White Sox place David Robertson on bereavment
The Chicago White Sox placed reliever David Robertson on the bereavement list.
Robertson will be away from the club for three to seven days following a death in the family. Nate Jones has been excellent in a setup role this season for the White Sox and should slide seamlessly into a fill-in closer role.
Robertson was excellent as Chicago's closer in 2015, posting a 2.27 xFIP and a 34.4 strikeout percentage -- which ranked eighth among relievers -- in 63 1/3 innings while tallying 34 saves. He has a 0.87 ERA and a 35.1 strikeout percentage and eight saves in 10 1/3 innings pitched this season. Our models currently project Robertson to record a 2.85 ERA with 31 saves in just over 66 innings pitched in 2016.
