Grifol said he would not have information about
the extent of the injury until Robert has additional tests done
on Saturday morning. Robert had a torn right hip flexor in 2021
and missed about half of that season.
Robert, who is in his fifth season with the White Sox, hit a
ninth-inning double to left field with one out and nobody on
base. He appeared to sustain the injury as he rounded first base
and limped noticeably going into second base.
Braden Shewmake pinch-ran for Robert, who represented the tying
run, and Kevin Pillar followed with a walk against pitcher Will
Smith. However, James McArthur came on to get Andrew Vaughn to
ground into a game-ending double play.
Robert finished the game 1-for-4. He is coming off his first
All-Star season, when he hit 38 home runs, drove in 80 runs and
stole 20 bases.
In 2020, Robert signed a six-year, $50 million contract. The
team has options for the 2026 and 2027 seasons, which would
raise the value of the deal to $88 million.
