Robertson (2-0) pitched a scoreless ninth inning with two strikeouts to earn his second win of the season Saturday against San Diego.
EDGE Analysis
Despite pitching well to start the season (2.13 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 14.2 K/9), Robertson has only collected five saves. Picking up Saturday's win was a welcomed bonus. Unfortunately, the rebuilding White Sox don't project to start making a move up the standings any time soon, so Robertson is unlikely to see a notable uptick in save opportunities.

Robertson mopped up Sunday's 4-0 loss to Baltimore with a scoreless inning.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson made his first appearance in eight days as the White Sox have not needed the services of its closer. The rebuilding Sox have managed to stay relevant early on with the second-best ERA in MLB but their sub-par bats (.238) can impact how often Robertson is in position to get a save.

Robertson (1-0) allowed two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two across two innings to record a blown save, but earned a victory Saturday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson was unable to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning, but after the White Sox scored a pair of runs in the 10th frame, he was able to set down the side in the bottom half to notch the victory. The blown save broke a streak of five successful conversions, and although he's allowed runs to score in two of his last three outings, he still boasts a strong 2.79 ERA to go along with a 1.03 WHIP, and he should continue to function as a mid-range fantasy option at closer.

Robertson finished off the Royals, allowing one hit and striking out one to pick up his fifth save of the season in Wednesday's 5-2 win.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson is a perfect 5-for-5 when converting save chances this season. The White Sox's setup crew has been tremendous in April, preserving leads and putting Robertson in position for saves. In what was widely presumed to be a rebuilding season on the south side of Chicago -- one in which veterans like Robertson is traded -- the White Sox (11-9) are tied for first in the AL Central. While Chicago remains relevant, the organization will likely leave its closer right where he is, instead of trading him away to a team which may have another role in mind for Robertson.

Robertson walked two batters and struck out one over two-thirds of an inning to pick up his fourth save of the season in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
The two free passes were the first of the season for Robertson who had trouble finding the zone with just eight of 19 pitches going for strikes. He also allowed an inherited runner to score. Despite the troubles, he remained perfect on the season, having successfully converted all four save opportunities with a 0.00 ERA over six appearances.

Robertson struck out two men over one inning to earn his third save in Sunday's 3-1 win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson hasn't been perfect this season, but he's been pretty close. He's allowed just one hit and no runs over his five outings while striking out 10.

Robertson struck out two in a perfect inning to earn his second save of the season in Friday's 2-1 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox's bullpen has been stellar to start the season, ranking third with a 1.44 ERA. If Chicago's relievers keep this up, it will generate more save opportunities for Robertson.

Robertson pitched a perfect ninth with two strikeouts in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
He delivered a stress-free night in his first save chance of the year. After going unused for four straight games to open the year, Robertson has now appeared three times in four nights, as has top setup man Nate Jones, so manager Rick Renteria may need to get creative if a save chance comes up Thursday.

Robertson struck out two batters over a scoreless inning in a non-save situation in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox have yet to need its closer to save a win, so Robertson's jog from the bullpen Sunday was his first of the season. He's been a pretty reliable closer the last three seasons but is most likely going to be traded at some point during the season. And that could result in a change in role.

Robertson threw a perfect inning of relief Sunday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson was making his first appearance for the White Sox since returning from the World Baseball Classic. The right-hander will get some occasional work in over the final week of camp, but due to his preparation for the WBC, Robertson is already in regular-season shape.
