Robertson (neck) went 2-for-4 with a double for Triple-A Durham against Charlotte on Wednesday, playing all nine innings at shortstop.
EDGE Analysis
The fact that he put in a full game marked another important step for the 23-year-old, and he will now be reassessed for a potential activation. If the Rays deem ready for return, he could potentially join the team as early as Thursday.

Robertson (neck), who was hit in the hand by a pitch while playing for High-A Charlotte on Saturday, will move his rehab to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rehabbing shortstop wasn't seriously injured by the pitch, so he'll resume his work just a level away from the big leagues with the Bulls. Robertson played in four games with the Stone Crabs, hitting .556 with a home run and three RBI over 10 plate appearances.

Robertson (neck) was removed from Saturday's rehab game for High-A Charlotte after he was hit by a pitch in the hand, Bryan Levine of the Charlotte Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hopefully, the club was just being extra precautionary with Robertson on a rehab assignment, but we'll have to wait for doctors to get a look at him. Even in the best case scenario, Robertson may wind up having to extend his rehab a few days into August. Consider him day-to-day for now.

Robertson (neck) is 2-for-4 with two RBI from a single and a double over his first two rehab games with High-A Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
The recovering infielder has led off in both contests, starting at third base in his Thursday debut and manning the keystone on Friday. Robertson hasn't played a full nine innings in either game, although he could well reach that mark in at least one outing this coming weekend.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said that Robertson (neck) is likely to begin a rehab assignment at High-A Charlotte on Thursday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neck spasms have kept Robertson sidelined for the past month, but he's finally nearing a return to game action after resuming baseball activities about a week earlier. Since Robertson is ticketed for a limited role off the bench as a utility man once he's activated, the Rays aren't in any rush to get him back from the DL, so his rehab assignment is expected to span multiple games.

Robertson (neck) participated in fielding drills Friday and manager Kevin Cash said he should begin a rehab assignment within the next week, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson has been working towards becoming a full participant in baseball activities, and it appears he's making good progress in his overall recovery. The 23-year-old shortstop was placed on the DL at the end of June with neck spasms and will likely need multiple rehab games before joining the big league roster.

Robertson (neck) is feeling better after treatment and could resume baseball activities next week, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson hit the disabled list on June 30 after initially having been optioned to Triple-A Durham due to Adeiny Hechavarria's arrival. The team has officially termed his injury "neck spasms", although according to a social media posting by Robertson's mother, he is officially suffering from occipital neuralgia, a condition that's typically brought on by the occipital nerves being inflamed or injured. The 23-year-old could be eventually resume his season at Triple-A Durham given that there may not be an open spot for him on the big-league roster.

Robertson had his option voided and was sent to the 10-day disabled list Friday with neck spasms, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson apparently injured himself during his time in the majors, so he was simply shifted to the DL rather than sent to the minors. He'll still likely head to Triple-A once he is eligible to return from the disabled list, so this could just be postponing the inevitable.

Robertson was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old has had a productive first year in the big leagues, but becomes the roster casualty with Adeiny Hechavarria being activated from the DL. Over 58 games with the Rays this season, Robertson is slashing .224/.314/.365, yet has earned valuable playing time experience while slowly raising his average throughout the last two months. He returns to the minors for now, but could certainly see another call-up later this season.

Robertson went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run in Sunday's 8-5 loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old appears to be figuring out major-league pitching a bit with additional playing time, as he's now hit safely in seven of his last nine games. Robertson's recent surge has brought his June line to a respectable .250/.316/.382, and Sunday's effort represented his third multi-hit game in the last nine contests. Robertson also has 12 extra-base hits (five doubles, two triples, five home runs) in 195 plate appearances, with his homer total equal to the one he generated at Triple-A Durham across 511 plate appearances in 2016.
