Robertson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during a loss to the Royals in the second game of a doubleheader Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson hit one of two ninth-inning homers for the Rays, who were otherwise flummoxed by spot starter Glenn Sparkman and reliever Jake Newberry. Robertson has now hit safely in three straight games and has gone deep in two of them, but his season line still sits at an unsightly .183/.272/.293 across 92 plate appearances.

Robertson is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Royals, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll take a seat after starting each of the past 10 games, during which he slashed .200/.317/.371. Robertson's playing time has been on the upswing due to the absence of Joey Wendle (wrist) rather than for anything he's done at the dish, and it wouldn't be surprising if the 25-year-old soon saw his opportunities dwindle to some extent. Earlier this week, the Rays called up one of their top hitting prospects in Nate Lowe, who should be assured a regular spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching. The addition of Lowe probably makes Robertson one of the Tampa Bay players most at risk of losing out on at-bats as a result.

Robertson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Sunday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson started this one with a bang by slugged a two-run homer to left in the first inning. The Rays wouldn't look back on the way to a 5-2 victory. After going hitless at the dish over his past two contests, Robertson finally managed to deliver his first home run in his 24th game of 2019.

Robertson went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Royals on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson laced his third two-bagger of the last five games Tuesday, a stretch during which he's also hit safely on four occasions. The modest but productive surge has lifted Robertson's average 36 points to .185, a number that naturally still has ample room for improvement but is trending in the right direction.

Robertson went 1-for-3 with a two-run double and two walks in an extra-innings loss to the Red Sox on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson's average still sits at an unsightly .172 following Sunday's solid effort. However, he's now reached safely in four straight games, a modest streak that nevertheless serves as at least a source of cautious optimism. Additionally, Robertson demonstrated a penchant for timely hitting against the Red Sox, as Sunday marked his second two-RBI effort of the three-game series.

Robertson went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in a loss to the Red Sox on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson made his one hit count, as his sixth-inning two-bagger brought home Avisail Garcia and Austin Meadows to knot the game at 4-4 at the time. Friday's timely two-bagger aside, Robertson has had a rough go of it at the plate this season, as he's hitting just .157 across his first 56 plate appearances.

Robertson will start at third base and bat sixth Sunday against the Blue Jays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson had been out of the lineup for both of the past two games, but he'll check into the starting nine with normal third baseman Yandy Diaz moving over to designated hitter. Though he doesn't have a direct path to an everyday role, Robertson's ability to play three infield spots along with left field should allow him to see a decent amount of at-bats every week.

Robertson is not in the lineup for Friday's series opener at Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson will take a seat after starting four of the last five games -- each at a different infield position -- and going 4-for-18 in that stretch. The 25-year-old figures to be used fairly regularly in a similar role as long as Joey Wendle (hamstring) remains on the injured list.

Robertson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson will retreat to the bench after starting seven of the past eight games -- four at third base, two at second and one at shortstop. The 25-year-old's versatility should keep him locked into a quasi-full-time role while Joey Wendle (hamstring) faces an uncertain timeline to return from the injured list.

Robertson went 2-for-4 with an RBI bunt single, a walk and a stolen base in a win over the White Sox on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson was a thorn in the side of White Sox pitching throughout the afternoon, even recording his first swiped bag of the season. The versatile infielder has now hit safely in three straight and five of the last six overall, although he's still in search of his first extra-base hit of the season after compiling 25 over 340 plate appearances in 2018.
