The just lately acquired outfielder was positioned on the 10-day injured listing as a result of left hamstring discomfort, retroactive to Sept. 5, the Orioles introduced on Sunday.
Robert Jr. joined Baltimore in late August after he was claimed off waivers from the New York Mets. The one-time all-star has made 11 at-bats by three video games since becoming a member of the Orioles, slashing .182/.250/.545 with two hits, one residence run and three RBIs.
For the season, Robert Jr. is slashing .221/.300/.407 with 45 hits, 11 homers and 26 RBIs by 204 at-bats.
The 29-year-old spent the primary six seasons of his profession with the Chicago White Sox earlier than he was traded to the Mets forward of the season.
Robert Jr.’s absence will come as a blow to the skidding Orioles, who’re within the midst of a wild-card chase. Baltimore entered Sunday — having misplaced 5 consecutive outings — three video games again of their AL East-rival Toronto Blue Jays for the ultimate wild-card spot.
