David Robertson - Page 10 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Locks down fifth save Robertson pitched 1.1 scoreless innings to record the save in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Brewers. He walked one and struck out three.

Impact Marcus Stroman dazzled across seven scoreless innings for the Cubs, and then Rowan Wick and Robertson shut the door on Milwaukee. Wick has been good with a 1.23 ERA, but Robertson has been even better with a 0.00 ERA across 10 innings of work, and the veteran has emerged as the team's closer. He leads the team with five saves, while Wick and Mychal Givens have one apiece.

Earns win Wednesday Robertson (1-0) pitched 1.1 scoreless innings of relief with three strikeouts to earn the win Wednesday against Atlanta.

Impact The Cubs used Robertson to record the final out in the bottom of the eighth inning, then let the veteran work the ninth as well. The righty continued to cruise, as his ERA is still at 0.00 to go with 11 strikeouts across 8.2 innings this season. Robertson left the game with the teams tied 3-3 but earned the win when Chicago scored three times in the top of the 10th. Rowan Wick picked up his first save of the season with Robertson pulled after retiring his four batters on 18 pitches.

Secures fourth save Robertson worked around a walk to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and earn the save in Monday's win over the Rays. He struck out one.

Impact Robertson has been brilliant to begin the season, as he's now logged five scoreless innings to go along with four saves. The veteran entered camp seemingly behind Rowan Wick in the Chicago bullpen, but to this point, Robertson has been the clear-cut top option to close games. Mychal Givens has one save, and no one else on the roster has any through 10 contests.

Records third save of season Robertson earned the save Sunday against Colorado after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, striking out one.

Earns second save Robertson pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Pirates.

Impact Robertson has now recorded each of the Cubs' first two saves of the season, so it looks like he's ahead of Rowan Wick and others in the bullpen pecking order. Manager David Ross may still mix and match depending on matchups moving forward, but the veteran righty appears to be the preferred Chicago reliever from a fantasy perspective at the moment.

Picks up first save Robertson worked around a hit to pitch a scoreless inning and earn the save in Thursday's win over the Brewers.

Impact It was Robertson, not Rowan Wick, who got the first save opportunity of 2022 for the Cubs. Wick, who entered camp as the presumptive closer, was called on in the eighth inning. Manager David Ross may mix and match at the end of the game, so this will be a situation worth monitoring. The 36-year-old Robertson would obviously see a big spike in fantasy value if he keeps seeing regular save opportunities.

Cubs RH David Robertson plans to be ready for opening day

David Robertson is back in camp with the Chicago Cubs after going home to be with his wife, Erin, for the birth of their third child

MARCH 29, 2022 • Associated Press

Back at camp Robertson (personal) faced hitters in a live batting practice session Tuesday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact After recently taking a few days away from the team to witness the birth of his child, Robertson is back at Cubs camp and has resumed gearing up for the regular season. The workouts he missed likely won't put him too far behind in his preparation for Opening Day, so Robertson should remain on track to break camp with the club. He linked up with the Cubs on a one-year, $3.5 million deal earlier in March after impressing during his stint with the United States team in the Summer Olympics in Tokyo last year before he joined the Rays for the final month of the 2021 campaign.

Away from camp Robertson is away from camp for the birth of his child and is expected back Monday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Robertson was originally expected to throw a bullpen session Sunday, but that is being pushed back to Tuesday due to his absence. There is no indication that this will impact his availability for Opening Day.

Impact Robertson spent the first seven years of his career with the Yankees, but he'll now join his fourth team in as many seasons. The right-hander made 12 appearances (one start) for the Rays last year and recorded a 4.50 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 12 innings. The Cubs don't have a particularly deep bullpen heading into 2022, so it's possible that Robertson could work his way into a late-relief role once the regular season gets underway.
