Luis Robert Jr. Fantasy Stats

New York Mets outfielder Luis Robert Jr. will be in a very different environment this year as he adjusts to playing for the Mets instead of the White Sox. Robert has flashed a very high ceiling and has elite raw talent, but has struggled with injuries and consistency throughout the last few seasons. 2025 was a down year for the 28-year-old, who hit .223 with 14 homers and 33 stolen bases in 110 games. His totals were very similar to his 2024 numbers but a big dropoff from his 2023 stats, when he hit .264 with 38 homers and a .358 wOBA in a career-high 145 games. He has elite power and speed upside as he joins the Mets, but he needs to cut down on his strikeouts and improve his average to be a top outfield option. The Mets have brought him along very slowly this spring, and he is 3-for-7 (.429) in his very limited playing time. If he slots into a good spot in the order on a regular basis, he will have a very high ceiling, but he'll need to improve against righties, or he could slip into a platoon. He's a boom-or-bust play with lots of upside, and he makes sense as a middle-round outfielder. He's currently ranked as RotoBaller's No. 26 outfielder, making him a nice third outfielder in most standard-sized mixed leagues.

The New York Mets will not be playing outfielder Luis Robert Jr. in Grapefruit League games out of the gate in an effort to keep him healthy, according to Laura Albanese of Newsday. The Mets will work on strengthening Robert's lower body first, but the new outfielder is healthy in camp, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. The 28-year-old has a history of missing time in his career due to lower-body injuries, so the Mets are going to play it safe early on. The Cuban outfielder has hit the 100-game mark in each of the last three seasons, but he's played over 140 games in his career just once in his six MLB seasons. In 110 games in 2025 in his final season with the Chicago White Sox, Robert slashed .223/.297/.364 with a .661 OPS, 14 homers, 53 RBI, 52 runs, and a career-high 33 stolen bases. There is still power/speed upside with Robert if you're willing to take the injury risk. Playing in New York with a better team also makes his upside more enticing. He's RotoBaller's No. 27 fantasy outfielder as their everyday center fielder.

The New York Mets acquired outfielder Luis Robert Jr. from the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for utility infielder Luisangel Acuna and pitching prospect Truman Pauley. Robert struggled across 431 plate appearances with Chicago in 2025, posting a .223/.297/.364 slash line with 14 home runs, 53 RBI, 52 runs scored, and 33 stolen bases. However, the 28-year-old is just two seasons removed from his 38-homer, 20-stolen base campaign in 2023 that led him to a Silver Slugger award in 2023. Robert Jr. projects as the Mets' everyday center fielder due to his strong defense, and he still brings an intriguing mix of power, speed, and all-around upside. Even in a down year in 2025, he posted his lowest strikeout rate (26%) since 2022 and recorded the best walk rate (9.3%) of his career. After years of playing for the rebuilding White Sox, Robert Jr. will also have a chance to boost his counting stats in a much more talented Mets lineup. RotoBaller currently ranks him as the #29 outfielder for traditional rotisserie scoring fantasy leagues.

The New York Mets have acquired outfielder Luis Robert Jr. from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for infielder Luisangel Acuna and right-handed pitcher Truman Pauley. Robert has been linked to trade rumors for over a year and has finally found a suitor. The 28-year-old has taken a bit of a step back in terms of offensive production over the past two seasons, but a change of scenery could provide him with a much-needed spark. In 2025, Robert held a .223/.297/.344 line with 14 home runs and 33 stolen bases. In 2024, he also hit 14 home runs but stole only 23 bases. However, from 2021 through 2023, the outfielder looked like a budding star, as he held an overall .287/.331/.511 line with 21 home runs per season (and a high of 36 back in 2023). Despite modest production in 2025, Robert generated a 99th percentile bat speed with an above-average barrel rate, suggesting he still carries power upside. Managers should expect Robert to take over center field duties in Queens and see his counting stats increase, batting alongside Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto, and Bo Bichette.

