Overview
- The White Sox placed Robert on the 10-day injured list retroactive to June 26, prompting a corresponding roster move before Tuesday’s series opener in Los Angeles.
- The 27-year-old center fielder suffered a strained left hamstring on June 25 while chasing a fly ball against the Diamondbacks.
- Robert is slashing .185/.270/.313 with eight home runs and 32 RBIs in 73 games, marking the worst offensive performance of his career following a down 2024.
- He leads the American League with 22 stolen bases and continues to provide high defensive value in center field, but those strengths depend on his lower-body health.
- Under team control through 2025 with club options for 2026 and 2027, Robert remains a key trade asset whose market appeal has dimmed with his slump and injury.
