Chicago White Sox slugger Luis Robert Jr. was being evaluated after he was hit by a pitch in his return to the lineup on Sunday after missing two games because of right adductor tightness. Robert went 0 for 3 while serving as the team's designated hitter in a 5-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs.

Phillies starter Cristopher Sánchez had given up just six runs in his last 44 1/3 innings when he took the mound at Rate Field on Monday night. He had allowed only four runs over four starts in the entire month of July.
