Luis Robert Jr. Out Against Twins
5 months agoChicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. heads to the bench for Monday's series opener against the visiting division-rival Minnesota Twins. With Robert getting a breather, Andrew Benintendi, Corey Julks and Gavin Sheets will start across the outfield in Chicago from right to left, respectively. Tommy Pham was scheduled to start in center and bat leadoff, but he was scratched due to a dental issue. The 26-year-old Robert will get a day off after starting in each of the team's last 12 games. Robert has so far been a fantasy bust in 2024 after setting career-highs in homers (38) and stolen bases (20) in 2023 while earning his first All-Star selection. Unsurprisingly, though, he's missed time with another injury this year and is currently slashing .227/.301/.496 with 10 home runs, 19 RBI and six stolen bases in 37 games. He should still be rostered in all fantasy formats for his power and speed, and Robert could see an increase in value if he's traded at the deadline to a contender.
