Tue Sep 13 202216:17Luis Robert Returns On Tuesday
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.

Sat Sep 10 202213:18Luis Robert Remains Out For The White Sox
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.

Thu Sep 8 202218:04Luis Robert On The Bench Against A's
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.

Wed Sep 7 202215:54Luis Robert Not In The Lineup Wednesday
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.

Wed Sep 7 202205:45X-Rays Come Back Negative For Luis Robert
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.

Mon Sep 5 202216:06Luis Robert Returns Against Mariners
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.

Mon Sep 5 202208:41Luis Robert Uncertain For Monday
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.

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.
