The Chicago White Sox center fielder has been medically cleared to increase his level of baseball activities at the team’s complex in Glendale, Ariz., the Sox announced Tuesday.
This step in the rehabilitation process is estimated to take about four weeks, the team said in a release. After that, Robert could be cleared for a rehab assignment with a minor-league affiliate.
Robert suffered the injury May 2 against the Cleveland Indians at Guaranteed Rate Field when he raced to first for an infield hit. He fell after crossing the bag and had to be helped off the field.
