White Sox place Luis Robert Jr. on IL with knee sprain

The Chicago White Sox on Tuesday placed All-Star outfielder Luis Robert Jr. on the 10-day injured list with a mild MCL sprain in his left knee, ending his season with six games remaining.

Robert is expected to recover in two to four weeks, according to the White Sox. He injured the knee sliding while stealing second base in the first inning of Sunday's game at the Boston Red Sox. He then left in the second inning.

In corresponding moves, Chicago selected the contract of outfielder Tyler Naquin from Triple-A Charlotte and transferred right-hander Jimmy Lambert (right ankle) from the 15- to the 60-day IL.
