Returns to lineup Wednesday Robert is starting Wednesday against Toronto.

Impact Although Robert was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, he remained out of the lineup for the series opener against the Blue Jays. However, he'll serve as the designated hitter and bat cleanup during Wednesday's matchup. The 24-year-old slashed .341/.385/.459 with three homers, a double, 13 runs, 11 RBI and a stolen base over 20 games in May and will reclaim his role as an everyday player now that he's back in action.

Won't start in return from IL Robert (illness) isn't included in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Robert is ostensibly healthy again after the White Sox activated him from the COVID-19-related injured list earlier Tuesday, but his exclusion from the lineup suggests he might need one more day to fully regain conditioning. Adam Engel will cover center field Tuesday, but Robert should be back in the starting nine Wednesday and will likely play in at least four of the White Sox's remaining five games this week.

Comes off COVID-19 IL The White Sox reinstated Robert (illness) from the COVID-19-related injured list Tuesday.

Impact Though Robert's return should provide a big boost to the White Sox lineup, the team placed star shortstop Tim Anderson (groin) on the injured list, where he'll join two of the team's other top players in outfielder Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) and starting pitcher Lance Lynn (knee). While Anderson is on the shelf, the White Sox could look to Robert to serve as their leadoff hitter after Robert had mostly moved between the Nos. 2 through 4 spots in the order prior to testing positive for COVID-19 on May 24. Regardless of where Robert ends up settling in the lineup during Anderson's absence, fantasy managers shouldn't have any hesitation about activating him ahead of the White Sox's six-game week.

Impact The 24-year-old has been sidelined since testing positive for COVID-19 on May 24, but he's expected to rejoin the active roster this week. Robert could be available for Tuesday's series opener against the Blue Jays if he's able to continue ramping up without experiencing too much fatigue.

Impact Robert hit the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, with initial reports suggesting he was dealing with mild symptoms and could miss just one week. He seems to be on his way back and could still hit that timeline, though he may wind up needing closer to 10 days than one week. Still, it doesn't look as though his absence will stretch on much longer, nor does it appear that a rehab assignment will be necessary.

Impact After landing on the COVID-19 injured list earlier Tuesday, Robert looks like he'll miss all five of the White Sox's games this week before potentially returning to the lineup May 31 in Toronto if he's able to quickly regain conditioning following his bout with the virus. Adam Engel will pick up the start in center field Tuesday against the Red Sox and is expected to serve as the primary option at the position while Robert is sidelined.

Lands on COVID-19 injured list Robert was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday.

Impact The White Sox didn't announce whether their star outfielder had tested positive for the virus himself or if he's on the injured list for other reasons, so it's difficult to say whether or miss just a day or two or if he could miss one or multiple weeks. Adam Engel could see time in center field in his absence, or the White Sox could shift AJ Pollock from left field to center, opening up another corner spot for players like Gavin Sheets, Andrew Vaughn and Jake Burger, who was recalled to take Robert's place on the roster.
