Three hits from leadoff spot Robles went 3-for-6 with one RBI in Saturday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Impact This was Robles' second game in a row in the leadoff spot, and he did a decent job of setting the table. The Mariners didn't knock him in but still put up 12 hits as a team, including three home runs. Robles is batting .300 (12-for-30) over eight games since the All-Star break and finally looks to have a larger role due to the absence of Julio Rodriguez (ankle). Robles is slashing .302/.396/.430 with two home runs, seven RBI, nine runs scored and 12 stolen bases over 104 plate appearances this season.

Slugs solo homer in win Robles went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a win over the White Sox on Friday.

Impact The Mariners offense snapped out of its extended slumber in a big way Friday, and Robles put a bow on a memorable eight-run first inning with his 411-foot solo shot to left field. The veteran seems to have settled into an everyday role in center field for the time being with Julio Rodriguez (ankle) sidelined for multiple weeks, and Friday marked Robles' first time leading off. He'd mostly been slotting into the No. 2 hole in the order as well of late, and there's no reason to think he won't continue working out of favorable slotting given how successful he's been at the plate (.364 average, 1.008 OPS with Seattle).

Another stolen base Wednesday Robles went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Angels on Wednesday.

Impact Robles reached safely for the eighth straight game, continuing to serve as one of the few consistent bats in a struggling and now injury-hampered Mariners lineup. The veteran outfielder is also evolving into a consistently effective threat on the basepaths, with Wednesday's steal his sixth in the last seven contests. Robles' blistering bat since joining Seattle was already starting to carve him out additional playing time, but injuries to Dominic Canzone (thigh) and Julio Rodriguez (ankle) have essentially locked Robles into an everyday role for the foreseeable future.

Keeps rolling in Sunday's win Robles went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in a win over the Astros on Sunday.

Impact The veteran outfielder worked out of the No. 2 spot in the lineup for the second consecutive game and continued validating his bump up the order with his third multi-hit effort in the last five games. Robles also recorded his fifth stolen base in the last four contests after his fifth-inning infield single, and with a .390 average and 1.053 OPS across 49 plate appearances since joining the offensively inconsistent Mariners, his hot bat looks like it will be a mainstay in the lineup for the foreseeable future.

Swipes two bases Saturday Robles went 1-for-3 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run in an loss to the Astros on Saturday.

Impact Robles drew another start in right field and eventually shifted over to left while notably working out of the No. 2 spot in the order for the first time. The hot-hitting veteran reached double digits in stolen bases for the third time in his career with his pair of swipes, his second multi-steal tally in the last three games. Robles is surging at the plate over the last eight games as well, hitting .444 (8-for-18) with three extra-base hits, two RBI, three walks, five total steals, a hit-by-pitch and four runs in that span. It remains to be seen if Saturday's lineup slotting is an outlier or is replicated in coming days, but Robles' run-scoring opportunities would figure to rise if the latter proves true.

Pair of hits in loss Robles went 2-for-3 in a loss to the Astros on Friday.

Impact Robles drew the start in right field with Dominic Canzone (groin) starting the second half of the season on the IL, and the veteran contributed the only multi-hit effort of a very quiet night for Mariners bats. Robles has proven a steady contributor when given the opportunity since his arrival in Seattle, now boasting a stellar .382 average and 1.050 OPS with five extra-base hits (out of 13 total) in 39 plate appearances. With Canzone still some time away from returning, Robles could continue earning starts at the expense of the struggling Mitch Haniger if he continues to produce at the plate.

Two steals Sunday Robles went 0-for-2 with a walk, two stolen bases and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.

Impact Robles reached via a walk in the seventh and wound up with two stolen bases before coming around to score in the inning. He already has eight steals in 36 games this season after totaling eight in 36 games during an injured plagued 2023 campaign. Robles has strung together three consecutive starts after Dominic Canzone (adductor) was placed on the injured list Wednesday and seems to be the primary replacement in the outfield for Canzone while he's sidelined.

Getting third straight start Robles will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact After generating three hits in Saturday's 2-1 loss, Robles will receive his third consecutive start, with the two last two coming against right-handed pitching. The Mariners could end up leaning on Robles as the primary replacement in the outfield for Dominic Canzone (adductor), who was placed on the injured list Wednesday.

Three hits in loss Robles went 3-for-4 with a double in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Angels.

Impact Robles had a good game from the No. 9 spot, but the Mariners 4-8 hitters combined to go 0-for-16 with three walks, giving the outfielder little chance to make his hits count. It was his first multi-hit effort since June 14, though Robles has mostly been utilized as a bench bat in his time with the Mariners. He's slashing .259/.359/.389 with one home run, five RBI, six runs scored and six stolen bases over 67 plate appearances between the Nationals and the Mariners this season.

Contributes as in-game replacement Robles entered Tuesday's win over the Padres as a defensive replacement for Dominic Canzone (groin) in the bottom of the fifth inning and went 1-for-2 with an RBI double.

Impact Robles initially slotted into Canzone's right field spot before shifting to center in the bottom of the eighth. The veteran doubled home Cal Raleigh in the ninth inning for the final run of the night as well, and he could be in line for some spot starts if Canzone needs some down time due to his injury.

Impressive in spot start Robles started in center field for Julio Rodriguez (quadriceps) in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays and went 1-for-1 with a solo home run, a stolen base, a walk and an a...

Impact It was an eventful spot start for Robles, who slugged his first home run of the season via a 424-foot shoot to left field in the third inning for the first run of the afternoon. The veteran outfielder then stole third base in the seventh following an inning-opening walk, but he was stranded by a Luke Raley strikeout that ended the frame. Rodriguez did pinch hit for Robles in the eighth inning Sunday after an MRI on his quadriceps came back clean, so the star outfielder could be ready to relegate Robles back to the bench in Tuesday's series opener against the Padres following Monday's team off day.

Loses hold of regular role Robles is out of the lineup for the Wednesday's game against the Twins, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Shortly after his return from the 10-day injured list May 7, Robles appeared to gain traction as an everyday player in the Washington outfield, as he started seven times in an eight-game stretch from May 10 through 18. However, with Joey Gallo coming off the IL this past weekend, Robles has been the odd man out of the lineup while Jesse Winker, Jacob Young and Eddie Rosario have settled in as the Nationals' primary outfielders from left to right. Robles, who has produced just two hits in 23 at-bats in the majors this season, is on the bench for a fourth straight game and looks like he'll be limited to fourth-outfielder duties for the foreseeable future.
