Tue Sep 5 202316:26Luis Robert Jr. Sitting On Tuesday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (quadriceps) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals. Robert will miss his third straight game with cramping in his right quadriceps muscle, but manager Pedro Grifol said the team is targeting Wednesday for Robert's return to the lineup. Gavin Sheets is making the start in right field for the Pale Hose and will hit sixth in the batting order against Royals right-hander Brady Singer. The 26-year-old Robert must be returned to all starting fantasy lineups whenever he returns for Chicago. He's in the midst of a breakout year in 2023, hitting .272/.324/.560 with an .884 OPS, 35 home runs, 71 RBI, 17 stolen bases and 81 runs scored in 486 at-bats.

Oscar Colas will make another start in right field and will bat seventh against Royals left-hander Cole Ragans. Robert is missing his third straight game due to cramping in his right quadriceps muscle, but fantasy managers should continue to consider him day-to-day for now and check back on Tuesday to see if he has returned to the field. The 26-year-old Cuban is in the midst of a breaking season in 2023, so hopefully he'll be back in there soon. Robert is currently slashing .272/.324/.560 with an .884 OPS, 35 home runs, 71 RBI, 17 stolen bases and 81 runs scored in 486 at-bats.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (quadriceps) was scratched from Sunday's starting lineup against the visiting Detroit Tigers for the second straight day due to cramping in his right quadriceps muscle. Oscar Colas will start in right field for the Pale Hose and hit eighth against Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal. For now, fantasy managers must consider Robert day-to-day and check back on Monday to see if he's available for the start of a series against the Royals in Kansas City. The 26-year-old slugger has been a must-start in fantasy lineups all year during his breakout season. Robert has set career-highs across the board in 128 games played (532 plate appearances) with a .272 average (132-for-486) with 35 home runs, 33 doubles, a triple, 71 RBI, 17 stolen bases and 81 runs scored.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (finger) has returned to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs and right-hander Kyle Hendricks.

But now that he's back, fantasy managers will want to get him back in their starting lineups in all formats. The 26-year-old has really made his fantasy managers happy in 2023 with a .271/.325/.563 slash line, .889 OPS, 31 home runs, 65 RBI, 16 stolen bases and 74 runs scored in 113 games in what has been a true breakout campaign.

Wed Aug 9 202322:09Luis Robert Jr. Day-To-Day With Sprained Pinkie
Updating a previous report, Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (finger) was removed from Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees with a sprained pinkie finger on his right hand. X-rays came back negative and he's listed as day-to-day. Before leaving prematurely, Robert went 1-for-1 with a walk, a run scored and two stolen bases before being replaced in center field by Trayce Thompson. The White Sox have a scheduled off day on Thursday before beginning a series on Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers, so it's possible Robert won't miss any time at all. The 26-year-old Cuban slugger is in the midst of a true breakout season in 2023, slugging 31 home runs, driving in 65, stealing 14 bases and scoring 74 runs in 112 games. Robert has been a must-start in all fantasy leagues.

Wed Aug 9 202321:27Luis Robert Jr. Removed Early On Wednesday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hand) was removed early during Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees. The 26-year-old appears to have possibly suffered a right hand injury while sliding into third base during a steal attempt. The team lifted Robert for a defensive replacement in the fourth inning. Possibly, the White Sox are just taking the cautious approach with their young slugger. Fantasy managers should get another update on his status shortly.

Thu Aug 3 202312:10Luis Robert Jr. Resting Against Rangers
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is taking the day off on Thursday against the Texas Rangers. Trayce Thompson (oblique), who was activated from the 60-day injured list on Thursday, will make his White Sox debut and start in center field and bat sixth against Rangers right-hander Max Scherzer. Robert was selected to his first All-Star team this year and has been the White Sox's best hitter this season. He's currently batting .267 (109-for-408) with a career-highs across the board in home runs (29), doubles (29), RBI (60), stolen bases (12) and runs scored (70) through 446 plate appearances and 106 games played. He's been a bit more slugging of late, though, going 7-for-30 with a homer, four doubles, three RBI, one steal and four runs scored in his last eight games.

Fri Jul 14 202316:06Luis Robert Jr. Ready To Go For Start Of Second Half
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (calf) is back in the team's lineup on Friday against the Atlanta Braves and right-hander Charlie Morton for the start of the second half of the season. Robert is starting in center field and batting third. It's good to see after he didn't play in Tuesday's All-Star game after tweaking his right calf during the Home Run Derby on Monday. The 25-year-old is now fine to start the second half of the season after getting some much-needed time off to rest this week. Robert has been a must-start in all single-year fantasy leagues in 2023, slashing .271/.330/.569 with an .899 OPS, 26 home runs, 51 RBI, eight stolen bases and 62 runs scored in 339 at-bats. If he can remain healthy, this year will easily be his best in the big leagues, if it isn't already.

Tue Jul 11 202317:37Luis Robert Jr. To Skip All-Star Game Due To Sore Calf
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (calf) will skip Tuesday's All-Star game in Seattle as a precaution after feeling tightness in his right calf during the first round of Monday's Home Run Derby. Robert had an MRI exam in Seattle and is being listed as day-to-day. He will be evaluated again before the second half of the season starts for the White Sox on Friday on the road against the Atlanta Braves. Hopefully this doesn't turn into something that will put the 25-year-old on the injured list to begin the second half, but it doesn't sound too serious. The Cuban slugger made the All-Star team for the first time in his career in 2023 by hitting .271 (92-for-339) with a career-high 26 home runs, 23 doubles, 51 RBI, eight stolen bases and 62 runs scored in 375 trips to the plate. He's a must-start in all fantasy lineups if he's ready to play this weekend.

