Chicago White Sox CF Luis Robert out 12-16 weeks with right hip flexor tear

CHICAGO -- Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert won't resume baseball activities for 12 to 16 weeks while he recovers from a complete tear of his right hip flexor, general manager Rick Hahn announced on Monday afternoon.

Robert, 23, injured himself on the bases in the first inning of Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Indians. He limped off the field with the help of the training staff and will be examined further to determine a course of recovery.

"Those options include surgical repair if in fact the tear has affected the tendon's attachment to the bone," Hahn said.
