Luis Robert Jr. left a game after feeling left hamstring pain while running to first base and was later diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain. He was removed in the fourth inning and placed on the 10-day injured list. The general manager noted that a Grade 2 strain typically requires several weeks of recovery and could prevent a return before the season ends. Robert expressed surprise at the severity, hoped to play again in 2025, and had been performing much better in the second half prior to the injury.
"At first, yes, I knew that it was a little worse than before but I wasn't expecting it to be like this bad," Robert said through an interpreter Friday at Rate Field. "I thought maybe 10 days, something like that. But definitely not something like this."
"We don't know precisely, at this point of the year, time is not necessarily a friend with players returning," Getz said. "So there is a chance that perhaps he doesn't make it back by the end of the year. Our focus at this point is addressing the hamstring."
"It's no secret my first half was a bad one, but in the second half, everything was going my way," Robert said. "I was feeling good in the outfield. I was feeling good at the plate. My body was feeling good."
