Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hip) is trending towards a six-week absence, according to general manager Chris Getz. The organization recently gave a timetable of 6-8 weeks for Robert who is recovering from a hip injury. It's encouraging to hear that Robert might only miss six weeks of action. Barring any setbacks, Robert could be back in the lineup before the end of May. In the meantime, Gavin Sheets should see regular at-bats with Robbie Grossman and Kevin Pillar seeing more action as well.

The Chicago White Sox's expectation is that outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hip) will miss six to eight weeks with a Grade 2 right hip-flexor strain that he suffered on Friday night in the game against the Kansas City Royals. A Grade 3 right hip-flexor strain kept Robert out for almost four months back in 2021. While this one isn't as severe, the 26-year-old oft-injured outfielder is going to miss extended time nevertheless. With Eloy Jimenez (groin) also on the injured list for the 1-8 White Sox, it ensures that Dominic Fletcher and Gavin Sheets will continue to see regular at-bats for the Pale Hose. Meanwhile, veterans Kevin Pillar and Robbie Grossman will see extra playing time in Chicago's outfield moving forward. Despite Robert's long-term injury, he should be stashed in an IL spot in most fantasy leagues.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right hip flexor strain. The White Sox recalled infielder Lenyn Sosa from Triple-A as a result. Robert posted a .214/.241/.500 stat line with one stolen base over the opening week that was highlighted by a two-home run game against the Detroit Tigers on March 30. 26-year-old Dominic Fletcher will start in center field for Robert today as the White Sox continue their four-game set against the Kansas City Royals. Expect Fletcher to share time with Kevin Pillar in center field and potentially Robbie Grossman as well.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (leg) pulled up in clear pain after a one-out double to the left-field corner in Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals and was pulled from the contest. Robert was favoring his right leg after rounding first base in the ninth inning. Although we don't know the specifics of the injury just yet, it didn't look good for a player with a lengthy history of injuries. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if this ends up being an injured-list situation for Robert. He went 1-for-4 with the double in the eventual 2-1 loss. With Eloy Jimenez (groin) landing on the IL on Friday, the struggling White Sox could be down two of their best hitters for the foreseeable future. Robbie Grossman was called up from the minors on Friday, and veteran Kevin Pillar could be the next to benefit from extra playing time, depending on the severity of Robert's injury.UPDATE: Manager Pedro Grifol said after the game that Robert is dealing with a right hip-flexor injury.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. had a big day at the plate in Tuesday's 14-1 Cactus League win over the Reds. The 26-year-old went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a two-run HR, and a walk. He hasn't been particularly effective at the plate overall this spring, batting .231 with no stolen bases in 26 at-bats. However, he appears healthy, which has been the only impediment to him being a perpetual high-end fantasy option throughout his career.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. has played in both Cactus League games to start spring, going a combined 0-for-4 with a strikeout.

Despite hitting in a weak White Sox lineup, Robert has the potential to be a top fantasy contributor if he can stay healthy. It will be an encouraging sign for fantasy managers if he can put in a full spring.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (knee) will miss the rest of the 2023 regular season due to a mild MCL sprain in his left knee that will put him on the injured list.

Fantasy managers that invested in Robert at a relatively low cost have to be thrilled at how his season turned out in 2023.
