Robert missed the weekend series against the Milwaukee Brewers with a sprained right pinkie finger, with the exception of pinch running on Friday.[Don't miss] With 30+ home runs and doubles, Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. keeps building on career highsRobert didn’t see any changes with wearing the two mitts, with one exception, joking he’d have to figure out how to take off his helmet.
He showed no ill-effect Tuesday, also testing out the two mitts after reaching base on a single in the first. “As as I can have a good grip of the bat and I can swing the bat well, it’s going to be OK,” Robert said after the game.“It was just the right thing to do not to push this thing and all of a sudden turn it into a two-week stint as opposed to three, four days,” Grifol said. “He’s going to go out there, he’s going to feel it a little bit, he won’t be 100%. But I’m in agreement with him, I think the adrenaline, playing here, the pain will subside a little bit.
