Shifting rehab to Triple-A Robert (hip) will shift his rehab assignment from High-A Winston-Salem to Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Impact The move up to Triple-A marks the final step in Robert's rehab program for his Grade 3 right hip flexor strain, which has kept him on the injured list since early May. Robert drew favorable reviews during his recent four-game rehab assignment at Winston-Salem, going 3-for-12 with a double and a 1:3 BB:K. The White Sox will presumably want to see Robert play at least one or two full games in the outfield before reinstating him from the 60-day IL -- a move that could happen as soon as this weekend's home series versus Cleveland. Given the multi-category upside he's displayed when healthy over his two seasons in the majors, Robert needs to be stashed in all but the shallowest of fantasy leagues.
