Robertson is out of the lineup Monday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson drew his fifth consecutive start in Sunday afternoon's matchup against the Royals, but will head to the bench for the opener of a four-game set against the As. Cleveland manager Terry Francona will instead use an outfield composed of Michael Brantley (left), Bradley Zimmer (center) and Austin Jackson (right).

Robertson will start in right field and bat second Sunday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
With the Indians holding out Bradley Zimmer against Royals lefty Danny Duffy and Lonnie Chisenhall (concussion) still sidelined, Robertson will pick up his fifth consecutive start. Robertson has occupied a spot in the bottom third of the order in the previous four contests, but with normal No. 2 hitter Francisco Lindor also receiving Sunday off for rest, Indians manager Terry Francona will see what Robertson can do in a more prominent lineup spot.

Robertson was a late addition to the lineup Wednesday, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. He'll bat ninth and play right field.
EDGE Analysis
Lonnie Chisenhall (head) was a late scratch from Wednesday's contest, so Robertson will hop into action to fill his void. It's unclear how severe Chisenhall's ailment is, but if he's forced to miss extended time, Robertson seems like the main beneficiary for playing time in right field at this time.

Robertson was recalled from Triple-A Columbus and will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Twins, Zack Meisel of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Abraham Almonte receiving the day off with lefty Hector Santiago on the hill, Robertson will immediately get a look with the big club after going 7-for-20 at the dish in his four games with Columbus. The 31-year-old Robertson isn't expected to see regular action while he's with the Tribe, but will help fortify the team's outfield depth and offer another right-handed option off the bench.

Robertson (hamstring) is on the 7-day DL at Triple-A Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
He left a spring game in late March wth a hamstring injury, and the issue is still lingering. At 31 years old, the journeyman offers very little fantasy intrigue.

Robertson left Tuesday's game with an apparent hamstring injury, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson recorded his third hit of the day and it would have been a bases-clearing triple, but he pulled up on the basepaths. He then slammed his helmet in frustration, which suggests it could be a strain or perhaps worse. He wasn't in the running for an Opening Day roster spot, regardless.

Robertson was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
In order to make room for Friday's starting pitcher against the A's, Seattle DFA'd Robertson in a corresponding move. Robertson spent two weeks with the Mariners in July, going 5-for-19 from the plate during nine games of action. The 30-year-old has had a decent season with Tacoma, but is seen as expendable by the organization.

Robertson was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson was promoted just before the All-Star break and appeared in nine games, logging 19 at-bats and recording five hits, including one double. The 30-year-old will return to Triple-A, as the Mariners bring up veteran outfielder Nori Aoki in his place.

Robertson, in his second start since his callup earlier this week, doubled and hit a run-scoring single Thursday in a loss at Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
The Mariners had been carrying 13 pitchers but wanted to get their position players more rest, so Robertson got the call. He played 107 games with the Angels in 2014-15. Robertson will get a start here and there to give outfielders rest, but probably won't get too many at-bats. If the Mariners choose to add another pitcher again or if Nori Aoki is recalled, Robertson likely will be sent to Triple-A over utilityman Shawn O'Malley, who plays infield and outfield.

Robertson was called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old didn't exactly kick the door down at Tacoma, batting .262/.327/.391 in 73 games this season, but he can help out at all three outfield positions and play second base in a pinch. While Robertson put up some decent stolen base totals early in his minor league career and has seven steals this year, it's hard to imagine he'll see the field enough to contribute much in any category.
