ARLINGTON, Texas -- Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. was a late scratch Sunday at the Texas Rangers due to right thumb soreness. He was due to bat seventh against the Rangers. The White Sox moved first baseman Ryan Noda up one place in the batting order and put Michael A. Taylor, the replacement in center, in the eighth spot.

Here are five players I’m worried about. In a perfect world, Luis Robert Jr. would be crushing the ball for a young, rebuilding Chicago White Sox team that would have the best position player available at this year’s trade deadline. But this isn’t a perfect world, and pretty much the exact opposite has happened for Robert and the White Sox.
