White Sox Place Luis Robert Jr. on Injured List Amid Trade Rumors

News summary

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left hamstring strain, compounding an already disappointing 2025 season marked by a significant decline in offensive production. Despite his struggles at the plate, with a batting average around .185 and an OPS substantially below league average, Robert remains an elite defensive outfielder and base-stealing threat. The White Sox face a difficult decision regarding Robert's future, as he has $20 million club options for the 2026 and 2027 seasons, which the team may decline amid their rebuilding efforts. Trade rumors suggest a high likelihood of Robert being dealt if he recovers, with teams such as the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies showing interest, though his value is diminished due to injuries and poor recent performance. Robert’s contract status and defensive skills keep him as a potentially valuable asset, but acquiring teams would need to consider costly decisions regarding his salary and future options. The White Sox will also fill Robert's roster spot as they continue their season, which remains out of postseason contention.
