The move, which has not been announced by either team, was first reported by @JeffreyCole2525 and confirmed by James Fegan of SoxMachine. Toronto designated Robertson for assignment over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Chicago already has an opening on the 40-man roster after outrighting\u00a0<strong>Vinny Capra<\/strong>. They\u2019ll use the spot to take a flier on Robertson, a 27-year-old with three major league games under his belt. The Jays promoted the lefty-hitting outfielder in the middle of June. He was optioned back to Triple-A a little over a week later and DFA last week when <strong>Ryan Burr<\/strong> returned from the 60-day injured list.<\/p>\n<p>A Creighton product, Robertson was Toronto\u2019s fourth-round pick in 2019. He has never been a huge prospect, but he\u2019s hitting well in his second season at the Triple-A level. Robertson has connected on 14 homers with a .292\/.403\/.578 slash line in 62 minor league games this year. He has taken walks at a massive 15.5% clip while striking out around a quarter of the time. The Jays have a fairly deep outfield and didn\u2019t give Robertson an opportunity to see how much of that Triple-A production he could carry over against big league pitching. He\u00a0has a bit of center field experience but fits better in a corner.<\/p>\n<p>The White Sox could look to trade <strong>Luis Robert Jr.<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Andrew Benintendi<\/strong> and <strong>Mike Tauchman <\/strong>this month. Backup outfielders <strong>Austin Slater<\/strong> and <strong>Michael A. Taylor<\/strong> could also be traded or let go. They should be able to find a taker for Tauchman, who has taken the starting right field job behind a .297\/.379\/.459 showing. Robertson might begin his organizational tenure on optional assignment to Triple-A Charlotte but should be in line for decent playing time after the deadline.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>View Comments (4)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White Sox are acquiring rookie outfielder Will Robertson from Toronto.
