Robertson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Yankees on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson has begun the second half wielding a hot bat, as he's now 5-for-9 with two home runs and five RBI over his last three games. The 24-year-old's improvement over that of his rookie season is best summed up by the fact that he has eight more extra-base hits (including four more home runs) and 12 more RBI in just four additional games.

Robertson went 1-for-1 with a grand slam Sunday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson was called upon to pinch hit in the bottom of the ninth while facing a two-run deficit, but he came through with a walkoff home run. The 24-year-old third baseman has collected a base knock in four of his last five games, and he sits with a .255/.378/.400 slash line with eight homers and 30 RBI through 77 games this season.

Robertson is out of the lineup Sunday against the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson has started both games since the All-Star break and three in a row overall, as regular third baseman Matt Duffy had been dealing with a back injury. With Duffy returning to the lineup, however, Robertson will head back to the bench for his regular role as a reserve middle infielder.

Robertson went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs in an extra-inning loss to the Twins on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson contributed through multiple means in the defeat, although he also apparently played the role of instigator in a couple of bench-clearing scenarios in the seventh inning. The versatile infielder heads into the All-Star break slashing .257/.384/.392 through 75 games, a notable improvement over the .206/.308/.326 line he mustered in his initial big-league stint in 2017 over the same number of contests.

Robertson is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson will cede duties at the keystone to Joey Wendle in the series finale after drawing 11 consecutive starts. With seven home runs and one stolen base in 281 plate appearances this season, Robertson isn't much juice in the counting-stat categories, but his positional versatility and .391 on-base percentage should continue to afford him an everyday role.

Robertson went 3-for-6 with a game-winning RBI single and a run in an extra-inning victory over the Tigers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson delivered in the 10th inning with a single to center that plated Kevin Kiermaier, securing the win for the Rays. The 24-year-old has come off the disabled list wielding a hot bat, as he's hitting .302 with four doubles, six RBI, seven walks and nine runs across 64 plate appearances over the subsequent 14 games.

Robertson went 3-for-5 with a two-run double, another two-bagger, two walks and a run in an extra-innings win over the Marlins on Tuesday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson may have been among the more exhausted players from either side by the time the 16-inning marathon concluded, as he spent his entire night on the bases. The stellar effort was an extension of what has been a torrid streak for Robertson since returning from the disabled list, one that's seen him hit .324 (11-for-34) with four doubles, three RBI, five walks and six runs over nine games.

Robertson will start at second base and bat cleanup Sunday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The Rays' crowded middle infield doesn't seem to have affected Robertson since he returned from the disabled list June 22, as his positional versatility and on-base skills will earn him his seventh start in nine games. Robertson will see work at the keystone for the second straight day Sunday while Joey Wendle, the club's primary option at the position this season, moves over to left field. It appears both players will be in store for near-everyday roles thanks to their ability to play multiple spots.

Robertson went 2-for-4 with a run in a win over the Astros on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson extended his hitting streak to five games with the Rays' only multi-hit effort of the night. The 24-year-old has rebounded nicely from a tough May during the current month, as he's now hitting .277 over 51 June plate appearances. Robertson most recently displayed his positional versatility by picking up a start in left field earlier this week, and his ability to fill in at so many spots projects to continue keeping his playing time very consistent.

Robertson will start in left field and bat third Monday against the Nationals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson, who returned from the disabled list over the weekend and started at second base in place of platoon mate Joe Wendle, will receive a look in the outfield for the first time in his young career. He has played the outfield in spring training the past two years, so Robertson won't exactly be thrown into the fire at the position. If Robertson acquits himself well defensively, it wouldn't be surprising if he pushed for more action in left field, as the Rays are likely eager to find ways to get his bat in the lineup. Robertson's .814 OPS would represent a sizable upgrade over the likes of Carlos Gomez (.623) and Johnny Field (.653), who have both seen substantial run at the corner-outfield spots this season.
