Fegan also said the White Sox did not announce a root cause for these symptoms. Rick Hahn said it would be speculative to draw any connection between Roberts's symptoms and him having COVID in May. His placement on the IL was prompted by the fact that he's been inactive too long to be ready before ten days. "All I can tell you is I'm not sitting on any information at this time or keeping from you anything," Hahn told reporters. "He's seeing the right people, getting the right test done." Tony La Russa wasn't able to provide much more information either. "On hold until he gets a checkup tomorrow," La Russa said. "We'll see. Fingers crossed, eyes crossed, legs crossed." This is a big blow for the White Sox as they try and make a second-half push towards the playoffs. Robert was riding a hot stretch before leaving the game last Friday. He was riding a streak of three consecutive three-hit games. Robert is slashing .301/.334/..461 in 74 games this season. He has been one of the White Sox's most productive run producers, with 54 RBIs and 48 runs scored. Robert's 12 home runs, 54 RBIs, and 11 stolen bases lead the White Sox. The fact that a seemingly healthy 24-year-old is experiencing lightheadedness for an extended period is cause for concern. Not knowing the root cause of it does not help matters. Adam Engel will likely get the bulk of the playing time in center field. Yasmani Grandal was activated off the IL, so nobody else needed to be called up in a corresponding move.
