The White Sox exercised Robert's $20 million option for 2026 on Tuesday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert has slashed only .223/.288/.372 over 210 games covering the past two seasons and has a lengthy history of injuries. However, he hit .298/.352/.456 after the All-Star break in 2025, and the White Sox are betting on his ability to bounce back. Having a $20 million club option for 2027 surely factored into their decision, as well. Robert ended this season on the 10-day injured list with a strained hamstring, but he'll be 100 percent for spring training.

White Sox general manager Chris Getz acknowledged Wednesday that Robert could be done for the season after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert suffered the injury during Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Royals and was subsequently placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Given that he's been diagnosed with a moderate strain and the White Sox have less than five weeks of games remaining, a return before the end of the season looks like a long shot for Robert. Getz also noted Wednesday that the club remains "committed to Luis," perhaps hinting that the organization plans on exercising Robert's $20 million team option for 2026 this offseason. If Robert's 2025 season is indeed over, he'll finish with a .223/.297/.364 batting line, 14 home runs, 33 stolen bases, 53 RBI and 52 runs over 428 plate appearances. He performed much better following the All-Star break with a .298/.352/.456 slash line, after he had batted just .190/.275/.325 in the first half.

The White Sox placed Robert on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a left hamstring strain.
EDGE Analysis
Robert suffered the injury during Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Royals. The severity of the strain hasn't yet been revealed, but even a low-grade strain has the potential to keep Robert shelved longer than the minimum 10 days. Brooks Baldwin and Michael Taylor will likely see the bulk of the playing time in center field while Robert is sidelined.

Robert was removed from Tuesday's game against the Royals with left hamstring soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Robert grounded out during his lone plate appearance before his hamstring forced him out of the game in the fourth inning. More details on the severity of his injury should come once the White Sox are finished taking a look at him, but he can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Robert went 2-for-4 with a steal, a solo home run and an additional run scored during Saturday's 7-3 win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Robert supplied the White Sox an insurance run in the eighth inning on a solo blast to left-center field. He also recorded his 33rd steal in the third frame, which is sixth most in the majors this season. Robert is now on a six-game hitting streak and has an .857 OPS with 11 steals, five home runs and 18 RBI over 116 plate appearances since the All-Star break.

Robert went 1-for-6 with a two-run home run and two runs scored Monday against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Robert popped his home run to begin a six-run rally for the White Sox in the fourth inning. That ended a 10-game drought without a home run, during which Robert went only 8-for-36 with one RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases. While he's hitting just .218 for the season, Robert is only two home runs away from tallying the second 15-homer campaign of his career.

Robert went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Robert has hit safely in each of his last seven games, going 10-for-26 (.385) with two homers, three stolen bases and five RBI in that span. The outfielder has provided consistency at the plate for nearly a month now, his first largely successful stretch of the season. He's at a .219/.301/.362 slash line with 12 homers, 46 RBI, 44 runs scored and 29 steals across 92 contests.

Robert went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Saturday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Robert extended his hitting streak to five games with a single to lead off the second inning. He then stole second base -- his 29th bag of the year -- and came around to score the only run of the game. During his five-game hitting streak, Robert has gone 7-for-18 with three RBI, five runs scored and three stolen bases.

Robert (forearm) will start in center field and bat sixth in Monday's game versus the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Robert was struck on the right forearm by a pitch in the ninth inning of Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs, but X-rays came back clean, and he's made enough progress to re-enter the lineup a day later. The 27-year-old has finally heated up at the plate with a .926 OPS in July and is good bet to be traded to a contender ahead of Thursday's deadline.
