White Sox center fielder Luis Robert, who hasn’t started a game on the team’s current homestand due to a sore left wrist, went home Thursday morning before the team’s game against the Royals for the birth of his child.
Acting manager Miguel Cairo was hopeful Robert would return to the team this weekend when the Sox host the Twins at Guaranteed Rate Field. The team entered Thursday’s game in third place in the American League Central, five games behind the Guardians and 31⁄2 games behind the Twins.
