Luis Robert News: Back in action Monday

Robert (forearm) will start in center field and bat sixth in Monday's game versus the Phillies.

Robert was struck on the right forearm by a pitch in the ninth inning of Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Cubs, but X-rays came back clean, and he's made enough progress to re-enter the lineup a day later. The 27-year-old has finally heated up at the plate with a .926 OPS in July and is good bet to be traded to a contender ahead of Thursday's deadline.
