Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right hip flexor strain. The White Sox recalled infielder Lenyn Sosa from Triple-A as a result. Robert posted a .214/.241/.500 stat line with one stolen base over the opening week that was highlighted by a two-home run game against the Detroit Tigers on March 30. 26-year-old Dominic Fletcher will start in center field for Robert today as the White Sox continue their four-game set against the Kansas City Royals. Expect Fletcher to share time with Kevin Pillar in center field and potentially Robbie Grossman as well.

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.
