The Philadelphia Phillies haven't been thought of as a trade favorite for Luis Robert Jr., but they certainly could use the White Sox star centerfielder. And one of the Phillies' pitchers, Tanner Banks, used to be Robert's teammate in Chicago.

After returning from a brief, two-game absence, Robert was hit with a pitch Sunday, adding another malady to the list in the run-up to the trade deadline.

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.
