White Sox Minor League Update: June 7, 2017

Rick Hahn says Luis Robert will make pro debut “likely some time next week”

The Dominican Summer League’s White Sox affiliate is four games into its season, but Luis Robert has yet to take the field.

It shouldn’t be much longer, though. Rick Hahn told Scot Gregor that he’s due to take the field “likely some time next week.” The ramp-up makes sense considering the 19-year-old hasn’t played competitive baseball since last July.

"I know there's a tremendous amount of enthusiasm about this player and people want to see him play and see him out there in minor-league competition, but we're going to have to be patient with this because he hasn't played in almost a year now," Hahn said. "He has been training now quite frankly more to be a workout warrior than an everyday baseball player.

"We're going to take our time at our complex (in the Dominican Republic), get him back playing games regularly and then get him out there."
