Chicago White Sox outfielder
Luis Robert Jr. (knee) remains out of the starting nine on Sunday when the White Sox face the Miami Marlins. Robert was unable to play to suit up on Saturday due to this injury as well. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next game on Tuesday evening against the Cincinnati Reds. Over his last 14 games, Robert has held a .265/.357/.469 slash line with one double, three home runs, 10 RBI, and eight stolen bases. With Robert sitting out,
Michael Taylor will cover center field and bat in the nine-hole. Given Robert's five-category upside, he remains a strong option in all standard formats going forward. This afternoon, the White Sox carry decent streaming appeal in DFS, facing
Sandy Alcantara, who enters this game with an 8.42 ERA.

Luis Robert Jr. will get a breather on Tuesday against the division-rival Kansas City Royals. With Robert on the bench,
Michael Taylor will patrol center field and bat in the nine-hole against Royals right-hander
Seth Lugo. Robert will take a much-needed day off after starting each of the team's last 16 games. The 27-year-old hit .241/.371/.483 with four home runs and nine stolen bases over those 16 games. The Cuban outfielder does have 15 steals on the year in 117 at-bats, but he's hitting a disappointing .188 (22 hits) with five home runs, 15 RBI and 19 runs scored as the team's everyday center fielder. Fantasy managers setting DFS lineups can do better than Taylor, who is hitting just .191 (13-for-68) with a homer, six RBI and three steals as a reserve outfielder. He's hitting .091 with a .182 OPS in 11 career at-bats against Lugo.

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.

Chicago White Sox outfielder
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).
