Luis Robert Jr. out of White Sox lineup amid trade rumors
The post Luis Robert Jr. out of White Sox lineup amid trade rumors appeared first on ClutchPoints. The 2025 MLB Deadline is approaching fast, and there has yet to be any 'serious' rumor that leads to the White Sox trading Luis Robert Jr. There has been a lot of talk about where he could go, but the Chicago White Sox are clearly not in any rush to send him away. Less than a week remains until they run out of time. Teams are interested, but none have set themselves as a clear landing spot. The White Sox are set to host the Chicago Cubs for a 3-game series for a cross-town rivalry matchup. Ahead of the opening game, the Sox did not put Robert Jr. in the lineup. The reasoning for him not being in the lineup is because of a tight groin, an injury that has lingered for some time. Michael A. Taylor gets the start in center field. He has played all over the outfield and has been one of the best defensive outfielders in the league for some time. Taylor has 18 starts in center, 20 in right, and 19 in left. His name has not been rumored as a potential trade candidate, but he is a veteran who would give contenders a boost. If he stays in Chicago, he will likely finish the season as one of the starting outfielders, whether Robert Jr. is traded or not. Robert Jr. has 77 starts in center field this season and has not played a single inning in left or right field in his career. Robert Jr. is batting just .206 on the season with 10 homers and 41 RBIs. His .636 OPS is scary bad; however, he has 13 hits in July, including two homers and nine RBIs. He is batting .351 this month with a .982 OPS. He seems to now be picking up the pace a bit, knowing he could be playing for a contender in a few weeks.

White Sox crush Pirates 10-1 behind homers by Luis Robert Jr. and Edgar Quero
Luis Robert Jr. homered and drove in two runs, Michael A. Taylor added a bases-clearing double, and the Chicago White Sox breezed past the reeling Pittsburgh Pirates 10-1 on Friday night. Edgar Quero also homered for Chicago, taking Pirates starter Bailey Falter (6-5) deep in the first inning as the White Sox jumped on Pittsburgh early to win for just the 12th time in 48 road games this season. Andrew Benintendi and Colson Montgomery added two hits and drove in two runs apiece for Chicago. Jonathan Cannon (4-7) limited the Pirates to a run on five hits over seven innings to win his second consecutive decision. Cannon benefited from some excellent defense behind him, including a dazzling diving catch in left-center by Robert to rob Isiah Kiner-Falefa of extra bases in the bottom of the third. Oneil Cruz, who put on a staggering power display in the Home Run Derby in Atlanta on Monday night, had two hits—both groundball singles—and drove in Pittsburgh's only run. The Pirates have lost nine of 10 following a dominant six-game homestand in which they swept series against the New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals. The offense that flashed brightly during that brief run of success has reverted to form. Key moment: Falter had been excellent at PNC Park over his last nine starts, posting an ERA of 2.22 over that span. The White Sox surpassed that total in the first inning on their way to their second-biggest margin of victory this season. Key stat: Pittsburgh, which scored 34 runs during that six-game winning streak over the Mets and Cardinals, has scored 17 runs during its current 1-9 slide. Up next: Chicago's Adrian Hauser (5-2, 1.56 ERA) will look to win his fourth straight start on Saturday. Pittsburgh rookie Mike Burrows (1-3, 4.83) is winless in his last seven appearances (six starts).
