Robert isn't starting Wednesday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Robert was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday but didn't appear in Tuesday's game against the Royals. He'll remain out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale, but manager Tony La Russa suggested that Robert's ongoing absence is precautionary, per Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times. La Russa indicated that Robert will join the lineup Thursday against the Rangers as a designated hitter, then will play center field Friday before getting Saturday off.
