Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Thursday after sustaining a left hamstring strain during a game on Wednesday. Initially, the team believed he wouldn't require an IL stint, but subsequent evaluation led to the decision. Despite underperforming offensively this season, Robert remains a crucial asset due to his defensive skills and baserunning. The White Sox plan to make a corresponding roster move before facing the Los Angeles Angels next week, underscoring the challenges posed by Robert's absence.
"Progress must not have been made since Wednesday, as the White Sox eventually decided Robert needed a stint on the injured list."
"During his pregame media session on Friday and Saturday, Venable said they did not believe a stint on the injured list was necessary in that moment."
