Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hip) was removed from Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians with hip tightness, according to Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times. Before his exit, he was 2-for-4 with a pair of singles. It isn't what fantasy managers want to hear, as Robert Jr. is putting up outstanding numbers, slashing .273/.328/.557 with 13 home runs, 34 runs, 29 RBI, and two steals across 49 games. The 25-year-old has yet to play more than 98 contests in a season due to injury troubles, and he's already dealt with a hamstring issue this year. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for more news on Robert Jr.'s status.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. went 2-for-4 with a four bagger, two RBI, and two runs scored in a win on Saturday against the Houston Astros. The 25-year-old is on a phenomenal run recently, raking to a .415 average (17-for-41) with five round trippers and 13 RBI across his last 12 games. He's been fantasy's number-one overall player in mixed roto leagues during this sizzling two-week hot streak. The former Gold Glover has just one stolen base in 2023, but fantasy managers will embrace the power surge with open arms. Robert is now slashing .268/.331/.537 this year. On Sunday, the speedy center fielder seeks to stay locked in versus Hunter Brown, who allows a .306 average to righties for his career thus far.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup on Sunday in the series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays. Robert is dealing with a minor hamstring injury and also was pulled early on Saturday for not running hard on the base paths. In his absence, Adam Haseley will start in center field for the White Sox and hit leadoff against Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen on Sunday. The 25-year-old Robert has six doubles, five home runs, 13 RBI and a stolen base in 27 games played so far, but he's also hitting just .213 (23-for-108) with 33 strikeouts and only four walks in 114 plate appearances. Robert has all the skills to be a difference-maker in fantasy, but it hasn't been the start fantasy managers had hoped for.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. was removed from Saturday's game against the Rays in the second inning due to a managerial decision. It was initially reported that Robert was pulled due to an injury but was removed due to his lack of hustle on a grounder that could have been beaten out for a base hit. Oscar Colas replaced Robert in Saturday's contest. The White Sox are on a nine-game losing streak and well on their way to losing their 10th straight contest, as Chicago is down 10-3 in the seventh inning. Robert has had a slow April, slashing .213/.248/.407 with five home runs, 13 RBI, 14 runs, and a stolen base over 27 games. The 25-year-old might be benched for another game or two, and fantasy managers will need to continue to monitor the situation.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is back in the team's starting lineup on Monday for the start of a series against the Minnesota Twins. Robert is patrolling center field and hitting second in the batting order against Twins right-hander Kenta Maeda. The 25-year-old slugger is returning to the starting lineup after getting a rest day in Sunday's series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Fantasy managers will want to get him back in their starting lineups immediately, as he's gone 15-for-41 (.366) with three doubles, four home runs, 10 RBI and seven runs scored in his first nine games of the 2023 season. When healthy, Robert can be a difference-maker with his bat in fantasy leagues.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is not in Sunday's starting lineup against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It will be Robert's first game off of the 2023 season. The 25-year-old Cuban has gotten off to a strong start this year, going 15-for-41 (.366) with three doubles, four home runs, 10 RBI and seven runs scored in 42 plate appearances. When healthy, Robert has the potential to be an impact bat for fantasy managers this year. With Robert starting on the bench, Oscar Colas will move to center field and hit sixth, while Romy Gonzalez enters the lineup in right field and in the seven-hole against Pirates right-hander Johan Oviedo. Gonzalez is 2-for-10 with two strikeouts in his first four games played this season.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is back in the team's Cactus League lineup on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants and left-hander Sean Manaea after playing for Team Cuba in the World Baseball Classic. Robert is manning center field and batting second in the lineup. The 25-year-old slugger went 7-for-27 with a double and four RBI for Team Cuba, and he returns to a poor .182 average (2-for-11) in just four spring games. Robert played in a career-high 98 games in 2022, so durability has been an issue for him in his three MLB seasons. But he hit .284/.319/.426 with a .746 OPS, 12 home runs, 56 RBI, 54 runs scored and 11 stolen bases last year when healthy. For his upside alone, Robert should be viewed as a top-15 fantasy outfielder.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (wrist) says he is healthy this spring after spending the winter doing more on-field work and baseball-specific activity in Florida, as opposed to previous offseasons when he just worked out a lot in the batting cages. Part of it was the fact that he had to be game-ready sooner in order to play in the World Baseball Classic in 2023 for Cuba. A bout with COVID-19, vision issues and a wrist injury limited Robert to a career-high 98 games played in 2022. He hit .284/.319/.426 with a .746 OPS, 12 home runs, 56 RBI, 54 runs scored and career-high 11 stolen bases. He also had a career-low 19.2% strikeout rate. As manager Pedro Grifol says, Robert has MVP potential if he can ever stay healthy for a full season.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) was placed on the 10-day IL on Saturday with a sprained left wrist. The wrist has been bothering Robert for quite some time, as he originally sprained it on August 12 and has played in only 15 games since then. With the White Sox falling out of the race, they wouldn't want to push their star outfielder in meaningless games. They maintain that the injury in just an issue that needs rest, so he isn't expected to undergo surgery and should be ready to go for next season. Overall, it is another injury-riddled season for the 25-year-old, who has yet to reach 100 games played in any single season. He was good when healthy, although his power numbers didn't quite match up to lofty expectations. He will be a hard player to rank going into next season, as he still has sky-high potential, but injuries and the aforementioned lack of power may hurt his value.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is out of the starting lineup for the second straight day on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians. Robert is limping to the finish line in 2022 and has played in just seven games this month, mostly due to a hand/wrist injury. He's also suffered at the plate when he has played, going 1-for-23 (.044) with no homers, RBI or runs scored and eight strikeouts in 23 plate appearances. Until the 25-year-old shows signs of life, fantasy managers may also want to plant him firmly on their benches. AJ Pollock is getting another start in center field and will bat seventh on Thursday against Guardians right-hander Shane Bieber. Pollock has been pretty solid in September, hitting .278 (20-for-72) with four home runs, 11 RBI, 11 runs and a steal in 19 games.