Robert will sit for the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Robert had been out since Sunday due to the health and safety protocols after feeling flu-like symptoms, but he continued to test negative for COVID-19 and was able to return from the injured list Thursday. He won't be asked to play two games in one day right away, but he'll likely be back in the lineup for the nightcap. Billy Hamilton starts in center field in his absence.

Robert (illness) is expected back in the lineup Thursday against the Tigers, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox played things safe by putting Robert through the COVID protocols after he reported flu-like symptoms Monday night. He has been testing negative for the virus while quarantining, so it sounds like he will only miss a couple games.

Robert, who was placed on the injured list as a precaution after dealing with flu-like symptoms Monday night, is feeling better Tuesday but will need to go through the proper protocols before returning, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Earlier this month, Dylan Cease went on the injured list for a couple days as a precaution but was soon activated and barely missed any time. That could be an outcome in this instance as well, assuming Robert feels better and tests negative for coronavirus. He should be considered day-to-day for now.

Robert was placed on the injured list Tuesday with flu-like symptoms, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
He called the team's medical staff Monday night reporting flu-like symptoms and will be placed on the IL as a precaution. The team is hopeful that his symptoms will resolve quickly so that he can clear the testing protocols and return to the active roster soon. Luis Gonzalez was called up earlier in the day and will serve as short-term outfield depth.

Robert went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-5 win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Robert posted his first three-hit game and seventh with multiple hits in 18 contests. He's put to rest any thoughts that last year's September swoon would carry over into 2021. Robert, who has a 1.131 OPS over the last seven, is slashing .310/.351/.493 for the season. The stolen bag was his third, putting him on pace to steal 27 bases over the course of 162 games.

Robert went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Monday's loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Robert handed his club a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning with an RBI double to left field, but the Red Sox would respond by putting up six runs in the bottom half and ultimately cruised to an 11-4 victory. The 23-year-old has been hot at the dish over his last six contests, going 9-for-23 with four extra-base hits, two RBI and a stolen base.

Robert went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's loss against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Robert continues to make an impact in the bottom of the White Sox's order and has recorded three straight two-hit appearances while hitting safely in five of his last six contests. As if that wasn't enough, he also stole his second base of the campaign. The young outfielder has reached base in nine of his last 10 games and is expected to remain at the bottom of the order now that Tim Anderson is back from his hamstring injury.

EDGE Analysis
The White Sox plated a first-inning run then did nothing until the ninth inning, when Robert came home after hitting his first triple of the season. With the return of Tim Anderson from a hamstring injury, Robert was dropped from second to seventh in the order.
