White Sox's Luis Robert Returns From Knee Injury Tuesday

Luis Robert Jr. is set to return to the Chicago White Sox starting lineup on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds after missing time due to right knee soreness. He will start in center field and bat cleanup, with Michael A. Taylor moving to right field. Robert missed two games but is expected to be back in action following the team's off day on Monday, with his knee issue considered minor by the White Sox coaching staff. Prior to his injury, Robert was slashing .186/.293/.326 with five home runs and 15 stolen bases, ranking second in MLB. Similarly, Miguel Vargas has been out of the lineup due to minor calf and ankle injuries but remains available and is expected to continue playing in a platoon role against left-handed pitchers. The White Sox are managing these minor injuries cautiously, giving both players rest while maintaining their availability for upcoming games.
