White Sox Expect Luis Robert Jr. To Miss 6-8 Weeks
8 months agoThe Chicago White Sox's expectation is that outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hip) will miss six to eight weeks with a Grade 2 right hip-flexor strain that he suffered on Friday night in the game against the Kansas City Royals. A Grade 3 right hip-flexor strain kept Robert out for almost four months back in 2021. While this one isn't as severe, the 26-year-old oft-injured outfielder is going to miss extended time nevertheless. With Eloy Jimenez (groin) also on the injured list for the 1-8 White Sox, it ensures that Dominic Fletcher and Gavin Sheets will continue to see regular at-bats for the Pale Hose. Meanwhile, veterans Kevin Pillar and Robbie Grossman will see extra playing time in Chicago's outfield moving forward. Despite Robert's long-term injury, he should be stashed in an IL spot in most fantasy leagues.
