Slugs third homer Robert went 2-for-5 with a walk, double and a solo home run across both games of the team's doubleheader against the Cardinals on Saturday.
Impact Robert collected his sixth double of the season in the final frame of the first contest. However, he waited until the second game to go yard, taking Jake Woodford deep in the third inning for his third home run of the season. Robert hadn't homered in his last 12 games and had hit just .200/.289/.250 while striking out 38 percent of the time entering Saturday's contests. Even so, Robert has maintained a .282/.341/.474 line with 11 runs scored, 10 RBI and four stolen bases across 85 plate appearances this season.

Manager sees signs at leadoff White Sox manager Rick Renteria plans to return Tim Anderson (groin) to leadoff, a spot Robert had been filling until Saturday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports....
Impact Even though Robert slashed .357/.455/.536 in seven games in the leadoff spot, Renteria noticed some issues the rookie was having. Opposing pitchers have been feeding him a steady diet of sliders since the start of the season, and Robert has been adjusting but still chases. Apparently, there were a few at-bats recently that prompted Renteria to drop him back to seventh in the order. "There are a couple of at-bats where he walked away from that box kind of scratching his head, going, 'Man, what just happened there?' '' Renteria said. ''I know I'm not the only one who sees that. He's still learning; he's still young.'' That's the reason why Renteria held Robert out of the starting lineup Monday.

Dropped in order Robert was dropped to seventh in the batting order Saturday and went 1-for-4 in a 7-1 loss to Cleveland.
Impact White Sox manager Rick Renteria slotted him in the seven-hole to start the season, not wanting to put too much pressure on the rookie, but he moved him to leadoff a week ago. Robert had thrived there, posting a .990 OPS with three stolen bases over the previous seven games, and no reason was given for the change. Robert has hit safely in 13 of 15 games and is batting .322/.385/.492.

Busy on basepaths Monday Robert went 1-for-3 with two walks, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Monday's 6-4 win over the Brewers.
Impact The 23-year-old has been exactly as advertised to begin his initial MLB campaign, showcasing both power and speed. Robert is slashing .350/.409/.575 through his first 10 games with two homers, three steals, six RBI and eight runs, and so far his tendency to swing and miss (4:12 BB:K) hasn't undercut his production.
