White Sox fans were thrilled to hear GM Chris Getz's update on injured center fielder Luis Robert Jr. According to MLB.com’s Injury Tracker, Robert could be back in Chicago's lineup by mid-May. Getz mentioned Robert’s rehab progress as "really positive," with the player now running and hitting without issues. This news is a relief for White Sox supporters, considering Robert's injury was initially thought to keep him out for longer, even possibly the entire first half of the season.
Robert's potential return in just two weeks is a boon for the team, which has been relying on Tommy Pham in center field in his absence. Despite Robert's modest stats before his injury, he's expected to bolster the outfield mix upon his return. Meanwhile, in other American League news, Yankees third baseman Jon Berti is set to begin a rehab assignment after being sidelined due to a left groin strain. His absence has allowed Oswaldo Cabrera to step up, demonstrating solid performance in his place. Additionally, the Angels received good news regarding slugger Sano's knee soreness, as an MRI revealed inflammation but no serious injury, allowing him to remain day-to-day rather than landing on the injured list.
