Robert (hand) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
After he was recently out of the lineup for a nine-game stretch due to left wrist soreness, Robert started just two games before succumbing to yet another issue related to the hand, which was struck by a pitch in Tuesday's 3-0 loss. Though Robert avoided structural damage to the hand and was diagnosed with a bruise, it's still a troubling development given his lingering wrist injury. According to James Fegan of The Athletic, Robert recently acknowledged that he's been playing through discomfort in the wrist for nearly a month, and he didn't seem to be swinging the bat with full authority in his first two games back in the lineup. With that in mind, it wouldn't be surprising if Robert missed multiple contests due to the bruised hand, even though the White Sox are treating him as day-to-day for the time being.

Robert had X-rays come back negative and was diagnosed with a bruised left hand after leaving Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old was struck on the hand by a pitch on a swing Tuesday, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. Robert is fresh off a nine-game absence due to left wrist soreness, and he's now dealing with another injury in the same area. He should be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's series finale in Seattle.

Robert was removed from Thursday's game against the Mariners after being hit by a pitch in the left hand/wrist on a swing, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old initially remained in the contest but exited after striking out on a one-handed swing during the fifth inning. Robert returned to the lineup Monday after he missed nine games with left wrist soreness, and he may have aggravated the injury Tuesday. He should be considered day-to-day until more information is available.

Robert went 0-for-4 Monday against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Robert returned to the lineup for the first time in nine games due to the combination of a wrist injury and being placed on the paternity list. Though his line wasn't notable, Robert hit seventh -- the lowest spot in the order he's occupied this season. Robert has been available inconsistently throughout the campaign, but he has maintained a .296/.332/.446 line with 12 homers and 11 stolen bases across 382 plate appearances.

Robert (wrist) will start in center field and bat seventh Monday against the Mariners, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he didn't land on the injured list on account of his sore left wrist, Robert didn't start in any of the White Sox's last nine games and made only two appearances off the bench during that stretch. He might have been a candidate to return to the lineup this past weekend, but his placement on the paternity list Friday ended up nixing those plans. Robert rejoined the team Sunday and turned in a full workout without issue, paving the way for him to crack the lineup for the first time since Aug. 25. After slotting no lower than fifth in the order at any point in the season, Robert will settle into a bottom-third spot Monday, but it shouldn't be long before he pushes his way up the lineup.

Robert (wrist) was reinstated from the paternity list but isn't in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old will rejoin the active roster ahead of Sunday's series finale versus Minnesota, but his absence will be extended one more game due to the wrist issue. However, acting manager Miguel Cairo said Robert is expected to rejoin the lineup Monday in Seattle.

Robert (personal/wrist) will rejoin his teammates Saturday night and could play Sunday if his wrist allows, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert has missed the White Sox's last eight games, first due to a sore left wrist and then due to the birth of his child. While he'll be back with the team Sunday and could be activated off the paternity list, the White Sox won't know whether or not his wrist is ready to go until he's examined by team trainers.

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.
