Robert was removed from Sunday's game at Boston with an apparent knee injury, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert walked during the first inning but had an awkward slide into second base, and the training staff appeared to be checking out his knee before he exited the contest. The 26-year-old had regularly been plagued by injuries over the previous two seasons, but he's stayed healthy in 2023 with a career-high 145 games played.

Robert went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 1-0 win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Robert provided the thunder in Saturday's rain-soaked pitcher's duel, tucking a low liner just fair of Pesky's Pole in Boston for a ninth-inning solo homer that proved to be the game-winner. The ball left his bat at 95.4 mph and wouldn't have been a home run in any of the other 29 big-league ballparks. Regardless, it's a home run in the box score, bringing Robert's season total to 38 while hitting .264 with 36 doubles, 80 RBI, 90 runs scored and 19 steals across 143 games (585 plate appearances).

Robert went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
He nearly manufactured Chicago's first run of the night by himself, swiping second and third base after a one-out single in the sixth inning before Andrew Vaughn brought him home on a grounder that Rafael Devers couldn't corral. The steals were Robert's first in September, but he's now one pilfer away from his first career 20-20 campaign -- through 143 games, he's slashing .264/.315/.539 with 37 homers, 19 steals, 79 RBI and 89 runs.

Robert went 3-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's loss against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first multi-hit game since Aug. 30 for Robert, who's now 4-for-9 with a pair of homers in his last two games after going 0-for-16 with 10 strikeouts in his previous four contests. The 26-year-old outfielder appears to be rounding back into form down the stretch. Robert's been a bright spot overall for Chicago this season, slashing .265/.316/.543 with 37 homers, 88 runs scored, 79 RBI and 17 steals across 584 plate appearances.

Robert went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Monday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Robert popped his first home run of the month and 36th of the season when he took Joan Adon deep in the fifth inning. While he's enjoyed a very strong season, Robert is closing the campaign in poor form -- he's maintained just a .163 batting average while striking out at a 34.6 percent clip across his last 15 games.

EDGE Analysis
Robert had started in 10 consecutive games since dealing with quadricep cramps. During that stretch, the outfielder went 6-for-40. Trayce Thompson will start in his place Sunday, batting sixth.

Robert went 1-for-4 with an RBI on Sunday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Robert was forced to miss three games within the last week due to a quadriceps injury, though he returned to the lineup Wednesday. He's collected four hits across 16 at-bats since, driving in two and scoring two runs. Most importantly, he's remained in the lineup every day and has shown no signs of a setback.

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.
