Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox is struggling in the 2025 season with a .177 batting average and .553 OPS. Following a 1-for-20 slump since late May and a lack of homers since early May, he was benched to address his mechanics. A concerning incident occurred when he was struck in the head during batting practice, prompting White Sox manager Will Venable to keep him out of the lineup despite hopes for his return on Friday against the Kansas City Royals. The team contemplates his trade value this July.
Robert's performance got so bad that he was sent to the bench on Tuesday and Wednesday to correct his mechanics.
Robert is expected to be back in the lineup Friday for the opening game of a three game set against division rival Kansas City Royals.
