White Sox infielder Josh Rojas is dealing with a hairline fracture in his right big toe, hoping to return to play in a few days. While engaging in light physical activities to maintain fitness, he expressed the importance of full readiness, noting that he doesn't want to return until he can perform without restrictions. The injury, which occurred during a game, has led Rojas to seek better protective cleats. Meanwhile, outfielders Andrew Benintendi and Austin Slater have made returns to the lineup, with Benintendi preparing to meet necessary at-bats before the season opener.
Rojas emphasizes, 'I don't want to get on the field until I feel like I don't have to baby it. So we're getting there.'
Discussing his injury, Rojas explained, 'Cleats don't offer much protection, they're light. Ordered some new ones immediately, so we made that adjustment.'
Rojas highlights the importance of his fitness, stating, 'The biggest thing is keeping my body in shape so when I feel I'm ready I can go full speed.'
Benintendi expressed optimism about his return, stating, 'I'm planning on it. I said I was going to be there. Spoke it into existence.'
