Luis Robert Stats

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) was placed on the 10-day IL on Saturday with a sprained left wrist. The wrist has been bothering Robert for quite some time, as he originally sprained it on August 12 and has played in only 15 games since then. With the White Sox falling out of the race, they wouldn't want to push their star outfielder in meaningless games. They maintain that the injury in just an issue that needs rest, so he isn't expected to undergo surgery and should be ready to go for next season. Overall, it is another injury-riddled season for the 25-year-old, who has yet to reach 100 games played in any single season. He was good when healthy, although his power numbers didn't quite match up to lofty expectations. He will be a hard player to rank going into next season, as he still has sky-high potential, but injuries and the aforementioned lack of power may hurt his value.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is out of the starting lineup for the second straight day on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians. Robert is limping to the finish line in 2022 and has played in just seven games this month, mostly due to a hand/wrist injury. He's also suffered at the plate when he has played, going 1-for-23 (.044) with no homers, RBI or runs scored and eight strikeouts in 23 plate appearances. Until the 25-year-old shows signs of life, fantasy managers may also want to plant him firmly on their benches. AJ Pollock is getting another start in center field and will bat seventh on Thursday against Guardians right-hander Shane Bieber. Pollock has been pretty solid in September, hitting .278 (20-for-72) with four home runs, 11 RBI, 11 runs and a steal in 19 games.
