Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (leg) was removed in the seventh inning of Game 4 of the ALDS against the Houston Astros due to right leg tightness. Adam Engel came in to replace him in center field. The White Sox were down 6-1 when Robert was taken out of the game and they went on to lose the game 10-1, putting an end to their season. Robert capped off a strong ALDS performance by going 1-for-3 in Game 4. He slashed .467/.556/.467 over the four-game series as a whole.
Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa has shuffled his lineup a bit for Game 4 of the ALDS against the Houston Astros. Outfielder Luis Robert, who has primarily hit second in the order lately, will hit third in Tuesday's game. Yoan Moncada is bumping up to the No. 2 slot while Jose Abreu is moving from his usual No. 3 slot into the clean-up position. The White Sox are facing elimination in Game 4, trailing the Astros 2-1 in the series. Robert has been one of the team's best hitters so far in the series. He's gone 6-for-12 with two walks and four runs scored. However, he has yet to hit an extra-base hit.
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is being bumped up to the No. 2 spot in the lineup for Game 2 of the ALDS against the Houston Astros. Robert primarily hit second in the order during the final weeks of the regular season, but he was dropped to fifth in the order for Game 1. Yoan Moncada hit second in the series opener, but he'll be in the No. 6 slot for Friday. The White Sox are going up against left-hander Framber Valdez in Game 2. Robert mashed lefties to the tune of a .397/.441/.794 slash line this year. Look for him to be a difference-maker as the White Sox attempt to even the series on Friday.

One of the only ways to maintain fantasy relevance while posting a swinging-strike rate near or above 20% is to swing often and make any contact count. Robert did all of that in 2020, swinging more frequently than anyone other than Hanser Alberto while posting a .432 xwOBAcon and stealing nine bases in 56 games. Robert also struck out at a 32% clip that was more than well-supported by a 22% swinging-strike rate and bottom-ten o- and z-contact rates, sticking him with an ugly .233 batting average. The 2021 projection on Robert is fairly straightforward given his solid power, impressive speed, and tendency to swing and miss: he's a legitimate 20 home run, 20 stolen base threat with the upside to hit more than 30 home runs, but it's probably going to come with a strikeout rate north of 30% and a batting average below .260. That makes Robert a relatively high-risk, high-reward pick at his 35 ADP, but it's a reasonable cost given his upside.
