White Sox reveal why Luis Robert Jr. exited game vs. Orioles

The 27-year-old Robert, a 2023 All-Star and Silver Slugger Award winner, made a nice leaping catch at the wall in the bottom of the fifth inning to rob Baltimore’s Cedric Mullins of extra bases. He then went on to take an at-bat in the top of the sixth inning before exiting for good, so it is unclear when exactly Robert was hurt.

Rober has a history when it comes to injuries. He has only reached the 100-game mark in one career season thus far and already sat out for two months earlier this year with a hip issue. Robert has also fallen victim to some stranger injuries in the past.

As for the White Sox, they “improved” to 32-109 with Wednesday’s victory in what has truly been a season from Hades for them. Chicago has now had separate losing streaks of 21, 14 and 12 games this year, and they are still on pace for a record for the worst single-season winning percentage in the modern era (set by the 36-117 Philadelphia Athletics in 1916). The White Sox’s play on the field has bordered on slapstick comedy at times, and now they can add another injury issue with Robert to their remarkably long list of woes.
