Takes seat Tuesday Robert is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
Swats solo shot Robert went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk against the Dodgers in an extra-innings loss Thursday.
Impact Robert and Eloy Jimenez pushed Chicago to a fast start by hitting back-to-back homers in the first inning, though Robert would go on to strike out in three of his final four plate appearances. The performance is a pretty accurate encapsulation of the outfielder's play of late -- he's gone deep three times in his past four games but has also struck out in one-third of his plate appearances over that stretch. Robert has already established a career-high mark with 17 homers on the campaign, though both his .264 batting average and 29.5 percent strikeout rate are each his worst since his rookie season.

While his ratios are lower than usual, he's enjoyed a run of good health so far while holding down an everyday role.

Adds steal Tuesday Robert went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Robert went hitless for the fifth time in 10 games in June, but he was able to pick up his second steal of the month. The outfielder is up to four steals on five tries this season. He's had some struggles at the plate, batting .261 -- his lowest mark since 2020 -- with an .835 OPS, 15 home runs, 34 RBI and 42 runs scored. The counting stats are there, so Robert remains a strong play in fantasy, even with a rough 29.4 percent strikeout rate.

Smacks two-run home run Robert went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double in Sunday's 6-5 loss against the Marlins.
Impact Robert clubbed a two-run homer off Huascar Brazoban in the seventh inning that plated Clint Frazier and advanced the White Sox advantage to 5-1. Though Chicago would ultimately fall, Robert's outing marked his fourth multi-hit effort in his last seven games and pushed him into 11th in MLB with 15 long balls. After being held to less than 100 games in each of his first three seasons due in part to injuries, Robert has yet to see an extended absence in 2023 and has slashed .264/.318/.525 through 64 games.
