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.

Robert (groin) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Though general manager Rick Hahn said Tuesday that he expected Roberts to be back in the lineup Wednesday, the star outfielder will ultimately miss out on a fifth consecutive start on account of a groin strain. The White Sox haven't indicated that Robert is dealing with any sort of setback in his recovery, but a trip to the injured list is growing likelier with each additional day that he's out of the lineup. Adam Engel will draw the nod in center field in place of Robert, who can be viewed as day-to-day until the team indicates otherwise.

Robert (groin) is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday against Kansas City, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert is out of the lineup for the fourth straight game due to a strained groin, but it doesn't appear as though his streak of absences will stretch to five. The White Sox didn't want him to play in a night game Tuesday followed by a day game Wednesday, so they'll elect to have him only play in Wednesday's contest.

Robert (groin) remains on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert exited Thursday's game against the Guardians with what was called a minor groin strain. He didn't play at all during the weekend series against Minnesota, as reports from Friday indicated would be the case, but the fact that he's still not ready to go following Monday's off day is a potentially worrisome sign. He's yet to be placed on the injured list, however, and the White Sox demoted center fielder Adam Haseley on Tuesday, which could indicate that Robert is expected to return shortly. Adam Engel will handle center field Tuesday.

Robert (groin) isn't starting Friday against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Robert sustained a minor groin strain while running to first base in Thursday's loss to the Guardians, and he'll miss at least one game. Manager Tony La Russa said the 24-year-old could require a trip to the injured list, but the outfielder remains day-to-day prior to Friday's series opener. AJ Pollock will shift to center field while Andrew Vaughn starts in left.

Robert has been diagnosed with a minor groin strain following Thursday's loss to the Guardians, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robert appeared to tweak something while running out a grounder in the top of the eighth inning Thursday, and it's now been specified as a groin issue. Although manager Tony La Russa called the injury minor, he acknowledged Robert could require a stint on the injured list. The 24-year-old should be further examined before the White Sox determine his status, and Adam Engel, Leury Garcia and Adam Haseley are likely to see time in center field if Robert is sent to the IL.
