Luis Robert Jr. Sitting Against Royals
4 months agoChicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is out of the team's starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the visiting division-rival Kansas City Royals. With Robert getting a breather for the White Sox, Dominic Fletcher will make the start in center field and will hit eighth against Royals right-hander Brady Singer. It looks like a normal day of rest for the 26-year-old power hitter on Wednesday after the White Sox chose not to deal him at Tuesday's trade deadline. The Cuban slugger has missed more time this year due to injury and is batting just .222 (46-for-207) with a .294 on-base percentage, but he's also contributed 12 home runs and 15 stolen bases for the worst team in baseball. As long as Robert is healthy, his power/speed combination makes him relevant in all fantasy formats. Fletcher is hitting .179 (14-for-78) on the year and is still searching for his first homer in 2024.
