Robert went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk against the Dodgers in an extra-innings loss Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Robert and Eloy Jimenez got Chicago off to a fast start by hitting back-to-back homers in the first inning, though Robert would go on to strike out in three of his final four plate appearances. The performance is a pretty accurate encapsulation of the outfielder's play of late -- he's gone deep three times in his past four games but has also struck out in one-third of his plate appearances over that stretch. Robert has already established a career-high mark with 17 homers on the campaign, though both his .264 batting average and 29.5 percent strikeout rate are each his worst since his rookie season.

Robert went 2-for-6 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a double in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Robert has five multi-hit efforts and three homers over his last nine contests. He's up to 16 long balls on the year after taking Clayton Kershaw deep in the third inning Wednesday. Robert has added a .264/.319/.532 slash line with 35 RBI, 43 runs scored, four stolen bases and 19 doubles through 66 contests. While his ratios are lower than usual, he's enjoyed a run of good health so far while holding down an everyday role.

Robert went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Robert went hitless for the fifth time in 10 games in June, but he was able to pick up his second steal of the month. The outfielder is up to four steals on five tries this season. He's had some struggles at the plate, batting .261 -- his lowest mark since 2020 -- with an .835 OPS, 15 home runs, 34 RBI and 42 runs scored. The counting stats are there, so Robert remains a strong play in fantasy, even with a rough 29.4 percent strikeout rate.

Robert went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double in Sunday's 6-5 loss against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Robert clubbed a two-run homer off Huascar Brazoban in the seventh inning that plated Clint Frazier and advanced the White Sox advantage to 5-1. Though Chicago would ultimately fall, Robert's outing marked his fourth multi-hit effort in his last seven games and pushed him into 11th in MLB with 15 long balls. After being held to less than 100 games in each of his first three seasons due in part to injuries, Robert has yet to see an extended absence in 2023 and has slashed .264/.318/.525 through 64 games.

Robert went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run, two total runs and a stolen base Thursday in Game 1 of a doubleheader against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Robert hit one of three homers against Yankees starter Luis Severino, drilling a 424-foot solo shot in the third inning. He notched his third straight multi-hit performance in Game 1 of the twin bill, though that streak was snapped when he went 0-for-2 with a walk in the nightcap. Robert's homer was his 14th of the campaign, establish a new career-high mark.

Robert will hit the bench Saturday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Robert dealt with hip tightness earlier in the week, exiting Tuesday's game against the Guardians with the issue and sitting out Wednesday's contest. He returned for the first two games of the four-game set in Detroit, going 0-for-7 with a walk. His absence Saturday may be related to the same issue, though whether he's suffered a setback or just needs another day to rest has not been announced. Clint Frazier will get the start in center field.

Robert (hip) is back in the lineup Thursday at Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Robert will start in center field and bat third versus the Tigers and right-hander Alex Faedo after missing Wednesday's series finale against the Guardians due to a hip cramp. The 25-year-old outfielder has been lighting it up so far in May with a 1.202 OPS and can hopefully pick up right where he left off.

Robert (hip) said he fully expects to return to the lineup Thursday in Detroit, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert sat out of Chicago's shutout win over the Guardians on Wednesday after tweaking his right hip Tuesday, but he has described the injury as a cramp and experienced no issues during a pregame workout. The 25-year-old outfielder has been red hot in May and has pushed his season-long OPS up from .662 to .886 in the process.

Robert (hip) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Robert will be on the bench for at least one game after he exited in the eighth inning of Tuesday's 4-2 win with right hip tightness. The White Sox are labeling Robert as day-to-day for the time being, but he'll likely need to demonstrate progress on some level by the end of the weekend in order to avoid a trip to the 10-day injured list. Clint Frazier will fill in for Robert in center field Wednesday.

Robert left Tuesday's game against the Guardians with right hip tightness. He went 2-for-4 before exiting.
EDGE Analysis
Robert stumbled while fielding a ball in the eighth inning, and he was unable to continue against the Guardians. Romy Gonzalez has taken over in center field. Robert should be considered day-to-day, but the White Sox will likely have the 25-year-old undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury.