Sat Jul 8 202310:44Luis Robert Jr. Belts Clutch Homer In Win
Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-7 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. In an entertaining battle between two of MLB's most underperforming teams, the 25-year-old tied the contest 7-7 with a seventh-inning bomb. A bases-loaded walk later in the frame would give the White Sox the lead and ultimately result in the victory. After a quiet April, Robert is slashing .299/.367/.652 with 21 jacks, 37 RBI, and seven stolen bases over 252 plate appearances since May 2. The speedy slugger's MVP-level performance has represented a shining light on a dim array of vast Chicago disappointments. Fantasy managers hope Robert can stay healthy and deliver continued prosperity during the second half of the campaign.

Mon Jun 26 202312:11Luis Robert Jr. Leaves The Yard Twice Sunday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. did all the heavy lifting in Sunday's 4-1 win over the visiting Boston Red Sox on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and two runs scored. Robert is now up to 21 home runs on the season and has been sizzling-hot in his last eight games, going 10-for-28 (.357) with four home runs, a double, six RBI and six runs scored in 31 trips to the plate. The 25-year-old Cuban slugger has always had the skills, but he's struggled with consistency, mainly due to injuries. Robert is putting it all together in 2023, though, and is now hitting .269 (77-for-286) with 21 long balls, 20 doubles, 42 RBI, four stolen bases and 51 runs scored for the White Sox in 76 games played. He's a must-start when he's active.

Sun Jun 25 202309:32Luis Robert Jr. Homers Again, Still Lacking RBI
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert connected on another round-tripper on Saturday night, going deep in the bottom of the sixth inning to help propel Chicago past the Red Sox by a score of 5-4. The home run was Robert's 19th of the season, and while the consistent power is a welcomed sign for fantasy managers, the RBI total of 39 on the season leaves a bit to be desired. Much of that can be attributed to the White Sox owning the 28th-best wOBA in the league to this point, and if Robert can keep up his 40-homer pace, odds are more of them will be with runners on base in the second half of the season. In fact, there's some room for power growth here, as logic suggests the center fielder can decrease his lofty 38.7% ground ball rate while ticking up his mediocre 30.9% hard-hit rate. There's certainly potential for a 50-bomb season in the 25-year-old's future. Along with his 19 homers and 39 RBI, Robert is hitting .262 with 49 runs and four stolen bases.

Sat May 27 202312:09Luis Robert Jr. Out Against Tigers
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Detroit Tigers. Robert dealt with tightness in his hip earlier in the week and didn't play on Wednesday, but this looks to be just a normal day of rest for the oft-injured outfielder. In the two games since his return, the 25-year-old has gone hitless in seven at-bats and will start on the bench on Saturday. Robert should be in most starting fantasy lineups whenever he's on the field, as he can do it all with the bat when he's healthy. He's currently hitting .263 (50-for-190) with 13 doubles, 13 homers, 29 RBI, two steals and 35 runs in 51 games. Clint Frazier is starting in center field on Saturday and is hitting eighth against Tigers right-hander Michael Lorenzen.

Thu May 25 202315:35Luis Robert Jr. Returns Against Tigers
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hip) is back in the starting lineup on Thursday against right-hander Alex Faedo and the Detroit Tigers. He's starting in center field and is hitting third in the batting order. Robert was pulled from Tuesday's game early due to tightness in his hip and was held out on Wednesday, but the injury was never serious and he's back in there on Thursday. The 25-year-old should be returned to all starting fantasy lineups. Robert is starting to heat up in the month of May and is now slashing .273/.328/.557 with an .886 OPS, 13 doubles, 13 home runs, 29 RBI, two stolen bases and 34 runs scored in 201 trips to the plate over 49 games played.

Wed May 24 202316:51Luis Robert Jr. Says He'll Play Thursday
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hip) said he will play on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers. Robert was pulled from Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians with tightness in his right hip and also didn't play on Wednesday, but he appears to be just fine and isn't expecting to land on the injured list. The 25-year-old oft-injured outfielder described the injury as more of a cramp, so he should be available this weekend. If he does indeed return on Thursday, fantasy managers will want him back in their starting lineups. Robert has been feasting at the plate in May, hitting .360 (27-for-75) with seven doubles, eight home runs and 16 RBI in 21 games to raise his season slash line to .273/.328/.557 in 201 plate appearances.

Wed May 24 202312:16Luis Robert Jr. Absent Against Guardians
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hip) is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians. Robert exited Tuesday's game prematurely in the eighth inning due to right-hip tightness, and he's out on Wednesday as a result. The oft-injured 25-year-old is currently being considered day-to-day, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him miss more than one game this week. Given all the time Robert has missed in his career due to injuries, fantasy managers should prepare for the worst. Clint Frazier is manning center field and hitting seventh on Wednesday against Guardians right-hander Cal Quantrill. In 49 games so far this year, Robert is hitting a respectable .273 (50-for-183) with 13 doubles, 13 home runs, 29 RBI and two stolen bases.
