Eligibility
Luis Robert Jr. is at 80% running as he rehabs from a hip flexor strain.

Despite a valiant effort from Luis Robert Jr., who crushed two home runs and drove in four runs, the Chicago White Sox couldn't clinch the win against the Detroit Tigers, falling 7-6.
Fantasy Impact
Robert Jr.'s performance was a silver lining in an otherwise disappointing loss, showcasing his power and ability to drive in runs when it counts. The talented slugger should remain locked into lineups for fantasy managers in all formats.
Luis Robert Jr. is unlikely to be traded going into the 2024 season.
Fantasy Impact
White Sox GM Chris Getz previously stated that nobody was untouchable. And while that may technically still be true, it does seem like Robert would be the last player on the Sox to be traded. Getz said that he would have "a tough time seeing him wearing another uniform next year." The 26-year-old had a great season in 2023 with 38 HRs, 20 SBs, and a .857 OPS+ and should continue to be a fantasy star if he stays healthy.
