Impact 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.

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.

Records two hits, swipes bag Robert went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's loss against the Red Sox.

Impact 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.

The second-year outfielder has primarily hit out of the two-hole and has reached base safely in 11 of 12 contests.

Impact Robert finally showed off his power that fantasy managers have been waiting to see as he destroyed a hanging breaking ball over the left-field fence to break a 3-3 tie in the fifth. The 23-year-old has registered a hit in five of six games this season but is still lacking discipline at the plate as he also has nine strikeouts over that same span.

Impact Robert's speed led to the White Sox's first run of the season. He stole third base with two outs then came home on a wild pitch. The center fielder picked up where he left off in the Cactus League where he stole six bags and was caught once. He had nine swipes over 56 games in the shortened 2020 season, so 20-plus steals is a real possibility.
