Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. did a bit of everything offensively in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Guardians. Robert Jr. went 2-for-4 with a single, a two-run home run, four RBI, a strikeout, and a stolen base. The 26-year-old turned on a sixth-inning Carlos Carrasco slider, putting it just over the left-field wall to tie the game. Robert Jr. has provided power but has been disappointing overall, slashing .215/.286/.512 with 10 HR, 19 runs scored, 18 RBI, and four stolen bases in 133 plate appearances. He missed time with a right hip flexor strain as well but stayed healthy in 2023 and put together a great season. His fantasy ceiling is quite high, so fantasy managers should continue to put their trust in him if they can afford it.
The Chicago White Sox have had several teams contact them about center fielder Luis Robert Jr., but given his struggles this year, they are considering hanging onto him into at least the winter since he's under team control through 2027. Robert is hitting just .205 (24-for-117) with 14 RBI and 18 runs scored in 31 games, but he's also managed nine home runs despite missing a big chunk of time due to another injury. The 26-year-old Cuban slugger finally managed to stay healthy in 2023 and made his first All-Star team by hitting 38 home runs, driving in 80 and stealing 20 bags in 145 games. Robert still has the potential to be a beast if he can just stay on the field, so the White Sox would be crossing their fingers that he can stay healthy going into next season so that they can potentially trade him next summer (or even this winter) at his highest value.
Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. homered on Saturday in a game against the Colorado Rockies. The 470-foot blast off Cal Quantrill was his ninth home run of the season. Robert Jr. also scored a run as well. He is hitting .206 on the season with nine home runs, 13 RBI, three stolen bases, and 18 runs. The star outfielder has struggled with the bat over the last month, with only 16 hits in 89 plate appearances, good for a .203 batting average. He has hit six home runs in June, so the power has been there for Robert Jr. even as the batting average has suffered in 2024.
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. went 2-for-3 in Thursday afternoon's win over the visiting Atlanta Braves, cranking his eighth home run of the season. Robert launched a solo homer off Braves left-hander Chris Sale to left field, putting the White Sox on the board in the first inning of Thursday's 1-0 shutout victory. The 26-year-old star center fielder has been one of the main subjects of trade rumors this summer, and he would likely benefit greatly from a fantasy perspective if he were moved from the last-place ChiSox in July. Robert now has just 12 RBI in 28 games on the South Side this year, slashing a lukewarm .204/.281/.485 with 15 runs scored and three stolen bases over 103 at-bats.
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert went yard in a 7-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Friday. Robert wound up going 1-for-4 with the homer and a strikeout in the winning effort. Robert's solo shot came off Boston starter Cooper Criswell in the first inning, a blast that traveled 430 feet and had an exit velocity of 111.7 MPH. Robert is now hitting .205 with four homers, six runs, six RBI, and one steal across 44 at-bats in 2024. He will look to go yard again on Saturday as the Red Sox send right-hander Brayan Bello to the mound.
