Back in spring lineup Robert (abdomen) will start in center field and will bat sixth in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers.

Impact Robert checks back into the lineup after he was sidelined for a few days with an abdominal strain. Since the White Sox are comfortable enough using Robert in the outfield rather than at designated hitter in his first game back in action, fantasy managers shouldn't have any concerns about his availability heading into Opening Day. Through his first eight spring games, Robert has gone 8-for-24 with a home run, three doubles and three stolen bases.

Exam shows no serious issues Robert (abdomen) is still experiencing some discomfort but an examination revealed no serious issues, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

Impact The White Sox have every reason to treat Robert with caution after he was scratched Monday with an abdominal strain. He may sit for a few more spring games, but it doesn't look as though his readiness for Opening Day will be seriously threatened.

Scratched with abdominal strain Robert was a late scratch from Monday's game against the Cubs due to a lower abdominal strain.

Impact The White Sox say it was a precautionary measure, but the injury sounds like it could be more than just a day-to-day thing. He will likely go for further evaluations/tests before the team supplies any more information regarding a timetable for his return.

Launches first homer, swipes base Robert went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a stolen base in Saturday's spring game against the Angels.

Impact The home run was the first of Cactus League play for Robert, who has four extra-base knocks among his eight hits. The talented outfielder now has three steals in eight spring games, suggesting he may improve upon the nine swipes he had over 56 games in 2020.

Making plate adjustments Robert went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI single in Wednesday's spring game against the Royals.

Impact Robert is off to a good start this spring, clearly motivated to put last year's sluggish September behind him. White Sox hitting coach Frank Menechino talked about the young outfielder's offseason work with Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun Times. "He worked his tail off, made some adjustments in his setup, made some adjustments with pitch recognition," Menechino said. "He's taking a lot more balls right now. He's really got his setup and approach working." Robert is 3-for-6 with two doubles in his two spring starts. He's batted leadoff in those games but is expected to settle in lower in the order once the regular season opens.

Impact Robert was on his way to an MVP-caliber season through the end of August, but a September swoon (11-for-81, .409 OPS) put an end to such talk. The outfielder makes a good point about the season being longer. Over the final three-game series against the Cubs, Robert went 5-for-11 then hit safely in all three postseason games (4-for-13, including a 487-foot home run). He's expected to hit in the lower third of the order, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com, as manager Tony La Russa wants Robert to earn his way to the top of the order.
