White Sox announce no surgery for Robert
Posted May 07, 2021 1:00 am
The White Sox announced center fielder Luis Robert will not require surgery as part of the recovery and healing process for the Grade 3 strain of his right hip flexor.
Robert was injured Sunday at Guaranteed Rate Field running to first base on an infield single.
Following consultations with a number of specialists, the Sox said rest and rehabilitation was determined to be the best course of action for a full recovery.
Robert is expected to miss 12-16 weeks.
"My understanding in being around different injuries over the years, if you can avoid surgery that's a plus," manager Tony La Russa said. "So I think it is a real healthy sign for Luis. And what's good for Luis is good for us, but I do believe that's good news."
