Earns shaky save in Game 1 Robertson pitched a scoreless ninth inning and earned the save Friday night during Game 1 of the World Series, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two in the 6-5 win o...

Impact Robertson received his first save opportunity of the postseason, and he nearly allowed the Astros to steal the win. After striking out leadoff man Yordan Alvarez, Robertson found himself with the tying run at third and the winning run at second. After three straight balls to Aledmys Diaz, the 37-year-old was able to work back and force a groundout to secure the 1-0 series lead. This was Robertson's 21st save of the season in his 29th opportunity. Despite some shakinesses in the postseason, Robertson has allowed just one run in 4.2 innings and remains a solid option out of the Philadelphia bullpen.

Struggles in Game 2 Robertson (calf) recorded two outs during Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Padres in Game 2 of the NLCS, allowing one run on three hits and zero walks.

Impact Robertson made his first appearance since Game 1 of the wild-card round, when he'd suffered a calf injury. The 37-year-old righty showed signs of rust, as he surrendered a long home run to Manny Machado to lead off the seventh and was only able to record two outs before being pulled by manager Rob Thomson. On a more positive note, Robertson has largely gotten a handle on the control issues that plagued him over the final 11.2 innings in the regular season, when he issued 11 walks -- he's yet to hand out a free pass to any of the eight batters he's faced thus far this postseason.

Good to go Robertson (calf) has made the Phillies' NLCS roster.

Impact Robertson strained his right calf while jumping in the air to celebrate a homer during the wild-card round. The injury was serious enough to keep him off the roster during the NLDS against Atlanta, but his teammates managed to win the series without him, buying him time to return. He'll give the Phillies another option to deploy in the late innings.

Making progress Robertson (calf) has been throwing and could return for the NLCS, should the Phillies advance, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Robertson missed out on the NLDS roster after straining his calf while celebrating a Bryce Harper homer in the wild-card round. The Phillies have managed to take a 2-1 lead in the series despite the absence of one of their best relief options, but they'll need to win one more game if Robertson is to have a chance to pitch again this season.

Can the Phillies Keep Robertson Primed for the Postseason? Phillies’ interim manager Rob Thomson must be careful with David Robertson’s usage out of the bullpen.

Stumbles in loss Robertson (3-1) allowed two runs on two hits while taking a loss against the Mets on Sunday. He struck out two and was charged with a blown save.

Impact It was announced that Robertson wouldn't be Philadelphia's lone closer while Seranthony Dominguez (triceps) is on the injured list, and he didn't improve his stock with Sunday's outing. The 37-year-old righty served up a two-run homer to Mark Canha and was charged with his sixth blown save of the year. Robertson's ERA jumped from 1.86 to 2.20 through 44 appearances on the year. It's worth noting that Brad Hand and Jose Alvarado each threw a scoreless inning Sunday while Connor Brogdon was tagged with three runs in the seventh frame.

Not sole closing option Robertson will not be the sole closer even after Seranthony Dominguez (triceps) was placed on the injured list Sunday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Manager Rob Thompson told reporters that he would continue to mix and match the closer role, and named Connor Brogdon, Brad Hand, Jose Alvarado and Andrew Bellatti as pitchers who could potentially see save opportunities. Robertson may get the first chance, as he recorded a two-inning save in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets. He's seemingly earned the opportunity, as he has turned in seven scoreless appearances -- spanning eight innings -- since joining the Phillies at the trade deadline.

AUGUST 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Two-inning save Robertson walked two and allowed a hit while striking out two across two innings to earn the save in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Impact Robertson entered the game to start the eighth inning and threw 36 pitches to record his 17th save of the season. Seranthony Dominguez (triceps) was unavailable, and if he remains sidelined, Robertson should see a much larger share of the save opportunities. Robertson has yet to surrender a run across eight innings since joining the Phillies at the trade deadline, picking up three saves and two holds with his new team.

MLB Power Rankings: Dodgers holding firm as MLB's top team

Notches 16th save Robertson struck out one batter in a perfect inning and earned a save over the Mets on Friday.

Impact After Seranthony Dominguez tossed a scoreless ninth inning, Robertson finished off a 2-1 victory in the 10th. He's struck out five batters through four shutout innings since joining the Phillies, lowering his season ERA to 2.03 through 44.1 frames. For now, it appears that he and Dominguez will continue splitting save opportunities.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Notches save in Phillies debut Robertson struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his 15th save of the season, and his first as a Phillie, in a 3-1 win over Atlanta.

Impact Brought over from the Cubs at the trade deadline, Robertson was impressive in his Philadelphia debut, fanning Austin Riley and Eddie Rosario while knifing through the heart of Atlanta's batting order. Seranthony Dominguez and Brad Hand could still factor into the closing mix for the Phillies, but Robertson's 152 career saves and strong numbers this season could tip the scales in his favor.
