Luis Robert Jr. Injured Friday Night

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (leg) pulled up in clear pain after a one-out double to the left-field corner in Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals and was pulled from the contest. Robert was favoring his right leg after rounding first base in the ninth inning. Although we don't know the specifics of the injury just yet, it didn't look good for a player with a lengthy history of injuries. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if this ends up being an injured-list situation for Robert. He went 1-for-4 with the double in the eventual 2-1 loss. With Eloy Jimenez (groin) landing on the IL on Friday, the struggling White Sox could be down two of their best hitters for the foreseeable future. Robbie Grossman was called up from the minors on Friday, and veteran Kevin Pillar could be the next to benefit from extra playing time, depending on the severity of Robert's injury.UPDATE: Manager Pedro Grifol said after the game that Robert is dealing with a right hip-flexor injury.

John Brebbia Exits Friday's Game With Calf Soreness

Chicago White Sox relief pitcherJohn Brebbia(calf) exited early in the sixth inning of the White Sox 2-1 loss against the Kansas City Royals. Brebbia tweaked his calf fielding a ball and was removed shortly after. The 33-year-old injured his calf during spring training. Brebbia had gotten off to a great start with the White Sox, giving up just one hit in four appearances, and had yet to give up a run. There's no word on whether the right-hander will need to miss any time, and he should be considered day-to-day. Brebbia has been used in high-leverage situations and, even when healthy, is mainly an option in leagues that reward saves and holds.

Yusei Kikuchi Fans Seven In Friday's Win

Toronto Blue Jays left-handerYusei Kikuchistruck out seven in 5 1/3 innings in Friday's shutout win against the New York Yankees. Though Kikuchi did not give up a run in his outing,Yimi Garciawas credited with the win, with the Blue Jays getting their first run in the 7th inning. It was a good bounceback for Kikuchi after a decent but iffy start against Tampa Bay. The lefty lowered his ERA to 2.79 with a 1.55 WHIP. He'll look to improve even more on those numbers in his next start at home against the Seattle Mariners.
