Luis Robert Jr. back in White Sox lineup after finger injury

CHICAGO -- White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is back in the starting lineup after being sidelined by a sprained right pinky finger.

Robert got hurt on a slide into third base during Wednesday's 9-2 victory over the New York Yankees. He served as a pinch runner in the 10th inning of Friday night's 7-6 loss to Milwaukee, but Tuesday's game at Wrigley Field against the crosstown Cubs was his first start since the injury.

The All-Star slugger said he isn't 100 percent, but he thinks he can play.

"I said it before, my goal this year is to play as many games as I can," Robert said through a translator.
