Luis Robert Jr. Returns to Action with the White Sox
The Chicago White Sox have activated outfielder Luis Robert Jr. from the 10-day injured list, after recovering from a hamstring injury.
Robert, 27 years old, has had a challenging season, recording career lows in batting average (.185), on-base percentage (.270), and slugging percentage (.313). In 73 games, he has accumulated 16 extra-base hits (eight doubles, eight home runs) in 285 plate appearances.
Despite offensive difficulties, Robert has demonstrated his speed on the field, stealing 22 bases in 28 attempts, just one short of matching his personal record in steals.
To make room on the roster, the White Sox sent infielder Tristan Gray to Triple-A Charlotte. Gray had been called up before Monday night’s game, but did not play.
