Robertson came on in the eighth inning to make a four-out save in the 4-3 win over Oakland on Saturday.
Robertson was perfect in the outing allowing no baserunners, but failed to record a strikeout. After a day off on Friday, Robertson was right back to it grabbing his eighth save of the season Saturday.

Robertson was not used in a save situation Friday because manager Robin Ventura wanted to provide him with rest, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Robertson had pitched four times in the last seven days, including a 27-pitch effort Friday, so Ventura went with Zach Duke for the four-out save. Robertson has been phenomenal this season, despite the lack of save chances, with a 27:2 K:BB in 15 innings.

Robertson picked up his seventh save of the season Wednesday, striking out two and giving up a run in the ninth against the Brewers.
Robertson gave up a homer to Carlos Gomez and a walk to Adam Lind, but he got Martin Maldonado to line out and Hector Gomez to strike out swinging to pick up his seventh save in eight chances. The homer to Gomez was only the second run allowed by Robertson this season in 15 innings.

Robertson struck out two in a perfect ninth Tuesday against the Brewers to earn his sixth save of the season.
Robertson blew his first save of the season in his last appearance, so it was encouraging to see both the White Sox jump back on the horse rigth away, and for Robertson to deliver. The White Sox's lack of wins has resulted in few saves, but fantasy owners should delight in his 25:1 K:BB through 14 innings.

Robertson blew his first save of the season Sunday afer he allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits Sunday against the Reds.
The White Sox scored in the bottom half of the inning to give Robertson his third win of the season. Robertson dug himself into a hole by allowing back-to-back singles to begin the inning, and then catcher Geovany Soto widened that hole with a passed ball. Robertson stopped the bleeding with back-to-back strikeouts to Billy Hamilton and Marlon Byrd. The runs he allowed were the first he had allowed all year, so there is not much to worry about here. Robertson's role is very secure, and he should earn saves more rapidly if the White Sox are able to turn around their season.

Robertson allowed two hits to the Tigers on Wednesday, but he still managed a scoreless ninth to earn his fifth save of the season.
The 11-pitch effort marked Robertson's second save in as many days. It was his first time closing on consecutive days, which was a result of the White Sox's struggles this season rather than Robertson not being up to it. He has yet to allow a run through 11 innings this season, and he has not walked a batter since April 9.

Robertson didn't strike out a batter Tuesday against the Tigers, but still earned his fourth save of the season, only needing 13 pitches.
Robertson has yet to give up an earned run this season in eight total innings, holding opponents to four combined hits. This was his first save chance since April 26 against the Royals, though, so he's not a consistent closer to deploy.

Robertson allowed to hits and struck out two en route to his third save of the season in Sunday's win over the White Sox.
Save opportunities have been few and far between for Robertson thus far, but he continues to pile up the strikeouts and has still not allowed a run. Once the saves start coming more frequently, Robertson should be considered an elite fantasy reliever.

Robertson picked up his first win of the season Monday against the Indians.
Robertson pitched the top of the ninth inning in something of a "get work" appearance while the Sox were down 3-0, and the team's offense rallied for four runs in the bottom of the frame. It was Robertson's first appearance in nearly a week, as his services were not needed in a weekend series against Detroit that featured two blowouts.

Robertson struck out the side Saturday to earn the save over the Twins.
Robertson's forearm issues led to a shaky spring, but he looked like the closer the White Sox expected in his team debut Saturday. His lack of game action to this point was a function of the team starting 0-4. He should see more action moving forward.
