Overview

  • Robert left Tuesday’s game against the Royals after one at-bat with left hamstring soreness before being placed on the injured list Wednesday.
  • Chicago recalled outfielder Will Robertson from Triple-A Charlotte to take Robert’s roster spot.
  • The injury is Robert’s second left-hamstring issue of the season after a 10-day IL stint from June 29 to July 8.
  • Robert is batting .223 with 14 home runs and 53 RBIs in 110 games, but he posted a .298 average and .352 on-base percentage after the All-Star break.
  • Getz reiterated the club’s belief in Robert’s future and noted the $20 million team options for 2026 and 2027, acknowledging late-season timing could keep him out.
