Robert Jr. was everywhere for the White Sox in this one. He was in the middle of multiple rallies, robbed a home run with a great catch in center field, and stole his league-leading 17th base of the season. It's been a season-plus of lackluster offensive numbers from Robert Jr., but he's hit three home runs, stolen 10 bases, and has an .803 OPS through his last 15 games.

Robert is hitting fourth tonight against lefty Andrew Abbott. Michael A. Taylor remains in the lineup as the right fielder, sending Joshua Palacios to the bench.

Robert (knee) is starting in center field and batting cleanup Tuesday against the Reds.
