Luis Robert Jr. Sidelined Again With Adductor Soreness, Available Off Bench for White Sox

White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. was out of the starting lineup for the second consecutive day on Saturday due to adductor soreness, an injury he sustained while stealing second on Wednesday. Manager Will Venable confirmed Robert was feeling better and looked good after running, but was not quite ready to start, though he remained available off the bench. Robert is currently on a nine-game hitting streak, batting .375 with two homers and nine RBIs during this stretch, but his overall season average is .206 with 10 homers and 41 RBIs in 84 games. With the trade deadline approaching, Robert, who also has 26 steals and solid defense, could be a trade candidate.
