White Sox Place Luis Robert Jr. on IL With Grade 2 Hamstring Strain, Late-Season Return Uncertain

GM Chris Getz described a Grade 2 strain, putting a late-season return in doubt as the club prioritizes rehab.

Overview

  • Chicago placed the center fielder on the 10-day injured list after he exited Tuesday’s game against the Royals with left hamstring soreness.
  • Getz said the Grade 2 diagnosis typically requires several weeks of recovery and acknowledged Robert may not make it back this year.
  • Outfielder Will Robertson was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte to fill the open roster spot.
  • This is Robert’s second left hamstring IL stint in about two months, adding to a lengthy injury history reported as seven IL placements since mid-2021.
  • Robert is batting .223 with 14 home runs in 110 games but has surged since the All-Star break (.298/.352), as the Sox weigh his rehab and future with club options remaining on his contract.
