Robertson, who threw a scoreless inning in a non-save situation Sunday, had scouts from the Red Sox and Yankees on hand watching him pitch, Toni Ginnetti of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rumors of Robertson being traded to the Nationals were popular during the first half of the season, but Washington made its long speculated move to acquire bullpen help elsewhere Sunday. Ryan Madson and Sean Doolittle were sent from Oakland to Washington, presumably to address the team's closer problems. Other clubs are interested in Robertson, but the Nationals were a team in need of a closer while the Red Sox and Yankees are looking at him to be a setup man. The obvious implication Sunday's development is that Robertson's value will be reduced if he's not closing games, and the potential haul he could get in fantasy circles will be diminished.

Robertson pitched a clean ninth inning to record the save Saturday against the Rockies. He struck out two batters.

EDGE Analysis

It took Robertson just 13 pitches (nine strikes) to shut the door in his first opportunity since June 29. The White Sox will likely offer him up on the trade market in the coming weeks, and although Robertson has only 12 saves on the year for this rebuilding club, his deep resume will garner plenty of interest. (Are the Nationals on speed dial yet?) Though perhaps a team will acquire him to be a setup piece, it's hard not to picture him as the stopper if he finds a new home.

Robertson was activated from the paternity list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was given that designation before Monday's game and will be on the roster card for Friday's series-opening clash with the Rockies. Robertson remains a highly likely candidate to be traded in the coming weeks, so his understudy, Tommy Kahnle, should still be added in many fantasy leagues despite the closer's return.

Robertson was placed on the paternity list prior to Monday's game against the A's.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson will step away from the team for a few days to be with his wife while she gives birth. With an off-day approaching Thursday, he should be back for Friday's series opener against the Rockies. In the meantime, Tommy Kahnle could snatch a save chance or two in his absence.

Robertson improved to 4-2 with 1.2 scoreless innings Sunday against the Rangers. He allowed two hits and a walk with two strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson got the final two outs with the bases empty in the top of the eighth inning, then got the opportunity to close out the contest when a Yolmer Sanchez homer in the bottom of the frame turned a 5-4 deficit into a 6-5 lead. Texas was able to load the bases against him in the ninth, but Robertson nailed down the victory with a three-pitch strikeout of Carlos Gomez.

David Robertson's wife is past due with the couple's second child, Dan Hayes of CSN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson's wife Erin tweeted that she was at the ballpark while he locked down the save against against the Yankees, his former club. If she goes into labor in the next few days, Robertson could need to spend time on the paternity list soon, meaning Tommy Kahnle could fall into at least one save chance. Fantasy players looking to scrounge for any possible closing opportunity could make that move.

Robertson allowed just one hit while striking out one batter in a scoreless ninth frame en route to his 12th save of the season.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson was able to get back on track after allowing the go-ahead (inherited) run to score in Sunday's loss to the A's. The 32-year-old has struck out a batter in seven straight appearances now, and he owns a respectable 3.18 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 42:9 K:BB ratio in 28.1 innings this season.

Robertson allowed one run on two hits over one inning in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson entered a tied game with men on base and none out in the eighth inning but was unable stop the Athletics from stealing this one. The performance continues a pattern where Robertson has been ineffective in non-save situations. He's allowed eight runs on 13 hits and five walks over 14 innings when there isn't a save to be had.

Robertson cruised through the ninth inning to pick up his 11th save of the season Saturday against the Blue Jays. He stuck out two batters and didn't allow a base runner while finishing the inning with 14 pitches.

EDGE Analysis

Saturday was Robertson's first clean inning since May 29, a span of four outings. His ERA is down to 3.20 and he owns a strong 0.87 WHIP alongside a 13.26 K/9. Robertson continues to be a reliable option in the back end and his 11 saves rank him eighth in the American League.

Robertson retired all three batters faced, one by strikeout, to save Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson shook off a season-worst outing two days earlier to record his ninth save in 10 opportunities. His 3.38 ERA doesn't inspire much confidence, but when a save is on the line, opponents are batting just .111 against him.
