Luis Robert Jr. was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain after leaving Tuesday night's 5-4 loss to Kansas City due to hamstring soreness. The White Sox recalled outfielder Will Robertson from Triple-A Charlotte before the series finale against the Royals. Robert batted .190 with nine homers, 35 RBIs and 93 strikeouts in his first 79 games but improved after the All-Star break, hitting .298 (34-for-114) with five homers and 18 RBIs in his last 31 games. He was thought to be available before the trade deadline, but the team retained him. Robert is a 2023 All-Star with 102 homers and 102 steals in 577 career games, joining Minnie Miñoso, Ray Durham and Alexei Ramírez as the only franchise players with at least 100 homers and 100 steals.
