Robertson is dealing with right knee inflammation and will be placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Saturday's game against the Athletics, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tampa Bay plans to promote infielder Mike Brosseau from Triple-A Durham to fill in for Robertson as a utility option. There weren't any indications in recent days that Robertson had been nursing an injury, but he went unused off the bench in both of the Rays' past two contests.

Robertson was recalled from Triple-A Durham and will start at third base and bat ninth Wednesday against the Yankees, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll assume the active roster spot of corner infielder Yandy Diaz, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with right hamstring discomfort. Robertson's ability to play three infield spots should give him multiple avenues into the lineup, but the newly reinstated Joey Wendle offers similar versatility and may be the likelier bet to replace Diaz when the Rays oppose right-handed pitchers.

Robertston was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
He had been getting starts, primarily against lefties, but with Joey Wendle coming off the injured list, the Rays were carrying three second basemen (Brandon Lowe being the other), so Robertson is the odd man out. Jake Faria was recalled in a corresponding move.

Robertson is not in Saturday's lineup against the Twins, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson is in the midst of a modest seven-game hitting streak, hitting .269 with zero home runs and six strikeouts over that stretch. Christian Arroyo will start at third base and hit sixth.

Robertson went 1-for-4 with a run in a win over the Indians on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson operated from the bottom of the order in his return from a one-game absence due to an allergic reaction. The utility infielder's .195 season average remains just under the Mendoza Line, but he's now reached safely in six of his last seven games.

Robertson (illness) is starting at third base and hitting ninth Saturday against the Indians, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
He experienced an allergic reaction during Thursday's game and was also held out Friday, but he's able to return to the field in this one. Robertson lacks the platoon advantage in this one against righty Carlos Carrasco, but he continues to work as the everyday third baseman while Yandy Diaz (hand/wrist) is on the shelf.

Robertson is not starting Friday against Cleveland after leaving Thursday's game due to an allergic reaction, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
A healthy Robertson would be the Rays' primary third baseman in the absence of Yandy Diaz (hand). With Robertson also out, Andrew Velasquez gets the start at third base.

Robertson was removed from Thursday's game against the Indians in the fifth inning due to an allergic reaction, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The infielder went 1-for-2 before his exit, which was reportedly caused by a pregame meal that triggered Robertson's peanut allergy. He should be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's game against the Indians.

Robertson went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a loss to the Yankees on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson's average continues to linger well below the Mendoza Line despite Friday's multi-hit effort, his first since April 23. The versatile infielder is only 7-for-34 during May, although three of those hits (two doubles, one home run) have gone for extra bases.

Robertson went 1-for-2 with a two-run double, a bases-loaded walk, one other base on balls and two runs in a win over the Diamondbacks on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Avisail Garcia and Tommy Pham garnered the headlines with the big blasts, but Robertson played the thorn-in-the-side role perfectly from the bottom of the order. He was a constant presence on the basepaths, and his impressive plate discipline with the bases loaded in the second led to a walk that opened the floodgates to a five-run inning. Robertson continues to sport an unsightly .180/.291/.292 line for the season, but he's now reached safely in seven straight games.
