Luis Robert Jr. went 1-for-3 with a home run, a steal, and a walk in his team's 7-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday. The 27-year-old gave the White Sox an early 2-0 lead when he and teammate
Andrew Benintendi hit back-to-back long balls in the bottom of the first inning, though that'd be all the offense they could muster. Robert Jr. may finally be waking up at the plate, as he's recorded two homers in his last three games while putting together a four-game hit streak -- his longest of the year. Additionally, he's stolen four bases during that stretch, already putting him at 11 on the young season. He has an excellent chance to eclipse the career-high he set in that figure a season ago (23).

Luis Robert Jr. went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run, three runs scored, and a stolen base in Saturday's 10-3 win over the Athletics. The home run was his third of the season, and he's now up to eight steals, but it has been another disappointing season so far for the former All-Star. The 6-foot-2 slugger has had one multi-hit performance in 2025, and it came way back in March, currently slashing .148/.269/.273 with a 33.0 percent strikeout rate, .250 wOBA, and 59 wRC+. With his offensive potential, fantasy managers probably need to exercise patience in hopes he eventually turns it around, but leaving him on the bench for now could be a wise move.

Luis Robert Jr. tried to break out of his slump during Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox. He was fairly quiet until blasting a two-run home run in the sixth inning to tie the game. Robert would later steal a base and score the game-winning run in the ninth inning. It has been an ugly start for Robert, but he is tied for the MLB lead in steals with six. He has also collected a hit in four of his last five games. Hopefully, Robert is now trending in the right direction, so fantasy managers should continue to hold him.

Luis Robert Jr. will head to the bench for Thursday's series finale against the division-rival Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field.
Michael Taylor will start in center field and will bat eighth against Guardians right-hander
Gavin Williams. Robert could probably use the day off, as he was hitless in his five plate appearances on Wednesday and has gone just 6-for-39 (.154) with a double, RBI, three steals, three runs scored, five walks and 13 strikeouts in his first 11 games in 2025. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried just yet, but hopefully the 27-year-old slugger can begin to pick things up this weekend for a series at home against the visiting Boston Red Sox. Taylor has gone just 3-for-17 in the early going with a homer, two RBI and a stolen base in eight games played. He'll be a weak DFS option, and he's never faced Williams in his career.
