Robert went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
His sixth-inning shot off Hunter Greene proved to be the game-winning hit. Robert has gone yard twice in the last four games as he begins to put his April slump behind him, but on the season the 25-year-old outfielder is slashing just .236/.288/.463 with seven homers, one steal, 16 runs and 18 RBI in 32 contests.

Robert went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 6-4 victory over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Robert got the White Sox off to a strong start with his three-run blast off Louis Varland in the first inning. Though it would turn out to be Robert's only hit in the contest, it was positive step for the outfielder after he slashed just .113/.203/.161 with no homers and a 5:22 BB:K over his previous 18 games. Robert racked up six multi-hit efforts over his first 11 games of the campaign but has yet to record any such performances since.

Robert (hamstring) is in the lineup Tuesday versus the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Pedro Grifol removed Robert from Saturday's game versus the Rays due to what he called a lack of hustle, although Robert revealed after the contest that he's been battling some hamstring soreness. After not starting Sunday, Robert is back in there following Monday's off day.

Robert (hamstring) made a pinch-hitting appearance in Sunday's 12-9 win over the Rays and was hit by a pitch in his lone trip to the plate in the seventh inning.
EDGE Analysis
Robert exited early in Saturday's 12-3 loss after he jogged lightly to first base when hit a groundball back to the pitcher in the bottom of the first inning, with manager Pedro Grifol suggesting afterward that the outfielder was pulled due to a lack of hustle. However, Robert disclosed to the media following that game that he didn't run out the grounder since he was still experiencing some right hamstring discomfort stemming from Friday's contest and was trying to be conservative with when he chose to exert max effort. There seems to be some merit to Robert's claim, as he was available off the bench Sunday but was lifted for a pinch runner immediately after he took his base when he was hit by the pitch. Robert will benefit from the White Sox having off Monday, and he could be ready to reclaim his regular role in center field in Tuesday's series opener with the Twins.

Robert (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's not completely clear at this time whether Robert is out of the lineup due to the tightness in his right hamstring or if this is a continued punishment for not running hard to first base, which resulted in him being removed early in the loss to the Rays on Saturday. Adam Haseley is starting in center field and leading off for the White Sox with Robert out of the lineup Sunday.

Robert told reporters after Saturday's loss to the Rays that he's been dealing with a tight right hamstring, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert was bench after White Sox manager Pedro Grifol believed that Robert had a mental lapse and didn't run out a ground ball in Saturday's loss to the Rays. Robert also told reporters that he didn't tell the coaching staff about the right hamstring, even after he was benched. Robert could be back in the lineup for Sunday's finale, but there could be further discipline or a possibility of Robert resting his hamstring as well. It's a less-than-ideal situation.

Robert's exit from Saturday's game against the Rays was a managerial decision, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert appeared to grimace before leaving Saturday's game after grounding out Saturday, but the decision appears to be a benching by Pedro Grifol rather than something related to injury. Oscar Colas replaced Robert in the lineup as the right fielder with Adam Haseley moving to center from left.

Robert left Saturday's game against the Rays in the second inning with an apparent injury, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert was seen grimacing while running to first base on a groundout, and the outfielder was replaced by Oscar Colas as a pinch hitter an inning later. The outfielder should be considered day-to-day for now with more specifics likely to come before the end of Saturday's game.

Robert went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Robert ended an 0-for-10 slump at the plate with a single in the first inning and would end up stealing second for his first stolen base on the year. He's gone cold with his bat and has just four hits over his last 41 at-bats. He remains a regular fixture atop the batting order despite is ongoing slump and will look to turn things around sooner rather than later.
