Robert (quadriceps) is starting in center field and batting third Wednesday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Robert sat out the past four games while managing a quadriceps cramp, but he'll return to action for Wednesday's series finale in Kansas City. The 26-year-old already has career highs with 35 homers, 71 RBI, 81 runs and 17 stolen bases through 129 games this season.

Robert (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Pedro Grifol previously suggested Chicago was targeting Wednesday for Robert to rejoin the starting nine, so it's no surprise the outfielder will sit Tuesday for the third straight contest due to a right quadriceps cramp. Oscar Colas will shift to center field while Gavin Sheets receives the start in right.

White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Monday that the team is "shooting for maybe Wednesday" for Robert's (quad) return to the lineup, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert will miss a third straight start Monday with a right quad cramp and is not expected to play Tuesday's either. "We're shooting for maybe Wednesday," Grifol said. "Which would be perfect because Thursday's off and we can go back to his normal schedule Friday. The most important thing is he's way better." It wouldn't be a surprise if Robert is ultimately held out through Wednesday, giving him an extra two days when combined with Thursday's off day. It does appear he'll avoid the injured list, but it might be difficult for fantasy managers to start him this week.

Robert (quad) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Robert will miss a third straight start due to a right quad cramp. If you're looking for a silver lining, the White Sox made a few roster moves Monday and Robert remains on the active roster, which provides hope that he could be ready to play any day now. Trayce Thompson is in center field Monday.

Robert (quad) is hoping to return to the lineup for Monday's game versus the Royals, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert was a late scratch from the White Sox' lineup each of the last two days due to cramping in his right quad. The issue seems to be relatively minor in nature, but the team will be extra cautious with the star outfielder so it's not a slam dunk that he will be back in action Monday. Oscar Colas has shifted over to center field to cover for Robert's absence.

EDGE Analysis

Robert was a late scratch from Saturday's game versus the Tigers due to a right quad cramp, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert will probably be fine if it is indeed just a cramp, but he'll be re-evaluated Sunday to make sure. Gavin Sheets entered the lineup as Robert's replacement, with Oscar Colas sliding over to center field.

Robert is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Oscar Colas will shift over from right field to cover center while Robert sits for the first time since Aug. 13. With a .265 average, 34 home runs and 16 stolen bases in 124 games this season, Robert has been one of the few bright spots for the White Sox in the midst of a 51-79 season.

Robert went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Robert continued his impressive campaign with a monstrous 447-foot solo shot in the eighth inning. The outfielder has flashed a tantalizing skill set throughout his career, but until this season he'd struggled to stay healthy, topping out at 98 games last year. Robert has been able to mostly shed that issue in 2023, and he's thus emerged as an elite fantasy producer, posting a .273/.326/.568 slash line with 33 homers, 67 RBI, 76 runs and 16 steals over 481 plate appearances. Shohei Ohtani is the only other big-leaguer with at least 30 long balls and 10 thefts so far this season.
