With just over one month left in the season, there simply isn’t a ton of time for Robert to rest and recover from a pretty significant hamstring strain and still make it back to Chicago. Getz reiterated the front office’s commitment to the 28-year-old outfielder, seeming to confirm that they’re picking up his $20 million club option for 2026.

Robert was removed from Tuesday’s game with soreness in his left hamstring, and further evaluation revealed the strain. He’ll be out of action for at least a week and a half, but with the White Sox not even kind of in contention, there will be no rush to bring the 28-year-old outfielder back into action.

Robert will undergo further evaluation, according to a team statement. The 28-year-old center fielder went 0-for-1 at the dish, grounding out in his lone plate appearance, before being lifted for a defensive replacement in the fourth inning. There should be some clarity on his status prior to Wednesday’s series finale.

The dynamic 28-year-old outfielder singled in the second inning and scored as Miguel Vargas worked a bases-loaded walk. He then reached on a fielder’s choice in the third inning and swiped second base before being stranded there. Robert also pulverized a 427-foot (111.3 mph EV) solo shot off of Thomas Hatch in the eighth inning that provided a valuable insurance run. With his two-hit attack, Robert is now hitting .225/.301/.370 with 14 homers, 53 RBI and 33 stolen bases on the season.
