Luis Robert Jr. Delays Return After Practice Injury

Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. has missed three straight games while enduring his worst season, batting just .177 with decreased power and confidence. Originally, Robert was given a two-day mental break to adjust his approach and was set to return Thursday, but a minor head injury during practice delayed his return to Friday. Manager Will Venable confirmed Robert showed no signs of concussion and characterized the absence as precautionary. Michael Taylor has taken over center field duties during Robert's time away. Both Robert and Venable agreed that a temporary break from game action was needed, and the team remains supportive as he works to recover his form. The White Sox hope the time off and focused adjustments will help Robert return to his peak performance.
