White Sox fans were not happy with Luis Robert following Saturday’s loss against the Rays. Chicago’s star outfielder was removed from the game ahead of the top of the third inning, though it wasn’t due to an injury.
During Robert’s at-bat in the first inning, the 25-year-old hit a soft groundball back toward the mound. Rather than hustle out what could have been an infield single, Robert jogged to first base, which enabled a weak throw from Tampa Bay’s Calvin Faucher to beat him to the bag.
Robert was booed by fans at Guaranteed Rate Field, and manager Pedro Grifol removed him from the game ahead of his next at-bat, replacing him with Oscar Colas.
