Slumping White Sox Bench Underperforming Star Luis Robert Jr. After Mental Mistake

The White Sox suffered a blowout 12-3 loss to the Rays after a disastrous seventh inning in which Tampa Bay scored 10 runs.
Manager Pedro Grifol benched center fielder Luis Robert Jr. after he failed to run out an infield ground ball at full speed.
Robert says he has been dealing with an unspecified injury but Grifol cited a "mental lapse."
The loss dropped the White Sox into a tie for last place in the AL Central with the Royals.
The move added to confusion surrounding a White Sox team mired in a 10-game losing streak with an underperforming offense and bullpen.
