White Sox Minor Keys: July 21, 2021

Luis Robert is officially back in action.

Sure, it's in Winston-Salem, and he was lifted for a pinch runner in the fifth inning after singling in his third plate appearance of the night, but it's action nevertheless.

Robert flied out twice to center field before dropping this shanked shot into right field, finishing his first night back at a ballpark 1-for-3.

In other significant news, Micker Adolfo also broke through the Birmingham wall to warrant a promotion to Charlotte, but I'll be covering that in a separate post.
