Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa told the media that star outfielder Luis Robert is dealing with leg soreness. He was replaced before the conclusion of Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, though La Russa admits that "he weighed keeping him in for another at-bat," according to James Fegan of The Athletic. As of now, Robert is expected to play on Thursday. (James Fegan on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Robert is off to a great start this season, slashing .300/.332/.430 with seven homers, 36 RBI, eight walks, and 42 strikeouts through 53 games. He has also swiped 11 bags on 12 attempts. The 24-year-old ranks in the 91st percentile in xBA (.304) and 97th percentile in maximum exit velocity (114.8 mph). He should be rostered in all fantasy leagues.
