The White Sox recently received some good news on the injury front, as GM told reporters (including Donovan Mitchell Jersey ) that the prognoses on injured hitters and arent quite as worrying as the club initially believed. Per Getz, Robert may be able to return from the that sent him to the injured list last week after just six weeks of rehab, while the club hopes Moncada can return from his in late July. The news is surely relieving for White Sox fans, as Robert was reportedly at risk of mi sing multiple months due to his injury while Moncada was given an initial timeline for return of three to six months. Getzs comments indicate that both players are on track to return at the earliest end of their projected timetables. The injuries are yet another blow to a White Sox club that has started the season with a 2-12 record and appears destined for a second consecutive 100-lo s season in 2024. While Chicago was never expected to be a serious postseason contender this season, Robert and Moncada were each shaping up to be rare bright spots for the club this year prior to their injuries. Robert is the face of the Sox franchise following the departures of and in recent months and appeared poised to build upon a 2023 campaign that saw him slash .264/.315/.542 in 145 games, while Moncada was off to his best start in years after struggling with injuries in recent seasons. Through 11 games this year, the 28 year old was hitting a solid .282/.364/.410 with strong strikeout (22.7%) and walk (11.3%) figures. Of course, its entirely po sible both players will be able to pick up from where they left off upon rejoining the club later in the season. In the meantime, the White Sox are relying on and in center field while gets the lions share of playing time at the hot corner. Sosa moving off the bench to take up third base and Fletcher shifting from right field to center has also opened the door for the likes of and to impact the clubs roster. More from around the AL Central: Twins shortstop with what was initially described as an oblique strain, but noted last night that Minnesota later recla sified as a mild right intercostal strain following the results of an MRI. While a timeline for Correas return to action is not yet known, Park suggests that once could be announced at some point this week. The recla sification of Correas injury provides some optimism that he could return to action fairly quickly, as that mild intercostal strains typically have a recovery time of two to three weeks. Even if the absence is a relatively short one, its an unfortunate turn of events for a Twins club that has already lost to injury on the left side of its infield. Correa had gotten off to a hot start this season, slashing a strong .306/.432/.444 through 11 games this season prior to hitting the injured list. The Tigers provided an ominous update on the status of right-hander yesterday, with relaying comments from club manager A.J. Hinch. According to Hinch, the Tigers are getting multiple opinions on the rightys arm after he reported tightne s in his forearm last week. To that end, Gipson-Long has returned to Detroit to meet with the teams doctors and will remain with the club while awaiting next steps. Gipson-Long was already on the injured list due to a groin strain, but an i sue with his right arm is far more concerning for the long term. A lengthy absence would be unfortunate for the Tigers, as Gipson-Long impre sed with a 2.70 ERA and 3.16 FIP in four starts down he stretch last season during his first big league cup of coffee.
