Robinson was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson was able to crack the Opening Day roster as Jedd Gyorko (calf) started the season on the injured list, and Gyorko's return Friday spelled an end to this big-league stint. The 26-year-old appeared solely as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-3 with one strikeout through the first six games of the year.

Robinson's spot on the Opening Day roster is now locked in with Jedd Gyorko (calf) opening the season on the injured list, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson had already helped his cause with a solid spring at the plate, but Gyorko's season-opening absence helps cement Robinson's status. The 26-year-old has hit .268 with eight RBI over 56 Grapefruit League at-bats and is capable of filling in at all three outfield positions.

Robinson went 3-for-4 with a double, four RBI, a run scored, and two stolen bases Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After a slow start to the spring, Robinson has collected six hits in his last 11 at-bats. He now has 10 hits in 39 at-bats, but has also struck out 16 times. This hot stretch is coming at the right time for Robinson as he is competing for a bench spot in a crowded Cardinals lineup, though it appears likely he'll begin the season at Triple-A Memphis.

Robinson was traded from the Rangers to the Cardinals on Tuesday in exchange for Patrick Wisdom.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson split time between Triple-A Round Rock and the majors in 2018, hitting .303/.379/.569 in 53 games for the Express but struggling to a .183/.288/.294 line across 47 games with the Rangers. The 26-year-old should fill a utility role for the Cardinals while offering a left-handed bat off the bench.

Robinson was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson was expected to return to the Rangers in September when rosters expand, but rejoins the team a few weeks early with Delino DeShields dealing with a finger fracture. Robinson could see some starts in center field along with Carlos Tocci, in the meantime.

Robinson is expected to come back to Texas when rosters expand Sept. 1, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson was recently sent down to Triple-A Round Rock when Delino DeShields (concussion) came off the disabled list, but Rangers manager Jeff Banister was pleased with the adjustments Robinson's made since his first demotion in May. "We like what we saw from Drew," Banister said. "He made some nice adjustments in the batter's box. We know what he can do defensively and with his versatility. He had more consistent at-bats, the swing-and-miss is down. We like the improvements, and we like the adjustments." For now, Robinson will ply his craft at Round Rock while Delino DeShields is evaluated as the center fielder for next season. DeShields has been demoted twice due to a plunging batting average and on-base percentage. If DeShields doesn't clean up his approach, the Rangers could move onto Robinson as the center fielder in 2019.

Robinson was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson played sparingly during his most recent cup of coffee with Texas, but he manager to go 2-for-6 with a double and five runs scored with the chances he did get. He'll head back to the minors to make room for Delino DeShields to return from the disabled list, though his positional versatility makes him an obvious callup whenever another Ranger position player gets injured in the future.

Robinson will start in center field Sunday, Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday after the Rangers placed Delino DeShields (concussion) on the disabled list. He'll split the center field duties with Carlos Tocci, who started Saturday. Robinson hit just .175 during his time in the majors, but had a .930 OPS in 223 plate appearances while at Round Rock.

Robinson was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson is up to replace Delino DeShields (concussion). He's done very little in his previous opportunities with Texas this season, hitting just .175/.258/.238 in 26 games.

Robinson (hip) was activated from the disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson didn't do enough for the Rangers prior to his injury to merit a return to the big leagues. He hit just .175/.258/.238 in 89 plate appearances and struck out 50.6 percent of the time. With the ability to play both middle infield and center field, he has multiple routes back to the big leagues, but nothing in his track record suggests he'll be a viable fantasy option if and when he returns.
