Although the Chicago White Sox season can be described as mediocre, Cuban Luis Robert Jr. demonstrates his high level in Major League Baseball (MLB) every day, and this Wednesday he hit his 12th home run in a season marked by absences due to injury.
The center fielder was away from daily play for several weeks due to a strain in his right hip flexor. However, without surpassing last year's statistics, he remains one of the few standout points for the franchise, which has amassed nine straight losses and the worst record (27-77) in the MLB.
The night before, despite his team's setback against the Texas Rangers (2-10), "La Pantera" sent the ball into orbit against the pitching of the current World Series champions.
At this very moment, the player born in Ciego de Ávila is averaging .227, with 24 RBIs and a .775 OPS, according to ESPN statistics.
In fact, in recent weeks, there has been much talk about the possibility of being traded to another team. However, the move has not happened, and the Cuban, at 26 years old, seems destined to spend another season without making it to the playoffs.
It is worth noting that in the mentioned game, his fellow countryman Adolis García supported the Rangers' cause by getting three hits in five at-bats, in addition to driving in two teammates and scoring a couple of times.
