Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. suffered a right hip flexor injury during Friday's 2-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals. The incident occurred in the ninth inning as Robert Jr. was rounding first base, leading to him limping between first and second before being walked off the field with team medical staff. Following the game, it was announced that Robert Jr. would be placed on the 10-day injured list, with infielder Lenyn Sosa being recalled from Class AAA Charlotte to fill the roster spot. This is not the first time Robert Jr. has faced such an injury; he previously injured his right hip flexor in 2021. The severity of the injury is still to be determined, as White Sox manager Pedro Grifol mentioned that Robert Jr. would undergo more scans to assess the damage. Additionally, reliever John Brebbia left the game with right calf soreness. Grifol indicated that Robert Jr.'s absence would extend beyond the initial 10-day period.
Grifol won’t speculate on how long Luis Robert Jr. will be out. It will be longer than 10 days, though.

Luis Robert Jr just laced a pitch to the left field wall, and as he turned the corner heading to 2nd, it looks as if he pulled his hamstring and limped the rest of the way to second base. He was just walked off the field with team medical staff. @WGNNews
Luis Robert is hurt. I’m done.
