Hey, White Sox fans, it's The Sox Talk Podcast, coming to win season, off season, all seasons, brought to you by WinTrust Community Bank, Humble White Sox. Checking, with three ATMs nationwide. For more information, go to their special White Sox webpage, www.W.W.Wintrust.com slash Sox. I hate to do this podcast, Ryan McGuffey and Chris Kampka, but we got injury news with some prospects. Eloy Jimenez out two weeks, abductor muscle, and Luis Robert, ligament sprain in his thumb. This is a bummer. We're here. We're here for you. Good news, bad news. We're here for you. We're going to talk you through this. We're going to work through this. This is your therapy session, White Sox fans.

The one of the concerns me is Robert. I just, we're starting to see it's already, I know it's a, it's a thumb, but it's a pattern. But it's the same thumb.

It is.

And honestly, you're trying to hit.

It's going to be weakened to begin with.

And I think he reagravated it going for a catch.

But that thing needs time to heal.

And the socks, we going for a catch.

But that thing needs time to heal.

And the socks were in this situation, or we want them to develop.

But this thing, I'm sure it was healed enough for him to go out and play again.

But it was always going to be compromised potentially.

Well, I think this is a message that says, okay, let's just take our time with this one, let it heal fully because there's too much potential here and we're going to get it right.

Yeah, but you want to see you get that.

I know, but you signed him last year at this time. Obviously, you never played in the system. This year there was so much excitement and then the thumb injury. So he doesn't play until like a couple of weeks ago. Has shown awesome signs. And now here we are again, basically out. I mean, he might be out for the year. He might be out for the year. He might be out for the year. Dane Dunning, probably out for the year. Yeah. And Robert could play in the Arizona Fall League. Yeah. That'll give him some at-bats there.

I'm just saying like.

And Winterball, maybe.

There are guys now you're starting to go, okay, this was a developmental year. And you can't do anything about injuries. This is why Rick always talks about. And Chris Gatz always talk about depth, depth, depth. but you're looking at guys here that have missed an entire year of, like going to miss the better part of a year in development.
