2024 Fantasy Outlook
Robert missed nearly half of the White Sox's games across the 2021-22 seasons due to injuries and finished the 2023 campaign on the injured list with a sprained MCL, but prior to that injury he played in 145 games, easily crushing his previous career high of 98. The outfielder was insanely productive with 38 homers, 20 steals and a .264/.315/.542 slash line, which was supported by a 15.2 percent barrel rate that ranked 11th in MLB. The campaign was a resounding success from both a durability and production standpoint -- especially considering Chicago's otherwise anemic offense -- but a 10-point increase in his strikeout rate (to 29.2 percent) is worth keeping an eye on. Robert still carries some minor durability questions since a single healthy season isn't enough to fully shed those concerns, but he'll jump up draft boards after he showcased his full potential as a hitter during a healthy 2023 campaign.

Could return in mid-May
White Sox GM Chris Getz said Friday that Robert (hip) could be back from the injured list in mid-May, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old was given a six-week recovery timeline after he landed on the shelf April 6 with a Grade 2 right hip flexor strain, and it appears he may be slightly ahead of schedule. Veterans Tommy Pham and Rafael Ortega had their contracts selected by Chicago on Friday and should see most of the action in center field until Robert can return from the injured list.

Stat Review
How does Luis Robert compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chicago open to trade offers
Rival executives tell Jon Heyman of the New York Post that the White Sox are listening to trade proposals on all of their players, including Robert.
ANALYSIS
Heyman puts it at only a 10 percent chance Robert, who finished the 2023 season on the shelf with a minor knee injury, actually gets dealt this winter -- Dylan Cease is listed at 60 percent and Eloy Jimenez at 50 percent -- but maybe some organization will step up and blow the Pale Hose away with a hefty package of young talent. Robert, 26, posted an .857 OPS with 38 home runs, 80 RBI, 20 stolen bases and 90 runs scored over 145 games in 2023 and graded very well defensively in center field. He's locked into a fairly team-friendly contract through 2025 and carries $20 million club options for both 2026 and 2027.

2019
2018
Robert's durability issues subsist after he was able to play in only 98 games, albeit a new personal high. He dealt with a groin issue, COVID-19, lightheadedness/blurred vision, a sprained wrist and a bruised hand. Through it all, Robert lowered his strikeout rate to a career-best 19.2%, but his average exit velocity dropped, and he hit more groundballs. The result was a drop in both power and batting average though Robert's running picked up a tad. With so many injuries over his first three seasons, it's impossible to gauge Robert's true skill level, other than to say it has the potential to be elite. Nothing in his litany of injuries appears to be chronic, so there is hope Robert can shake the health bug and develop. The temptation of a healthy season showing off plus power and speed is keeping Robert as a top-12 outfielder in early drafts. Giving in is a matter of risk management with such a huge reward.
