Luis Robert Jr. was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring tweak suffered while running out a grounder. The injury occurred during the second inning of a 5-4 loss to the Royals. Robert previously pulled the same hamstring in late June while tracking a fly ball, which cost him playing time and affected trade discussions. The White Sox were unable to secure the desired prospect return at the deadline. Robert is slashing .223/.297/.364 with 14 home runs, 52 RBI and 33 stolen bases in 110 games. The team signaled plans to pick up his $20 million option and recalled outfielder Will Robertson from Triple-A Charlotte to the active roster.
The White Sox put star center fielder Luis Robert Jr. on the 10-day injured list Wedneday before their series finale against Kansas City. Robert tweaked his left hamstring while running out a grounder in the second inning of Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Royals. He pulled the same hamstring in late June while tracking down a fly ball, which cost him valuable playing time as general manager Chris Getz considered dealing Robert at the trade deadline.
Getz couldn't land the prospect haul he wanted for the speedy former Gold Glover who has fallen far short of the franchise cornerstone expectations he arrived to on the South Side. Robert is hitting.223/.297/.364 in 110 games this year with 14 home runs, 52 RBI and 33 stolen bases. The general manager has signaled the Sox will pick up the $20 million option to keep Robert on the Sox for another season.
