White Sox fans are understandably fed up with guys going down, as the team has been devastated by injuries in the early goings of the season. The Sox lost centerfielder Luis Robert earlier this week to a mild groin strain. Josh Harrison has also been sitting with back spasms. In addition to those two, the Sox have seven players on the Injured list, including key figures like Lucas Giolito, Joe Kelly, Lance Lynn and Yoán Moncada.