The Cincinnati Reds have re-engaged in trade talks for Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr., according to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Robert is under contract for $20 million in 2026 with a club option for 2027. In return, the White Sox are reportedly looking for young talent and prospects who are close to MLB-ready. Over a year ago, the Reds showed interest in Robert, and now it appears they're even more serious about making a deal happen. The 28-year-old is a former Gold Glove Winner and All-Star who hasn't been able to recapture the success he had earlier in his career due to injuries and underperformance. Last year, Robert slashed .223/.297/.364 with 14 home runs, 53 RBI, 52 runs scored, and a career-high 33 stolen bases across 431 plate appearances. Right now, the Reds outfield consists of TJ Friedl, Noelvi Marte, Gavin Lux, and Will Benson. Robert would be a clear defensive upgrade, and hitting in Great American Ball Park would be a huge boost for his fantasy value. At an ADP around 133, you're drafting a potential 30/30 candidate without spending an early pick. If he does get traded, don't be surprised if he starts moving up draft boards pretty quickly.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is being linked to the San Diego Padres by Bruce Levine of 670 The Score. Meanwhile, the White Sox are being linked to right-hander Dustin May, reliever Pete Fairbanks, and hitters Mike Tauchman, Ryan O'Hearn, and Jake Meyers. This offseason could finally be the time that the White Sox trade Robert after picking up his $20 million option for the 2026 season in early November. The 28-year-old Cuban has elite physical skills both on offense and defense, but staying healthy has been an issue. Robert was unable to play more than 98 games in his first three years in the majors, and he's only played over 100 games in two of his six seasons. He has slashed just .223/.288/.372 while dealing with injuries the last two years, but his 38-homer, 20-steal season in 2023 continues to tempt teams. A trade to SD might only be possible if the Friars do the unthinkable and send Fernando Tatis Jr. packing.

ESPN's Jeff Passan writes that "now is finally the time, it seems," for Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. to be traded. Robert had a career year in 2023, hitting .264/.315/.542 with an .857 OPS, career-high 38 home runs, 80 RBI, 90 runs scored, and 20 stolen bases in 145 games played. The White Sox hung onto him and were hoping to trade him at peak value in 2024, but he once again struggled to stay healthy and played in only 100 games. The 28-year-old Cuban has hit a combined 28 homers the last two years, and the combination of his last two down seasons and a hefty salary will limit the return for the Pale Hose on any potential deal. Robert is still in the 90th percentile or better for sprint speed, defensive range, and bat speed, but he's been injured and unlucky the last two years. Passan lists the Giants, Phillies, Mets, and Reds as potential landing spots for Robert if he's finally dealt.

As expected, the Chicago White Sox picked up the $20 million option for the 2026 season on outfielder Luis Robert Jr. on Tuesday, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN. The White Sox also have another $20 million club option on Robert for the 2027 campaign. The 28-year-old Cuban outfielder has been a name thrown around in trade rumors for over a year, but the Pale Hose have held onto him even though he continues to miss valuable time due to injuries. He played in 110 games in 2025 and hit just .223/.297/.364 with a .661 OPS, 14 home runs, 53 RBI, and 52 runs scored, but he also stole a career-high 33 bases in 431 plate appearances. Robert also showed his upside in the second half by hitting just under .300. Fantasy managers are wondering if Robert can ever replicate his 38-homer, 80-RBI, 20-steal season from 2023. Robert has the skills to do so, but his health is a big question mark.

Injured White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hamstring) is "probably running out of time" to return from a Grade 2 left-hamstring strain this season, manager Will Venable admitted on Wednesday. Robert has already missed two weeks since going on the IL on Aug. 27, and he hasn't recovered quickly enough for the team to believe he'll make it back by the end of September. The oft-injured 28-year-old has played in 110 games - the second-highest total of his career - and hit a lackluster .223/.297/.364 with 14 homers, 53 RBI, 52 runs, and a personal-best 33 steals over 431 plate appearances this season. The White Sox will have to decide in the offseason whether to pick up Robert's $20 million option for 2026 or buy him out for $2 million. General manager Chris Getz said earlier this summer that the team is "committed to Luis," so it appears likely that the former All-Star will stay put.

Chicago White Sox general manager Chris Getz said that outfilder Luis Robert Jr. (hamstring) suffered a Grade 2 hamsting strain and conceded that it's "possible he's done for the year." "We're committed to Luis," Getz said when asked how it affects the team's decision for his $20 million option for next season. With less than five weeks remaining in another lost season for the White Sox, it doesn't make sense to bring back the oft-injured Cuban outfielder. The 28-year-old has been better in the second half of the season, hitting just under .300, but overall he will finishe with an underwhelming .223/.297/.364 slash line if he doesn't return in 2025. Robert added 14 home runs, 53 RBI, 52 runs scored and 33 stolen bases in 382 at-bats and remains useful in all fantasy leagues because of his power/speed combination, but fantasy managers probably won't take him too seriously unless he's in a different uniform.
