Robert will sit as expected Saturday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox are being cautious with Robert as he returns from a bout of lightheadedness that wound up costing him nearly three weeks. He was activated off the injured list Tuesday but didn't start a game until Thursday, when he served as the designated hitter. He started in center field Friday but will have a scheduled off day Saturday, with AJ Pollock handling the position in his absence.

Robert will get a planned day off Saturday against the Rangers, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

For those in leagues with Friday-Sunday lineup periods, it's worth noting that Robert will play only two games at most this weekend, but he's still a solid play. He is hitting second and starting in center field Friday with Glenn Otto on the mound for Texas. Doctors and trainers outlined a plan for Robert to be brought back carefully after his lack of a workload the last few weeks, and part of that plan involves a planned day off this weekend. AJ Pollock will start in center field Saturday.

Robert went 1-for-3 with two walks and a run scored Thursday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Robert was in the lineup for the first time since July 15, and he hit second while serving as the designated hitter. He tallied his lone hit in the first inning and managed to score a run after a leadoff walk in the third frame. Robert could continue to get some regular rest after a lengthy absence caused by lightheadedness and blurred vision, but his return provides a boost to both fantasy managers and the White Sox's lineup. Across 328 plate appearances on the season, Robert has managed a .301/.338/.460 line with 12 homers and 11 stolen bases.

Robert isn't starting Wednesday against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Robert was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday but didn't appear in Tuesday's game against the Royals. He'll remain out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale, but manager Tony La Russa suggested that Robert's ongoing absence is precautionary, per Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times. La Russa indicated that Robert will join the lineup Thursday against the Rangers as a designated hitter, then will play center field Friday before getting Saturday off.

Robert (head) was activated from the injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Tony La Russa did not expect Robert back until later in the week at the earliest, but he is apparently feeling good enough to suit up Tuesday night. He will not start in his first game back, but he could be ready to do so Wednesday.

Robert (head) is unlikely to return during Chicago's three-game series against Kansas City this week, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robert (head) could return to the lineup as soon as Monday against the Royals, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fantasy managers should prepare to be without Robert this weekend against Oakland. The outfielder went 1-for-5 with two strikeouts in his lone rehab appearance so far Thursday with Triple-A Charlotte.

Robert (head) reported to Triple-A Charlotte on Thursday to start a rehab assignment, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Tony La Russa recently indicated Robert wouldn't be ready to return from the 10-day injured list Friday when first eligible, but it appears the outfielder's return isn't far off. Robert will likely need a couple games in the minors to get back up to speed after missing time due to lightheadedness and blurred vision, so he could be back with the White Sox by the end of the weekend or early next week.

Manager Tony La Russa said Robert is still dealing with some symptoms of lightheadedness and blurred vision, and the center fielder isn't expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday when first eligible, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old landed on the injured list just before the All-Star break, and it appears he'll be sidelined beyond the 10-day minimum. Robert's status has improved and he's been doing more baseball activities, but he's yet to receive full clearance. It's unclear if he'll require a rehab assignment before being reinstated to the active roster.

Robert (head) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robert has been sidelined with lightheadedness since July 15, and he's still dealing with the issue following the All-Star break. While the outfielder will need at least a week and a half to recover, manager Tony La Russa hopes Robert will be able to return to action by the start of the team's series against the Athletics that begins July 29.
