Luis Robert Jr. is placed on the 15-day injured list due to a hamstring injury, prompting the White Sox to call up Brooks Baldwin. Baldwin, primarily an infielder, has spent time in the outfield this season but has not produced at the Major League level. He dominated in the minors, posting a .368 batting average with 11 home runs. Meanwhile, Jared Shuster is on a rehab assignment after struggling with an 8.04 ERA. There are concerns about Shuster's potential return to the active roster.
Baldwin has not produced at the Major League level this year, but he has dominated in the minor leagues and made a strong case to get another chance at regular at-bats.
In 114 at-bats with the Charlotte Knights, Brooks Baldwin is batting .368 with 11 home runs and an OPS of 1.162.
There has been a lot of speculation that the White Sox have been prepping Baldwin in the minor leagues to take over for Luis Robert Jr. once he is moved at the trade deadline.
With how he has pitched the season, White Sox fans probably didn't miss Shuster all that much. My preference would be for him to remain in the minor leagues once he is done with his rehab.
