Luis Robert Jr. Returns to White Sox Lineup

The Chicago White Sox have reinstated 27-year-old outfielder Luis Robert Jr. from the 10-day injured list following a brief absence due to a left hamstring strain, with the return occurring after successful running workouts and no rehab assignment. Robert has struggled offensively this season, posting career lows with a .185 batting average, .270 on-base percentage, and .313 slugging percentage across 285 plate appearances. Nevertheless, he remains a significant base-stealing threat with 22 steals, just one short of his career high. The team optioned infielder Tristan Gray back to Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Robert's return comes amid trade speculation ahead of the July 31 deadline, as the White Sox hope his health and performance will enhance his market value. His presence is expected to strengthen the outfield defense and team speed during the ongoing home stand.
