DAVID ROBERTSON NEWS

On track for setup role Robertson is poised to begin the season in a setup role after Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday there is a "strong possibility" Jose Leclerc will open as the closer, Evan Gra...

Impact Robertson was never likely to fully usurp Leclerc from the job during spring training, but there seemed to be a chance Bochy might utilize a committee approach. Robertson will instead begin the campaign in a setup role, which significantly dampens his fantasy outlook. The 38-year-old is still likely to be the next man up and should see occasional save chances even if Leclerc is pitching well.

Earns sixth win Robertson (6-6) earned the win Sunday against the Phillies. He allowed a hit and two walks while striking out three in a scoreless inning.

Impact Robertson certainly didn't make things easy in the seventh inning Sunday -- after striking out the first two batters in the frame, he'd load the bases on a pair of walks and a hit before ultimately punching out Alec Bohm. The Marlins would take the lead in the bottom half of the inning, giving Robertson his second win in his last three appearances. The veteran right-hander has now delivered three consecutive scoreless outings after giving up eight runs (six earned) in his previous four appearances. Tanner Scott seems to have locked down the closing job in Miami, though they'll still rely on Robertson as a high-leverage option. He now sports a 3.10 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP and 65:23 K:BB in 58 innings between the Marlins and Mets this season.

On outs as Miami closer The Marlins are expected to remove Robertson from the closing role beginning with Sunday's game against the Nationals, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Marlins manager Skip Schumaker hasn't confirmed that Robertson has lost hold of the ninth-inning gig, but the writing appears to be on the wall for the right-hander's removal from the role after he blew his second save in the last three chances in Saturday's loss to Washington. Since being acquired from the Mets on July 27, Robertson has turned in a 7.20 ERA and 1.70 WHIP over 10 innings while blowing three of seven save opportunities. Tanner Scott profiles as the most likely option to take over as Miami's closer, though it's possible that Schumaker opts to take a committee approach to save situations.

Blows another save Robertson (4-5) took the loss and blew the save in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Nationals, giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

Impact Lane Thomas greeted Robertson with a triple to open the top of the ninth, and while he got erased at home plate on a fielder's choice, the veteran reliever never regained his focus. Robertson has not been the answer at closer for Miami -- since being picked up at the trade deadline from the Mets, he's stumbled to a 7.20 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 9:6 K:BB through 10 innings while blowing three of his seven save chances. Tanner Scott has yet to give up a run in August while A.J. Puk has thrived in a return to a setup role since Robertson was acquired, so it wouldn't be a surprise if manager Skip Schumaker shuffled around his high-leverage corps once again before the end of the season.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Collects 18th save Robertson walked one and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Padres.

Impact Robertson took a blown save his last time out, allowing three runs in an inning versus the Dodgers on Saturday. It appears that was just a blip on the radar, as he was in much better form Tuesday to pick up his 18th save in 23 chances this season. The veteran right-hander has allowed multiple runs three times over eight outings in August, but he's still at a 2.89 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 56:19 K:BB through 53 innings between the Mets and the Marlins this year.

AUGUST 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes blown save Saturday Robertson (4-4) allowed three runs on four hits and two walks over one inning, taking the loss and a blown save in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Dodgers.

Impact Robertson got the first out and then proceeded to allow five straight batters to reach base. He's been scored on in three of his eight appearances with the Marlins, and all three of those instances have resulted in multiple runs on his ledger. Robertson is at a 2.94 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 55:18 K:BB through 52 innings this year while going 17-for-22 in save chances between the Mets and the Marlins.

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nails down 17th save Robertson picked up the save Wednesday against the Reds, allowing one hit while striking out one over a scoreless inning.

Impact Robertson entered the contest with a one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth and needed just four pitches to get through the first two batters. He then allowed a single to Stuart Fairchild before getting rookie phenom Elly De La Cruz to go down swinging to end the game and secure his 17th save of the season. It marked Robertson's third save in four attempts since joining the Marlins while he's now recorded at least one strikeout in five straight appearances.

AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rebounds for 16th save Robertson picked up the save Tuesday against Cincinnati. He allowed one walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

Impact Robertson looked sharp while picking up his second save with Miami. It was a solid bounce-back performance after the veteran right-hander allowed four runs over his previous two outings (two innings). Overall, Robertson is 16-for-20 in save opportunities with a 2.63 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 53:15 K:BB across 48 innings this season between the Marlins and the Mets.

AUGUST 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes first blown save with Miami Robertson (4-3) blew the save and took the loss Tuesday against the Phillies. He allowed three runs on two hits and a walk while striking out one in an inning of work.

Impact It was a brutal night for Robertson in his second appearance with Miami. Bryce Harper tied the game 1-1 with an RBI double before Robertson surrendered a two-run homer to Nick Castellanos that would prove to be the game-winner. The Marlins will hope this was an anomaly in what's been an otherwise excellent year for the 38-year-old Robertson -- he'd allowed just two runs over his previous nine innings. Overall, Robertson's ERA sits at 2.54 with a 1.02 WHIP and 50:14 K:BB across 46 innings this season while going 15-for-19 in save opportunities.

Earns first save as Marlin Robertson picked up the save in Sunday's 8-6 victory over Detroit. He struck out one over a perfect inning.

Impact 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.
