To address Luis Robert Jr.'s recent struggles at the plate, the Chicago White Sox will rest him for two games, allowing him to focus on swing adjustments. Manager Will Venable emphasized the importance of reducing performance pressure during this period. Robert's recent stats show a decline, batting .177 with 10 strikeouts in his last seven games. While he has been battling some knee soreness, it doesn't seem to be affecting his play. This decision comes as the White Sox are struggling in the standings, having lost seven of their last eight games.
"He'll be available, but not in the starting lineup, just to give (him) an opportunity to really dial in some of these adjustments without just feeling the pressure of having to go out there and perform."
"He is putting in a ton of work and working extremely hard all throughout the day to try and get this thing right. He agreed that it would be a good idea just to press pause on the games, just for a couple of days here."
