Robertson went 2-for-4 with a walk and scored three runs in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday was Robertson's first multi-hit game of the year. The 24-year-old has shown great plate discipline so far, as he's drawn 6 walks over 18 plate appearances, giving him a .556 on-base percentage over six games. However, the bulk of Robertson's playing time has been coming against left-handed pitching, while Joey Wendle has gotten the nod against righties.

Robertson will start at second base and bat fifth Sunday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson is making his fourth start in five games, but it's worth noting that all but one of those assignments have come against left-handed pitching. As a result, it's likely that Robertson is still occupying the small side of a platoon at second base with Joey Wendle and will frequently sit out when righties are on the mound for the opposition.

Robertson is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Robertson on the bench for a second straight day against a right-handed starting pitcher, it appears he may occupy the short end of a platoon at second base this season with lefty hitters Joey Wendle or Brad Miller. Thanks to his ability to play all over the infield and the corner outfield, Robertson should get some work in as a late-inning defensive replacement or pinch hitter in games he's not starting.

Robertson (hand) will start at second base and bat eighth in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees, Bill Chastain of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson suffered a bruised left hand when he was hit by a pitch Friday against the Orioles, but a day off was all he needed to recover. The 24-year-old remains in the mix for a utility role with the Rays to begin the season and likely wouldn't receive more than a handful of starts per week.

Robertson's X-rays on his left hand were negative, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson was hit in the hand by a pitch from Darren O'Day in Friday's game against the Orioles. He has a contusion but did not break any bones, marking the second time this spring that he has suffered a left hand contusion after getting hit by a pitch. With no serious injuries, Robertson should still have a chance to crack the Rays' Opening Day roster as a utility infielder.

Robertson went 3-for-5 with an RBI single in Sunday's 10-5 Grapefruit League win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The multi-hit outing pushed the 23-year-old infielder's spring average to .321 over 33 plate appearances, an impressive figure that helping him make a strong bid for an Opening Day utility infield spot. Robertson's impressive exhibition slate includes a trio of multi-hit efforts, and he's looked notably improved at the plate over the small sample as compared to the hitter that generated a .206/.308/.326 line over 254 plate appearances during his rookie 2017 campaign.

Robertson (hand) is in the lineup for Saturday's spring game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson will be batting out of the ninth spot and manning shortstop for the Grapefruit League affair. During Friday's game, he was struck on the left hand by a pitch and was forced to come out of the game with minor bruising. He should be fully operational moving forward as the 23-year-old looks to win the starting job at the keystone this spring.

Robertson suffered a bruised left hand after getting hit by a pitch against the Orioles on Friday, Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson should be just fine following Friday's scare. The 23-year-old was removed from the game after this incident, but felt healthy enough to partake in a workout following the initial test results. He has no further plans to receive any more medical examination for the injury and it's expected that Robertson will be back on the field during the Rays' Grapefruit League games in the near future.
