Luis Robert Jr. returns to White Sox lineup after missing 2 games

CHICAGO -- Luis Robert Jr. is back in the lineup for the Chicago White Sox after missing two games because of adductor soreness.

Robert was the designated hitter for Sunday's series finale against the crosstown Cubs, batting seventh. The center fielder wasn't part of the team's original lineup.

"The initial evaluation, he came in feeling better but still not in a spot where he could get out there in center field," manager Will Venable said. "We wanted to keep him plugged in and give him the opportunity to run around more, and he did.
