• Mariners' Victor Robles: Another stolen base Wednesday

  Rotowire Jul 25, 2024

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

• Mariners' Victor Robles: Keeps rolling in Sunday's win

  Rotowire Jul 22, 2024

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

• Mariners' Victor Robles: Swipes two bases Saturday

  Rotowire Jul 21, 2024

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

• Mariners' Victor Robles: Pair of hits in loss

  Rotowire Jul 20, 2024

  Robles went 2-for-3 in a loss to the Astros on Friday. Robles drew the start in right field with Dominic Canzone (thigh) starting the second half of the season on the IL, and the veteran contributed the only multi-hit effort on a quiet night for Mariners' bats. Robles has proven a steady contributor when given the opportunity since his arrival to Seattle, as he now boasts 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 Robles keeps producing at the plate.

• Mariners' Victor Robles: Two steals Sunday

  Rotowire Jul 15, 2024

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

• Mariners' Victor Robles: Getting third straight start

  Rotowire Jul 14, 2024

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

• Mariners' Victor Robles: Three hits in loss

  Rotowire Jul 14, 2024

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

• Mariners' Victor Robles: Contributes as in-game replacement

  Rotowire Jul 10, 2024

  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. 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 downtime due to his injury.

• Mariners' Victor Robles: Impressive in spot start

  Rotowire Jul 8, 2024

  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 additional run. 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.

• Mariners' Victor Robles: Swipes first bag with Seattle

  Rotowire Jun 22, 2024

  Robles went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Marlins. Getting the start in left field and batting eighth, Robles swiped his fifth bag of the season, but his first since joining the Mariners in early June. The 27-year-old has looked good so far in his short-side platoon role with Seattle, batting .353 (6-for-17) with two doubles.

• Mariners' Victor Robles: Makes most of start

  Rotowire Jun 15, 2024

  Robles started in left field during the Mariners' win over the Rangers on Friday and went 2-for-2 before being lifted for pinch hitter Luke Raley in the bottom of the sixth inning. Robles was in the starting lineup on consecutive nights for the second time since joining the Mariners on June 4. He was able to contribute the first multi-hit effort of his brief Seattle tenure, albeit with one of those knocks being a controversial bunt single where Robles may have run inside the base line. The veteran has shown some encouraging signs of life at the plate since donning his new uniform, going 4-for-11 with a pair of doubles, a hit-by-pitch, an RBI and a run across seven games overall.

• Mariners' Victor Robles: First hit with M's

  Rotowire Jun 8, 2024

  Robles went 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a run in a loss to the Royals on Friday. The recent addition played a part in the Mariners' seven-run first inning with his first hit as a member of the team, knocking in Mitch Haniger with a double. Robles has appeared in each of the last three games after sitting out Tuesday's series opener against the Athletics following his signing earlier in the day, and Friday marked his second straight start in left field.

• Mariners' Victor Robles: Inks big-league deal with M's

  Rotowire Jun 4, 2024

  Robles signed a major-league contract with the Mariners on Tuesday and was added to the team's active roster. Robles and Seattle came to terms on a deal just days after the veteran outfielder was waived by Washington. He slashed .120/.281/.120 in 33 plate appearances with the Nationals and figures to serve as the primary backup to Julio Rodriguez in center field while mixing in at the other outfield positions against RHP.

• Victor Robles: Set to sign on with Seattle

  Rotowire Jun 3, 2024

  The Mariners are nearing a major-league contract with Robles, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. The deal is expected to be finalized ahead of Tuesday's series opener in Oakland, with Robles taking the 26-man active roster spot of outfielder Jonatan Clase, who was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday. The Nationals released Robles over the weekend after he went just 3-for-25 at the plate this season. The 27-year-old had a promising rookie season back in 2019, but he's managed an underwhelming .609 OPS since the start of the 2020 campaign while also dealing with numerous injuries. Robles is an odd fit in Seattle since his center-field defense is his best asset, and the Mariners already have Julio Rodriguez at that spot in the outfield. Robles could see some starts at the corner-outfield spots against left-handed pitching.

• Nationals' Victor Robles: Waived by Nats

  Rotowire Jun 1, 2024

  The Nationals requested unconditional release waivers on Robles on Saturday. Robles was designated for assignment Monday, and the Nationals will now opt to let him go rather than sending him outright to one of their minor-league affiliates. The 27-year-old has slashed .120/.281/.120 across 33 plate appearances in the majors this season, but he should be able to contribute for another outfield-needy organization -- even if only in the minors.

• Nationals' Victor Robles: Designated for assignment

  Rotowire May 27, 2024

  Robles was designated for assignment by the Nationals on Monday. Once considered one of the top prospects in baseball, Robles put up 17 homers and 28 steals in 2019 at the age of 22, but he was never able to come close to replicating that level of production in the years that followed. The Nationals have essentially decided to part ways with him to accommodate the return of Lane Thomas (knee) from the injured list, but another team could take a chance on Robles on waivers. Robles, now 27, has gone just 3-for-25 with four steals in limited action this season.

• Nationals' Victor Robles: Roster spot in jeopardy

  Rotowire May 24, 2024

  Robles could be placed on waivers when Lane Thomas (knee) is deemed ready to come off the injured list, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports. Jacob Young has become the everyday center fielder, and while Eddie Rosario and Jesse Winker have been erratic at the plate, they could have trade value later in the season if they heat up at the right time. That leaves Robles, who doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, as the odd man out in the Nationals' outfield. The 27-year-old has done little to justify keeping him on the 40-man roster, batting .087 (2-for-23) when he's been healthy in 2024. If the front office decides his defensive value as a fifth outfielder is worth keeping around, Joey Meneses could be optioned instead.

• Nationals' Victor Robles: Loses hold of regular role

  Rotowire May 22, 2024

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

  Robles is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader with the White Sox. Robles will take a seat after he went 1-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly in the Nationals' 6-3 win over Chicago in Tuesday's matinee. Eddie Rosario will slide over to right field while Ildemaro Vargas enters the lineup in left field and bats eighth against the White Sox.

• Nationals' Victor Robles: Tough day in Sunday's loss

  Rotowire May 13, 2024

  Robles went 0-for-3 and committed an error in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox. Getting the start in center field and batting ninth, Robles' fielding error in the second inning led to a three-run inning for Boston that proved to be the difference in a 3-2 loss. The 26-year-old outfielder also made a baserunning gaffe in the third, as he attempted to go from first to third on a single even though third base was already occupied by Riley Adams. Robles has started three straight games since coming off the IL, but his job security was low even before Sunday's performance. With Joey Gallo (shoulder) closing in on a return from the IL, Robles figures to find himself on the bench in a short-side platoon role.
