Luis Robert Jr. Injures his Hamstring on Wednesday
Luis Robert Jr. (hamstring) was pulled early from Wednesday's series finale against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks with left-hamstring tightness. Austin Slater pinch hit for Robert in the bottom of the first inning, so Robert must have tweaked his hamstring on defense in the top of the first frame. The White Sox should have more information on Robert's hamstring injury after the game or on Thursday, but it's not a good sign for a player with a history of lower-body injuries. The 27-year-old Cuban does have 22 stolen bases on the year, but he's also hitting .185 (46-for-249) with eight home runs, 32 RBI and 27 runs scored. He is one of the biggest names on the trade market this summer, but his hamstring injury could affect other teams' interest in him if it's serious. Michael Taylor moved to center to replace Robert on Wednesday and would be the starter there if Robert goes on the IL.
