on Saturday, so hopefully this is just a minor setback. Manager Tony La Russa also said that the earliest return date for Robert is Monday, which likely assumes he is feeling better by Saturday. The five-category contributor had finally begun to hit for power in July before his injury, slashing .328/.381/.586 with four homers in 58 at-bats. Fantasy managers should expect similar numbers for the rest of the season, assuming full health.

Thu Jul 28 202218:00Luis Robert Starting Rehab Assignment Thursday
The Chicago White Sox announced that outfielder Luis Robert (head) will start a minor league rehab assignment for Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday night. Robert won't be ready to return from the injured list when he's eligible on Friday, but the good news is that he's ready to return to game action. The 24-year-old hasn't played since experiencing light-headedness and dizziness on July 15, but he might only need a few rehab games in the minors before he's ready to return to the White Sox's starting lineup. Robert should remain rostered in all fantasy leagues, as he's hitting a strong .301/.334/.461 with 12 home runs, 54 RBI, 48 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in 306 at-bats this year.

Tue Jul 26 202222:19Luis Robert Unlikely To Return Friday When First Eligible
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (head) is unlikely to be activated from the 10-day injured list when he's first eligible on Friday. "He seems like he's improving every day, except he's still getting tested," said White Sox manager Tony La Russa. "There has been improvement, and he has been doing more baseball stuff, but other than that." The 24-year-old was pulled from the game early on July 15 after experiencing light-headedness and blurred vision. Robert remains day-to-day and is unlikely to return for this weekend's series against the Oakland Athletics. He is slashing .301/.334/.461 with 12 home runs, 54 RBI, 48 runs scored and 11 stolen bases over 74 games in 2022. Adam Engel should continue to handle center field duties while Robert is sidelined.

Fri Jul 15 202201:13Luis Robert Hits Grand Slam, Drives In Five
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert had a monster game Thursday, going 3-for-5 with a grand slam, a double, and five RBI. Robert now has three consecutive three-hit games, with two homers, eight RBI, and three runs scored in just that short span. He now has a .301/.332/.461 slash line with 12 homers, 11 steals, 47 runs scored, and 54 RBI in 318 plate appearances this season. While fantasy managers may no longer see him as worth the first-round pick many spent on him, Robert is among the premium outfield options in the league and will look to finish strong in the second half.

Thu Jun 23 202218:05Luis Robert Not Playing Thursday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (leg) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Baltimore Orioles. Robert left the game early on Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays with leg soreness, and the White Sox will hold him out for at least one game. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now, and hopefully he'll be back in the lineup on Friday. With the 24-year-old on the bench, Leury Garcia is playing center field and batting eighth, while Josh Harrison is at the keystone and is hitting ninth against Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer. DFS gamers should be able to find better upside plays on Thursday over Garcia and Harrison. Between the two of them in 2022, they have three home runs and 21 RBI.

Wed Jun 22 202219:17Luis Robert Expected To Play Thursday
Chicago White Sox skipper Tony La Russa said that outfielder Luis Robert is dealing with leg soreness and was contemplating leaving him in for another at-bat on Wednesday before pulling him early against the Toronto Blue Jays. Robert is expected to be back in the lineup on Thursday against Baltimore Orioles right-hander Dean Kremer. The 24-year-old has been slowed by injuries before, so fantasy managers should feel thankful that his leg injury wasn't anything more serious. He came into the day hitting a strong .300/.332/.432 with seven home runs, 35 RBI, 32 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in 232 plate appearances over 52 games. Fantasy managers should have Robert back in their starting lineups on Thursday.

Wed Jun 22 202216:54Luis Robert Exits Wednesday's Game With Potential Injury
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (leg) was removed late in Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Robert appeared to injure his leg in the sixth inning when he hit an RBI single. However, he remained in the game for a few innings prior to being removed in the eighth inning. The White Sox were down 9-2 when Robert was removed, so manager Tony La Russa may have just wanted to be extra cautious with him in a game the team was losing badly. Robert was 1-for-3 in the game prior to exiting. We should know more about the reason for his departure soon.

Tue May 31 202214:04Luis Robert Back From COVID Injured List
The Chicago White Sox reinstated outfielder Luis Robert from the COVID-19 injured list on Tuesday and officially placed All-Star shortstop Tim Anderson (groin) on the 10-day injured list with a strained right groin in a corresponding move. Robert is expected to be back in the starting lineup on Tuesday against Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman, so fantasy managers should be looking to do the same. The 24-year-old, who is hitting a strong .285/.319/.438 with six home runs, 17 RBI, 21 runs and six stolen bases through 33 games, could also hit at the top of the White Sox's order with Anderson on the shelf.

Sun May 29 202213:25Luis Robert Expected To Join The Team On Tuesday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (illness), who was placed on the COVID-19 injured list five days ago, should be able to rejoin the team on Tuesday when they head to Toronto for a three-game series. White Sox manager Tony La Russa said that Robert had "made significant improvement" and should be able to make the road trip with the team. Whether the talented outfielder plays on Tuesday or not is dependent on his level of fatigue as he continues to ramp up his activity, according to James Fegan. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress ahead of Tuesday's series-opener.

Adam Engel is starting in center field on Tuesday and is batting ninth against Boston Red Sox right-hander Nick Pivetta. Engel and AJ Pollock could share center field duties for the Pale Hose until Robert returns. Robert has been a must-start fantasy asset in 2022, as he's hitting .285/.319/.438 with six home runs, 17 RBI, 21 runs scored and six stolen bases in 33 games played.

Tue May 3 202218:13Luis Robert Being Held Out On Tuesday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is getting the day off on Tuesday as the team faces the Chicago Cubs. Adam Engel will be patrolling center field for the game and batting sixth. According to White Sox manager Tony La Russa, Robert's day off is a result of two things. First, La Russa wanted to give Robert a day off after he'd played four straight games. Second, the longtime manager noted that the outfield grass at Wrigley Field was slick, suggesting he didn't want to take any chances with Robert tweaking something. Robert was recently held out of action for about a week due to a groin injury. He's gone 6-for-17 at the plate with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored over four games since his return from the groin injury.

Fri Apr 29 202215:37Luis Robert Back In The Lineup Friday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (groin) is back in the starting lineup on Friday, starting in center field and batting fifth against Los Angeles Angels right-hander Noah Syndergaard. Fantasy managers can rejoice, as Robert has been held out of the team's last six games with a groin injury. The 24-year-old will be facing a hot Syndergaard in his return, but Robert's power/speed upside is hard to ignore. Robert is 9-for-44 (.205) in his first 11 games of the season, but he does have two home runs, three RBI and five stolen bases. Adam Engel and AJ Pollock had been splitting time in center field with Robert out recently, and neither outfielder will be in the starting lineup on Friday with Robert returning.

Thu Apr 28 202211:29Luis Robert Absent Against Royals
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (groin) is out of the starting lineup yet again on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals. This will be the sixth straight game that Robert has been on the sidelines due to groin discomfort. The White Sox aren't going to rush Robert back onto the field, but as of now, it looks like he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. AJ Pollock will get the start in center field and will hit seventh in the order against Royals right-hander Brad Keller on Thursday. Robert was just 9-for-44 with two home runs and three RBI in 11 games before his injury, but he also stole five bases and is a must-start in fantasy when he's in Chicago's lineup. Pollock has just four hits in his first 20 plate appearances for the Pale Hose, and he's still looking for his first home run.
