Robertson picked up the save in Sunday's 8-6 victory over Detroit. He struck out one over a perfect inning.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson got his first taste of action in a Miami uniform Sunday after being dealt by the Mets on Thursday, and he immediately assumed ninth-inning duties for the Marlins. The 38-year-old was perfect for save No. 15 and has now gone 3.2 innings without allowing a hit. Robertson figures to play a crucial role for the Marlins during their Wild Card chase and should receive more save opportunities with the team than he saw in New York.

Robertston will officially be activated by the Marlins on Saturday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson was traded from the Mets to the Marlins late Thursday but will need about a day to get his ducks in a row before reporting for duty. He is expected to take over at closer for Miami, but if the club has a late-inning lead Friday they could turn to A.J. Puk or Tanner Scott.

Robertson was traded by the Mets to the Marlins in exchange for two prospects Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Marlins have been trying to bolster their bullpen in the last few days, first flipping Dylan Floro for Jorge Lopez. Now they've added Robertson, who has served as the Mets' primary closer this season and put together a stellar 2.05 ERA and 1.00 WHIP to go along with a 48:13 K:BB across 44 frames. It's unclear if he'll get the full allotment of saves in Miami, though he does pair well with A.J. Puk given their complementary handedness.

Robertson recorded his 13th save of the season in Tuesday's 11-10 win over the White Sox, giving up a run on a hit and two walks in the ninth inning.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran reliever managed to get only 11 of his 22 pitches over the plate, but he got Tim Anderson to fly out with runners on second and third to escape the jam he had created. Robertson could be wearing down after a busy first half, and over his last eight appearances he has a 4.32 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB through 8.1 innings. Adam Ottavino's not pitching any better at the moment, however, and the Mets don't have any other clear alternatives for the closer role, so Robertson's job appears to be safe -- unless the front office decides to have a fire sale at the trade deadline.

Robertson (4-2) earned the win over the Dodgers on Sunday after allowing a hit and striking out a batter over two scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson stranded Chris Taylor in scoring position in the ninth after allowing a double and then retired all three Dodger hitters in the 10th to strand the automatic runner. The Mets would walk it off in the bottom of the inning, awarding Robertson is fourth win of the year to compliment his 12 saves. The 38-year-old has pitched to a sparkling 1.96 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 47:11 K:BB in 41.1 innings this season. Given his experience, Robertson could be one of the top relievers available on the trade market should the Mets end up deciding to sell.

Robertson struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson picked up his second save in as many days with a clean inning. He's kept runs off the board in 10 of his last 11 appearances while going 3-for-4 in save chances in that span. The 38-year-old is at a 1.88 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 45:11 K:BB, 13 saves and six holds through 38.1 innings overall.

Robertson gave up a hit and a walk before recording the final out of Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Diamondbacks and collecting his 12th save of the season.
EDGE Analysis
Drew Smith began the ninth inning with the Mets leading by four runs, but after he put two runners aboard with two outs, Robertson got the call and allowed an inherited runner to score before getting Lourdes Gurriel to ground out with the bases loaded. The 38-year-old righty has issued a free pass in four of his last five appearances, and while his 1.93 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 44:11 K:BB through 37.1 innings on the season remain sharp, he could likely use some rest over the All-Star break -- he's on pace to top 70 innings for the first time in his career.

Robertson gave up a hit over 1.2 scoreless innings of relief Saturday to record his 11th save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander needed only 13 pitches (nine strikes) to breeze through the bottom of the Philadelphia order. It was Robertson's first save in June, but that's due to a lack of consistent opportunities rather than poor performance. He's reeled off five straight scoreless appearances, and on the season he carries a 1.64 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 40:8 K:BB through 33 innings.

Robertson was charged with a blown save Thursday against Atlanta, allowing one run on two hits and no walks while striking out three batters over 1.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson came on in the eighth inning after New York's lead had narrowed to one run. He recorded the final two outs of that frame on eight pitches, then returned to try to close out the contest in the ninth. He wasn't successful, as Orlando Arcia tagged him for a one-out solo homer to tie the score. This was just the second blown save of the season for Robertson in 12 opportunities, though it continued a recent decline in his performance. After giving up just two earned runs over his first 20 innings of the campaign, Robertson has surrendered four earned runs on 10 hits over 7.1 frames across his past six appearances.

Robertson earned a save against the Phillies on Wednesday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters over one inning.
EDGE Analysis
Robertson experienced some stress in the outing as a result of allowing two straight hitters to reach base (via an infield single and a hit-by-pitch, respectively) with one out. However, the right-hander bounced back with a pair of strikeouts to end the threat and notch a save for the second straight day. Robertson is still in somewhat of a timeshare at closer with Adam Ottavino, but the former has been the more dominant pitcher throughout the campaign, posting a 1.48 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB over 24.1 frames.