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is on the bench on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians. Robert has been in and out of the lineup (mostly out) with hand/wrist injuries in the month of September, and his production has suffered as a result. He has just one hit in 23 at-bats with eight strikeouts in seven games played in September to drop his season line to .284/.319/.426 with 12 home runs, 56 RBI, 54 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in 380 at-bats. The 25-year-old slugger has played just twice in the team's last six games. AJ Pollock will patrol center field and bat seventh on Wednesday against Guardians right-hander Triston McKenzie. Pollock has been much hotter at the plate this month, going 20-for-68 (.294) with four homers, 11 RBI, 11 runs scored and a steal in 18 games.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hand, wrist) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Detroit Tigers. Robert continues to be a headache for fantasy managers due to lingering injuries. The 25-year-old will miss a second straight game, but he's had just 14 at-bats in the month of September due to his left hand/wrist injury. When healthy, though, Robert has produced, hitting .291/.327/.437 with 12 home runs, 56 RBI, 54 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in 371 at-bats. AJ Pollock will draw another start in center field and hit seventh in the batting order on Friday against Tigers right-hander Matt Manning. Pollock is hitless in his last three games, but he's gone 15-for-50 (.300) with two homers, five RBI, nine runs and a steal in 14 games this month.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hand) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians. Robert went 1-for-8 with three strikeouts in two games this week after returning from ongoing hand/wrist issues on Tuesday. He's played in just four games since Aug. 31 because of his injuries and is limping to the finish line in September. The 25-year-old has played well when healthy this year, but he's been in and out of the lineup, making him a frustrating fantasy commodity. Overall, he's batting .291/.327/.437 with 12 homers, 56 RBI, 54 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in 371 at-bats. AJ Pollock is getting the start in center field and is batting seventh on Thursday against Guardians right-hander Hunter Gaddis.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hand) is back in center field and is batting seventh on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Chad Kuhl. Robert has been sidelined for all but two games in the month of September due to hand and wrist injuries. He hasn't played in a full game since Sept. 5 and hasn't recorded a hit since Aug. 24, going 0-for-11 with three strikeouts in five games since then. The 25-year-old will return to the seventh spot in the lineup as well, which makes him less attractive from a fantasy standpoint. When he's been healthy, Robert has swung the bat well, slashing .295/.331/.444 with 12 home runs, 56 RBI, 54 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in 363 at-bats.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hand) is still absent from the lineup on Saturday against the Oakland Athletics. The dynamic 25-year-old will miss his fourth straight game after being plunked on the hand on Tuesday against the Mariners. Prior to being struck on the hand, he was dealing with a left wrist injury that kept him in and out of the lineup. He currently has no timetable for his return but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hand, wrist) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Oakland Athletics. Robert was hit by a pitch on Tuesday and suffered a bruised left hand, so he'll miss his second straight game Thursday. The 25-year-old was dealing with a wrist injury on the same hand before the hit by pitch, so it remains to be seen how quickly he can return to the field. In his absence, Adam Engel is starting in center field and batting ninth on Thursday against A's left-hander JP Sears. Engel does have a little speed (12 stolen bases), but the counting stats and power just aren't there for fantasy managers as a reserve outfielder. He's slashing just .229/.276/.322 with two homers, 14 RBI and 29 runs in 214 at-bats this year.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hand) is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners. Robert was hit by a pitch in his left hand on Tuesday night, but thankfully X-rays came back negative. Still, it's yet another ailment for the 25-year-old outfielder after he recently returned from a nine-game absence due to a left wrist injury. It sounds as though Robert is day-to-day for now, but given his injury history, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him land on the injured list. Fantasy managers need to prepare for that possibility. With Robert out yet again on Wednesday, AJ Pollock will get the start in center field and bat seventh against Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo. Pollock has produced pedestrian numbers as a part-time outfielder in 2022 and will have a tough DFS draw against Castillo.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (hand) underwent X-rays that returned negative after he left Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. He was diagnosed with a bruised left hand. The 25-year-old was struck on the left hand by a pitch and was removed in the bottom of the fifth inning during Tuesday's loss. He avoided a significant injury and is considered day-to-day. Robert is slashing .295/.331/.444 with 12 home runs, 56 RBI, 54 runs and 11 stolen bases over 384 plate appearances in 92 games. Robert is questionable for Wednesday's series finale against the Seattle Mariners. Adam Engel would see an uptick in playing time if Robert misses any games.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) is back in center field and is hitting seventh against the Seattle Mariners and left-hander Marco Gonzales on Monday. Robert hasn't played since Aug. 31 and hasn't started since Aug. 25 due to a sore left wrist, and he was also away from the team over the weekend while on the paternity list. The 25-year-old slugger will be less attractive in DFS a little lower in the batting order, but fantasy managers in single-year leagues will want to get him back into their lineups. In 357 at-bats this year, Robert is hitting a strong .300/.336/.451 with 12 home runs, 56 RBI, 54 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in 378 plate appearances over 90 games in his third MLB campaign.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) was activated off the paternity leave list on Sunday. Despite that, Robert remained out of the starting lineup for Sunday's contest against the Minnesota Twins. He continues to battle an ongoing wrist injury, so that's probably why he sat out. Robert has been dealing with this wrist problem since August 26. It's uncertain when he'll be ready to get back on the field. It sounds like fantasy managers are going to need to be patient with him.
