Luis Robert Jr. returned to Chicago on Friday night to face the White Sox for the first time since being traded to the Mets in the offseason. Robert spent six seasons with the White Sox before the move, per Yahoo Sports.
The Mets opened their road trip against the first-place White Sox, with the White Sox leading their division. Friday's game was delayed due to impending weather, according to the White Sox announcement.
Reflecting on his time in Chicago, Robert called it "a beautiful journey," per ESPN. Yahoo Sports reported that the outfielder has endured another injury-riddled season in 2026.
