Three hits, homer against Yankees Robles went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, a run scored and four RBI in Saturday's win over the Yankees.
Impact Robles doubled off James Paxton in the first inning and later homered off Michael King, his first of the 2020 season. It was nice to see after Robles was a late arrival to camp and then went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts in the opener while batting behind Andrew Stevenson.

Starting season opener Robles (undisclosed) is starting in center field and hitting ninth Thursday against the Yankees.
Impact Robles' status for the start of the season was in doubt after he arrived late to summer camp, but he'll assume his normal spot in center field for Thursday's regular-season opener. The 23-year-old appeared in 155 games for the Nationals last season, slashing .255/.326/.419 with 17 home runs and 28 steals.

Starting again Tuesday Robles (undisclosed) is in the lineup for Tuesday's exhibition game against the Orioles, batting ninth.
Impact Robles' late arrival at camp put his availability into question for Opening Day against the Yankees on Thursday, but he's been able to build up at-bats quickly since joining the team. The 23-year-old went 0-for-1 with one walk while starting in Monday's intrasquad game, and he'll get another chance to face live pitching Tuesday. It's still unclear whether the team will deem him ready for the season opener, but it's unlikely that he'd miss much time if he isn't available Thursday.

In lineup for exhibition game Robles (undisclosed) is starting in center field for Monday's exhibition game against the Orioles, batting ninth.
Impact Robles arrived in camp Saturday after missing the first several weeks for an undisclosed reason, and he'll be able to participate in the team's second exhibition game Monday. The 23-year-old was optimistic that he'll be ready to participate in the Nationals' season opener against the Yankees on Thursday, but it's still unclear whether he'll be game ready by then. However, it's encouraging that he's starting in Monday's exhibition game, and any potential absence to start the season is unlikely to last long.

May be ready for Opening Day Robles (undisclosed) said Sunday, "I feel like I'm definitely going to be ready for Opening Day if possible," Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact The young outfielder reported to the team facility Saturday after missing the first couple weeks of summer camp for unspecified reasons, but he clearly hopes he'll be ready for Thursday's season opener against the Yankees. Robles took part in workouts Saturday and is scheduled to receive some at-bats during a simulated game Sunday. The expanded 30-man roster provides the Nationals some wiggle room to include Robles on the initial roster, even if he isn't 100 percent ready. Regardless, any potential absence is unlikely to last long for the 23-year-old. Once fully cleared, he's set to be the everyday starter in center field after posting a .255/.326/.419 slash line with 17 home runs and 28 stolen bases in 2019.

Participates in workouts Robles (undisclosed) participated in workouts Saturday and is scheduled to receive some at-bats during a simulated game Sunday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact The 23-year-old was absent for the first couple weeks of summer training, but he was able to report to the team facility this weekend. There's less than a week until Opening Day, so Robles may not have enough time to reach full game readiness for the matchup with the Yankees on Thursday. However, the expanded 30-man roster to begin the season could allow him to remain with the team, even if he's somewhat limited out of the gate.

Remains absent from camp Robles (undisclosed) remains absent from Nationals camp, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Robles has been quarantining during the first several weeks of camp, but was expected to arrive with the team before Friday. It remains unclear whether the 23-year-old tested positive for COVID-19 or if he just came into contact with someone who had tested positive. Robles' status for Opening Day is uncertain.

Not yet cleared for camp Robles (undisclosed) has yet to be cleared for workouts, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
Impact It's unknown whether Robles had a positive COVID-19 test or came into contact with someone who tested positive, but either way the speedy outfielder hasn't been able to participate in summer camp. If Robles isn't ready for Opening Day, Michael Taylor would step in as the starting center fielder.

Concludes strong spring Loaisiga pitched three innings in a Grapefruit League contest against Washington on Thursday, allowing one run on one hit and one walk while striking out three.
Impact Loaisiga was touched for a home run off the bat of Victor Robles in the third inning but was otherwise dominant in New York's final game of the spring slate. The right-hander finished Grapefruit League action with a 2.70 ERA along with a sparking 0.40 WHIP and 14 strikeouts in 10 innings. Though the Yankees have yet to determine how they will deploy Loaisiga once the regular season begins, his impressive spring could help him win the competition for the fifth-starter spot in the Opening Day rotation.
