Robertson picked up the save Saturday against Miami, striking out one in a perfect inning.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson got Nick Fortes to go down swinging, and he then retired Jon Berti and Jazz Chisholm on groundouts to cement the victory for the Mets. The right-hander has his second save of the season, and he hasn't allowed a run over four innings in his four appearances.

Robertson pitched a scoreless eighth inning in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

With the score tied 6-6 on the road, Mets manager Buck Showalter elected to turn to Robertson in the eighth rather than hold him back for a possible save situation. The move backfired when Adam Ottavino served up a walkoff homer to Garrett Mitchell after taking over in the ninth, but it's an indication that Robertson might see more general high-leverage usage rather than being used exclusively for save chances. Even so, the 37-year-old does have the Mets' only save so far in 2023, and he remains the favorite to lead the team in that category in the absence of Edwin Diaz (knee).

Robertson picked up the save in Thursday's 5-3 victory over the Marlins. He struck out two in a perfect inning of work.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Buck Showalter said earlier this week that he would not name a closer going into the 2023 season, but he acknowledged Robertson's experience and leaned on that experience in the Mets' first save chance of the new season. Robertson, who now has 158 career saves, got the job done on 16 pitches, nailing down the win for Max Scherzer. Garrett Cooper and Jazz Chisholm went down swinging against Robertson before Jorge Soler flew out to right field to end the game.

Mets manager Buck Showalter said Wednesday that he will not name a closer going into the start of the 2023 season, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Showalter did specifically mention Robertson as having the "strongest background" for the job, but Adam Ottavino, Brooks Raley and Drew Smith are also expected to receive ninth-inning looks as the Mets sort out their bullpen blueprint in the absence of Edwin Diaz (knee). Robertson, who boasts 157 career major-league saves, pitched to a 2.40 ERA with 81 strikeouts in 63.2 innings last year between the Cubs and Phillies. He's probably the best option to bet on from an early-season fantasy perspective.

Robertson and Brooks Raley are viewed as the primary options for saves for the Mets while Edwin Diaz (knee) is sidelined, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

EDGE Analysis

Official word on Diaz won't be available until sometime after his MRI on Thursday, but the Mets are bracing for their star closer to be out for a significant period of time. Robertson would be a natural choice to slide into the ninth inning, having saved 20 games while posting a 2.40 ERA over 58 appearances for the Cubs and Phillies last season. He and Raley are both worthy of being selected in fantasy leagues -- pending news on Diaz -- with Robertson probably the favorite.

Robertson signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Mets on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson missed the entirety of 2020 and the majority of the 2021 season due to Tommy John surgery. However, he returned to health to throw 63.2 innings and tally 20 saves in 2022, splitting the season between the Cubs and Phillies. He won't be in line for save opportunities with the Mets barring an injury to Edwin Diaz, though Robertson will be a proven setup man in a bullpen that is currently lacking high-leverage relievers.

Robertson pitched a scoreless ninth inning and earned the save Friday night during Game 1 of the World Series, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two in the 6-5 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson received his first save opportunity of the postseason, and he nearly allowed the Astros to steal the win. After striking out the leadoff man Yordan Alvarez, Robertson found himself with the tying run at third and the winning run at second. After three straight balls to Aledmys Diaz, the 37-year-old was able to work back and force a ground out to secure the 1-0 lead in the World Series. This was Robertson's 21st save of the season in his 29th opportunity. Despite his struggles in the postseason, Robertson has allowed just one run in 4.2 innings and remains a solid option out of the Philadelphia bullpen.

Robertson returned from injury and recorded two outs during Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Padres in Game 2 of the NLCS, allowing one run on three hits and zero walks.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson made his first appearance since Game 1 of the wild-card round after suffering a calf injury. The 37-year-old righty showed signs of rust as he surrendered a long home run to Manny Machado to lead off the seventh and was only able to record two outs before being pulled by manager Rob Thomson. Look to see if Robertson can bounce back when he gets his next opportunity in the NLCS. The veteran has managed to limit the walks that plagued him at the end of the regular season. He allowed 11 walks over his final 11.2 innings in the regular season, but has yet to walk any of the eight batters he has faced so far in the postseason.

Robertson (calf) has made the Phillies' NLCS roster.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson strained his right calf while jumping in the air to celebrate a homer during the wild-card round. The injury was serious enough to keep him off the roster during the NLDS against Atlanta, but his teammates managed to win the series without him, buying him time to return. He'll give the Phillies another option to deploy in the late innings.

Robertson (calf) has been throwing and could return for the NLCS, should the Phillies advance, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson missed out on the NLDS roster after straining his calf while celebrating a Bryce Harper homer in the wild-card round. The Phillies have managed to take a 2-1 lead in the series despite the absence of one of their best relief options, but they'll need to win one more game if Robertson is to have a chance to pitch again this season.
