Braves' Daniel Robertson: Links up with Atlanta
Rotowire
Robertson signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Monday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Brewers' Daniel Robertson: On track to secure roster spot
Rotowire
Robertson "appears safely on his way" to earning a spot on the Brewers' Opening Day roster, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.
Robertson has not made a lot of noise this spring, but he has quietly posted a .967 OPS, which is boosted significantly by a 6:1 BB:K. Robertson might not play regularly at any one position, but he can fill all three infield spots left of first base and can even be used in the outfield in a pinch, and that's the type of versatility the Brewers prefer from their reserves.
