Robert is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Robert missed six straight games in late April with a groin injury, but he returned to the lineup for each of the White Sox's previous four contests, going a collective 6-for-17 with a home run, an additional run and three RBI over that span. The White Sox haven't indicated that Robert is dealing with any sort of setback, so his absence from the lineup Tuesday may just be maintenance-related. Adam Engel will replace Robert in center field.

Robert went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's victory over the Angles.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox held a slim 1-0 lead in the fifth inning of Saturday's contest, but Robert gave them some breathing room with his first long ball since Apr. 13. It was a quiet first month for Robert, with his his groin injury presumably behind him, he could start heating up as the weather does.

Robert went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Friday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Robert returned to the lineup after a six-game absence caused by a groin injury. Prior to being sidelined, he had hit exclusively second in the order, though he dropped to fifth Friday. Despite collecting only nine hits in his first 49 plate appearances this season, Robert has still scored seven runs and swiped five bags. The biggest potential concern is that the injury lessens his activity on the basepaths, though there is currently no indication that he will be affected by the issue in the long term.

Robert (groin) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
AJ Pollock will pick up a start in center field in place of Robert, who will be on the bench for the sixth game in a row while he continues to experience groin discomfort. Given that the groin issue has lingered for several days, Robert likely would have been placed on the injured list already in most instances, but the depleted White Sox appear prepared to wait out his absence while the team remains without two of its other top hitters in Yoan Moncada (oblique) and Eloy Jimenez (hamstring).

White Sox manager Tony La Russa said Robert continued to feel "a little discomfort" with his groin while moving side to side, which is why the outfielder isn't included in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals, Vinnie Duber of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Rick Hahn said a day earlier that Robert was on track to put an end to a four-game absence Wednesday, but that ultimately won't materialize after the 24-year-old didn't feel 100 percent during his most recent workout. La Russa reiterated Wednesday that Robert won't be cleared to rejoin the lineup until he's able to do all baseball activities without discomfort, so a stint on the injured list could still be in the range of outcomes for the star outfielder. Adam Engel will draw the start in center field Wednesday and is expected to serve as the primary option at the position if Robert misses additional time.
