Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. will not participate in the MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night after he underwent an MRI in Seattle for a possible injury.
According to the White Sox, Robert began to feel tightness in his right calf during the first round of Monday’s Home Run Derby at T-Mobile Park.
Robert underwent an MRI in Seattle, and is listed as “day-to-day,” according to the White Sox.
As a result, he will not participate in Tuesday’s game, and will be reevaluated before the season resumes on Friday in Atlanta, the team said.
Robert has already set a career high in home runs with 26 in the first-half of the season, slashing .271/.330/.569 in 339 total at-bats.
He leads the White Sox in virtually every offensive category, including Wins Above Replacement with 4.1.
