Overview

• Robert left Tuesday’s 5-4 loss to the Royals in the fourth inning with left hamstring soreness, and Michael Taylor replaced him in center field.
• Chicago recalled outfielder Will Robertson from Triple-A Charlotte to fill the roster spot; he debuted in the majors earlier this season with Toronto.
• This is Robert’s second left-hamstring IL stint in roughly two months following a June 29–July 8 absence for the same strain.
• The team did not provide a timetable for his return, and he has now been placed on the major-league injured list seven times since mid-2021.
• After a down overall season (.223 with 14 home runs and 53 RBIs in 110 games), Robert had improved after the All-Star break, and the team recently kept him through the deadline while weighing a reported $20 million club option.
