Luis Robert Jr. Scratched with Thumb Soreness
Luis Robert Jr. (thumb) was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to thumb soreness. Instead, the White Sox will give Michael Taylor the starting nod in center field. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Robert's status leading up to their next game on Tuesday evening against the St. Louis Cardinals. Over his last eight games, Robert has begun to find his footing at the plate, posting a .300/.364/.467 slash line with two doubles, one home run, and eight RBI. Prior to this recent surge, Robert posted a low .177/.266/.286 line with six doubles and five home runs through his first 55 games of the campaign. Robert has generated a solid 11.8% barrel rate, which suggests he should continue to see his power numbers increase throughout the summer. This afternoon, the White Sox are a viable target in DFS facing Texas right-hander Kumar Rocker.
