Robert (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Robert's continued absence from the starting nine for the series finale was fully expected after he received an injection Wednesday to reduce the inflammation in his sprained left wrist. Assuming Robert's wrist responds to the shot as anticipated, he could resume swinging a bat within the next 24 hours and put an end to his six-game absence Friday in Cleveland. For what it's worth, manager Tony La Russa expressed confidence Wednesday that Robert won't require a trip to the injured list. That notion was seemingly supported by Robert appearing as a pinch runner in Wednesday's 3-2 loss, meaning the White Sox won't be able to backdate a potential IL stint.

EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Astros for a fifth straight game due to a left wrist sprain, but La Russa still believes the center fielder won't require a trip to the injured list. According to Scott Merkin of MLB.com, Robert isn't expected to rejoin the lineup for Thursday's series finale versus Houston, though he may be able to retake the field during the three-game set in Cleveland this weekend.

Robert left Friday's game against the Tigers with a sprained left wrist, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
X-rays were negative, so Robert appears to have avoided the worst-case scenario, but it's still possible he misses time. That would be a big blow to the White Sox, who remain in the thick of a playoff race, as Robert increased his slash line to .301/.336/.454 with a pair of hits prior to the injury.
