Luis Robert Jr. was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain after leaving Tuesday night's 5-4 loss to Kansas City because of hamstring soreness. The White Sox recalled outfielder Will Robertson from Triple-A Charlotte. The 28-year-old batted .190 with nine homers, 35 RBIs and 93 strikeouts in his first 79 games and was believed to be on the trade market before the deadline, but the White Sox kept him. He has hit .298 (34-for-114) with five homers and 18 RBIs in his last 31 games since the All-Star break. Robert, a 2023 All-Star, has 102 homers and 102 steals in 577 career games, joining Minnie Miñoso, Ray Durham and Alexei Ramírez as the only franchise players to reach at least 100 homers and 100 steals.
