Luis Robert Jr. Homers In Tuesday's Return
Luis Robert Jr. (hip) did not waste time to contribute offensively in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Cubs. Robert Jr., who had been sidelined since early April with a Grade 2 right hip flexor strain, went 2-for-4 with a single, a solo home run, and a strikeout. The 26-year-old has just 33 plate appearances in 2024, but he is slashing a respectable .250/.273/.594 with three HR, five RBI, and a stolen base. Robert Jr.'s power-speed skills have made him a high-end fantasy option throughout his career, but injuries have often prevented him from reaching his full potential. He should be plugged into fantasy managers' lineups as long as he is able to play.

Luis Robert Jr. Knocks In Four Runs
Luis Robert Jr. extended his hitting streak to six games during Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Robert wasted no time as he knocked in an RBI with a single in the first inning. He would later slap a bases-clearing double to center field in the seventh inning. Robert finished his day 2-for-4 with four RBI and a stolen base in the blowout win. The slugging outfielder has 13 steals already, which is the most in the American League. Robert has shown the ability to be a star in this league earlier in his career, so hopefully he's back to being that kind of hitter. Robert should be rostered in most fantasy formats going forward.

Luis Robert Jr. Continues Running Wild
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. Homers, Swipes A Bag On Saturday
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. Homers In Victory
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.
