Robert is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Robert looks to be receiving a scheduled maintenance day after starting in center field in all nine of Chicago's games to date while hitting .366 with four home runs, 10 RBI and seven runs. Oscar Colas will slide over from right field to cover center Sunday, while Romy Gonzalez gets the chance to pick up a rare start in right as Robert sits.

Robert went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double Sunday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Robert began his productive day with a double to left field in the first inning, and he followed that up with a solo homer in the fifth frame. Those were his first extra-base knocks of the season, though he's hit reasonably well by going 5-for-19 through four games. Most importantly, he has been fully healthy after being limited to 98 games in 2022.

Robert (wrist) said last week in an interview with James Fegan of The Athletic that he's fully healthy for spring training and is already in game-ready form while he prepares to play for Cuba in the upcoming World Baseball Classic. "I didn't alter my workload in the offseason because of what happened last year," Robert said. "What I did during this offseason, I did it for me. I did it because I wanted to feel better coming into spring training, instead of what it used to be, that I came to a spring game feeling a little cold, not completely ready."
EDGE Analysis
Though he established new career-high totals in 2022 with 98 games played and 401 plate appearances, Robert endured a second straight season that was marred by health concerns. He was sidelined due to a bout with COVID-19, blurred vision, a groin injury and a jammed left wrist, with the latter issue keeping him out for the final two weeks of the season. Due to the time he missed, the 25-year-old said he took part in more on-field, baseball-specific activities during the offseason as opposed to previous winters where he mainly lifted weights and hit in the batting cage. Staying healthy will be paramount in enabling Robert to reach his vast potential, but at various points during his young career, he's already provided glimpses of a five-tool skill set. His medical history will surely scare off some fantasy managers on draft day, but the upside could be immense if Robert can come through with a season of 600-plus plate appearances.

Robert landed on the injured list with a sprained left wrist Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The move looks like a sign of surrender from the White Sox, who have fallen eight games back of the Guardians in the race for the AL Central crown. Robert has had a frustrating season, as three separate trips to the injured list have conspired to limit him to 98 games. He'd been missing time on and off with his latest issue since mid-August, playing just six games in the month of September. He'll technically have a chance to return before the end of the season, but the White Sox will likely prefer to give him the opportunity to heal given that they're all but out of the playoff mix.
