Robert (wrist) was placed on the paternity list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old left the team for the birth of his child Thursday and has now officially been moved to the paternity list. Robert can be on the list for 1-3 days, so he may not rejoin the White Sox for this weekend's series versus the Twins. He's been held out of the lineup since Aug. 25 due to a wrist injury, so the additional time off could be beneficial.

Robert (wrist), who is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals, left the White Sox and flew home to witness the birth of his child, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert hadn't started in any of the White Sox's previous five games due to a sore left wrist, so he may have only been available Thursday as a pinch runner or defensive replacement if he didn't leave the team. Acting manager Miguel Cairo said he doesn't expect Robert to require a stint on the paternity list, noting that the expanded roster for September and the subsequent promotion of another outfielder (Adam Haseley) from Triple-A Charlotte likely won't make it necessary for the White Sox to deactivate Robert. Cairo said he expects Robert to rejoin the team at some point during this weekend's series with the Twins, though it's unclear if the 25-year-old will be able to step back into the lineup while he manages the wrist issue.

Robert (wrist) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox continue to evaluate Robert's status on a game-by-game basis, even though he hasn't started in the past week and has made only two appearances off the bench. Robert's sore left wrist isn't anything that affects him in the field or while running the bases, but he'll need to prove the wrist doesn't bother him while he swings the bat before he rejoins Chicago's lineup. AJ Pollock will pick up the start in center field Thursday while Robert sits again.

Robert (wrist) isn't in Tuesday's lineup against the Royals, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is Robert's fourth straight game out of the lineup as he battles left wrist soreness. He should be considered day-to-day until further notice from the team, although a trip to the injured list seems possible. AJ Pollock is playing center field Tuesday.

Robert (wrist) isn't expected to play during this weekend's series against the Diamondbacks, Scot Gregor of the Chicago Daily Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert recently missed seven games with a sprained left wrist, and while he's grabbed six hits including three doubles in five games since his return to action, he evidently needs a bit more time to recover. The White Sox have an off day Monday, so his earliest potential return date appears to be Tuesday against the Royals. Adam Engel will handle center field Friday.

Robert is still dealing with a wrist injury and is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old's left wrist was wrapped up after going 0-for-5 during Thursday's matchup with Baltimore, and he's not in the lineup for Friday's contest. Robert missed seven games with a sprained left wrist before returning to action last weekend, but he's apparently still managing the injury. Adam Engel will take over in center field Friday for the White Sox.

White Sox manager Tony La Russa said Robert (wrist) is scheduled to put in a full workout Thursday, but the skipper is uncertain if the outfielder will be ready to start in Friday's game against the Guardians, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert is out of the lineup for a sixth consecutive game in Thursday's series finale with the Astros, but he should be available in a pinch-running capacity like he was in Wednesday's 3-2 loss. La Russa said that Robert is dealing with more of a bruise than a sprain to his left wrist, so at this stage, the 25-year-old's main focus is ensuring he can swing the bat effectively while managing discomfort. How Robert responds to his batting session in the cage Thursday will likely be the key factor in the White Sox determining his availability heading into the weekend.
