Chuckie Robinson - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Selected from OKC The Dodgers selected Robinson's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

Impact The 31-year-old will join the big club for the first time this season to make up for the loss of Will Smith, who landed on the injured list Thursday with neck inflammation. Robinson owns a .763 OPS through 84 plate appearances at Triple-A this season but isn't likely to receive many at-bats with the Dodgers while working as a backup to Dalton Rushing.

Promotion coming The Dodgers will select Robinson's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Robinson will return to the majors as the roster replacement for Will Smith (neck), who is set to move to the injured list. Robinson has slashed .274/.338/.466 across 80 plate appearances while spending the entire season at Triple-A, though he isn't likely to receive many reps in the big leagues while Dalton Rushing works as the primary catcher.

Sent out of big-league camp The Dodgers reassigned Robinson to minor-league camp Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Impact Robinson logged two plate appearances in the majors with the Dodgers last season, but after re-signing with the organization on a minor-league deal over the winter, he never seemed like a realistic candidate to crack the Opening Day roster. The journeyman backstop is expected to begin the season at Triple-A Oklahoma City and will likely need either Will Smith or Dalton Rushing to succumb to an injury before he gets another big-league call-up.

Signs with Dodgers The Dodgers signed Robinson to a minor-league contract Dec. 18.

Impact Robinson spent most of 2025 at the Triple-A level but did appear in one game with the Dodgers before being removed from their 40-man roster. The 31-year-old will give the organization some experienced catching depth at Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Joins new organization Atlanta claimed Robinson off waivers from the Dodgers on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Impact Gwinnett's season came to an end Sunday, so unless Atlanta recalls him at some point during the final week of the campaign, Robinson will have to wait until 2026 to make his organizational debut. The 30-year-old catcher holds a career .131/.169/.192 slash line over 138 plate appearances in parts of three seasons in the majors across stops with the Reds, White Sox and Dodgers.

Dodgers put All-Star catcher Will Smith on 10-day injured list with bruised right hand

All-Star catcher Will Smith has been placed on the 10-day injured list by the Los Angeles Dodgers because of a bruised right hand

SEPTEMBER 14, 2025 • Associated Press

Summoned to Los Angeles The Dodgers recalled Robinson from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Impact Robinson's presence on the big-league roster is needed with Will Smith (hand) landing on the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. Robinson has a career .364 OPS over 51 major-league games, so fantasy managers need not rush to the waiver wire to pick him up. He's slated to work as the Dodgers' backup catcher behind Ben Rortvedt until Dalton Rushing (lower leg) or Smith is ready to return.

Optioned to Triple-A The Dodgers optioned Robinson to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Impact Robinson was called up by the Dodgers on Saturday to serve as an emergency catcher due to the absences of Will Smith (hand) and Dalton Rushing (shin). Even with Rushing on the 10-day IL and Smith day-to-day with his injury, the Dodgers needed to make room on the 28-man roster for a returning Max Muncy (oblique). Robinson will head back to Oklahoma City, where he has slashed .259/.344/.361 with four home runs and 28 RBI in 189 plate appearances.

Back in majors The Dodgers selected Robinson's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Robinson will join the Dodgers as emergency catcher depth with Will Smith (hand) and Dalton Rushing (shin) both battling injuries. Ben Rortvedt is likely to receive the bulk of starts behind the dish until one of the injured backstops returns.

Impact Robinson cleared waivers and will now stick in the Dodgers' organization after being designated for assignment Tuesday. He's unlikely to find his way to the majors barring an injury, with Will Smith and Dalton Rushing atop the team's depth chart at catcher.

Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow is optimistic about recovery from shoulder injury

Pushed off 40-man The Dodgers designated Robinson for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Just three days after being claimed off waivers from the Angels, Robinson will find himself on the waiver wire once again as the roster casualty necessary to clear 40-man space for Jose Urena.

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow has been transferred to the 60-day injured list

MAY 31, 2025 • Associated Press

Claimed off waivers by Dodgers The Dodgers claimed Robinson off waivers Saturday.

Impact Robinson was DFA'd by the Angels on Wednesday, but he'll remain in Los Angeles after being picked up by the Dodgers. The 30-year-old catcher slashed .272/.315/.388 with one home run and 18 RBI over 112 plate appearances with Triple-A Salt Lake this season. Robinson will likely remain in the minors, but he could receive a call up to the big leagues if Will Smith or Dalton Rushing were to miss time. Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move to make room on the 40-man roster for Robinson.

MAY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Jettisoned from 40-man roster The Angels designated Robinson for assignment Wednesday.

Impact The Angels DFA'd Robinson and Tim Anderson, which made room on the 40-man roster for Scott Kingery and Robert Stephenson (elbow). Robinson was traded by the White Sox to the Angels in December, but the 30-year-old catcher was unable to crack the Halos' Opening Day roster. Robinson is slashing .272/.315/.388 with one home run and 18 RBI across 112 plate appearances in Triple-A this season, and he could garner interest from teams looking to add depth behind the plate.
