The Pantera had left the game last Friday, July 15, against the Minnesota Twins due to dizziness during the course of the match. This event made him miss the remaining two challenges of the series against the Twins and after that came the break for the celebration of the All Star Game.

After several days of uncertainty about the status of the Cuban, on the afternoon of this Friday, July 22, exactly one week later, the Chicago team made a decision and assigned him to the disabled list, so he will be missing a little more of a week of competition. The decision not to announce anything until today is presumed to be a last-minute decision in case Robert could recover and be ready for tonight’s challenge against the Cleveland Guardians.

The insider of the White Sox, James Fegan, offered details about the decision of the Windy City franchise, adding that the Cuban outfielder had not fully overcome the symptoms of dizziness and blurred vision. In addition, he stressed that despite speculation there is nothing to show that this condition is related to the aftermath of Covid 19 presented by Robert last May.

This will be an extremely sensitive loss for those from Chicago who will have to play several games without one of their main pieces. Luis Robert in the current season exhibits an excellent offensive line of .301/.334/.461 with 92 hits, 25 extra-base hits, 12 home runs, 48 ​​runs scored, 54 RBIs, 11 stolen bases and an OPS of .795.
