Luis Robert Jr.

White Sox placed OF Luis Robert Jr. on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 26, with a left hamstring strain.

With less than one hour remaining before first pitch on Sunday afternoon, Chicago has decided to send Robert to the injured list and extinguish any hope that he would potentially be ready for Tuesday’s series opener against the Dodgers. The 27-year-old center fielder has been battling a left hamstring issue recently and figures to miss at least a couple weeks, even if imaging only reveals a mild strain. The timing of the injury certainly complicates matters from a trade standpoint as Robert was expected to be one of the more high-profile names on the move at next month’s deadline.
