Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (hand) got the start in right field and was batting leadoff for Monday's Cactus League game against the San Diego Padres. Robles is back in action to begin the week after he was pulled from Saturday's exhibition game early against the Chicago White Sox when he was hit by a pitch on the right hand. Thankfully, the 27-year-old avoided any broken bones and will be ready for Opening Day this Thursday against the division-rival Athletics. The Dominican outfielder came alive last year after being traded from the Washington Nationals to Seattle, as he slashed .328/.393/.467 with an .860 OPS, four home run, 26 RBI and 30 steals in 77 games for the M's. Fantasy managers shouldn't be banking on a repeat for Robles over a full season, especially since he has limited power, but his speed should play in at least deep-mixed leagues out of the leadoff spot in Seattle.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles' (hand) X-rays were deemed negative. Though he is not in the lineup on Sunday, he's hitting in the cages, per Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com. Robles left Saturday's outing against the Chicago White Sox after getting plunked in the hand with a pitch and looked to be seriously hurting. Fortunately, it appears he can be considered day-to-day. The 27-year-old was a different player last season upon his arrival to Seattle, hitting an eye-popping .328 with 30 steals after the move. Robles is currently hovering around the top 200 picks off the board (~OF30) and projects to give fantasy managers the most considerable boost in the average and steals categories.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (hand) was forced to exit early during Saturday's spring training contest. Robles appeared to be in significant pain after taking a pitch off his hand. He immediately exited the contest and is likely to undergo additional testing. Afterwards, Mariners manager Dan Wilson said he believes Robles has avoided a serious injury. Possibly, Robles misses a day or two, but will hopefully be ready in time for Opening Day. UPDATE: Robles was set to undergo an X-ray on his hand, but the team sounded optimistic that he will be fine.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The Mariners don't have anything to play for anymore after being eliminated from the postseason contention That being said, Seattle has little incentive to play their star players. Mitch Haniger will take over in right field and bat sixth against left-hander JP Sears. Haniger has been bad at the plate this season, but even worse against left-handed pitching, so he can be avoided in all fantasy formats on Friday.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (hand) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday against the New York Yankees at T-Mobile Park. Robles suffered a bruised right hand in Tuesday's contest and didn't play on Wednesday as a result. It appears the 27-year-old needs at least one more day to heal up before returning to the field. In his absence, Dylan Moore will draw into the lineup at second base and will hit eighth against Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt. Jorge Polanco is serving as the designated hitter and is batting sixth for the M's. Moore has a homer and two RBI in two career at-bats against Schmidt, while Polanco has gone hitless in his only at-bat against Schmidt. Robles should be fine to play this weekend on the road in Texas against the division-rival Rangers. He's been excellent since joining Seattle, hitting .333 (66-for-198) with four homers, 20 RBI and 25 steals in 69 games.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (hand) left Tuesday night's game at T-Mobile Park against the visiting New York Yankees with a right-hand contusion, but X-rays came back negative. Robles had an eventful first inning, getting hit by a pitch and then being thrown out while trying to steal home plate. He was serving as the designated hitter in this one and was replaced by pinch-hitter Mitch Garver before his second plate appearance. The 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day, and fantasy managers in deeper leagues should check back to see if he's available to start on Wednesday against the Yanks. Robles has been a lineup regular for the Mariners since being acquired from the Washington Nationals, and he's been excellent in Seattle, slashing .333/.401/.475 with four homers, 20 RBI and 25 steals in 227 trips to the plate over 67 games.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (undisclosed) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. The 27-year-old is back in the mix after exiting early during Sunday's contest. It's uncertain what was wrong with Robles, but he appears to be fine after an off day on Monday. Robles has been one of the hottest hitters in the league over the last few weeks. He's hitting .463 with five RBI and eight steals over his last 13 games. Robles will serve as the designated hitter and bat leadoff against right-hander Luis Gil on Tuesday. Fantasy managers who have Robles rostered can get him back in there.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles continued to excel out of the leadoff spot, going 3-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, and two stolen bases in Thursday's 5-4 loss against the Texas Rangers. Robles has balled out since his move to Seattle, slashing .313/.382/.456 with four homers and 20 steals (zero caught stealing) in 208 PA coming into tonight's game. He has played so well that the team has basically made him an everyday player at this point, and he is mostly hitting at the top of the lineup. His solid average and great speed make him an asset in fantasy leagues, especially category leagues. He is a great stream for the final few weeks for those in need of an outfielder.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (elbow) is starting in right field and is batting leadoff for the M's at T-Mobile Park on Tuesday night against the visiting San Diego Padres and right-hander Yu Darvish for the start of a new series. Robles was hit by a pitch on his elbow last Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals and then missed the final two games of the series. After a scheduled day off on Monday, the 27-year-old is back in action and will be looking for his first career hit against Darvish, who he has faced five times before. The Dominican outfielder has been an offensive spark for Seattle since being acquired in a deadline trade from the Washington Nationals at the end of July. In his 61 games with Seattle, Robles has hit .307/.369/.449 with an .818 OPS, four homers, 13 doubles, 19 RBI and 19 steals in 199 plate appearances.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (elbow) is not in Saturday's lineup as the Mariners continue a three-game set against the St. Louis Cardinals. Robles was removed early from Friday's game after being hit by a pitch in his elbow and will need at least one more day to rest. Fantasy managers should consider the 27-year-old day-to-day for the time being. As a result, Mitch Haniger will cover right field and bat in the eight-hole. Haniger is in the midst of a rough 3-for-20 slump across his past seven games and should be left out of your DFS lineup as he will face St. Louis right-hander Kyle Gibson.
