Robert is eligible for reinstatement at any time, and the White Sox could add him back to the 26-man active roster at some point during the team's series against the Blue Jays that runs through Wednesday. He's been out since late May with a left hamstring strain, but Robert has been running for a few days and appears likely to bypass a rehab assignment.
