Placed on 15-day injured list Robles was placed on the 15-day injured list with back spasms Saturday, retroactive to May 25.
Impact Robles hasn't pitched in nearly a week, and his lack of appearances was apparently due to back spasms which will keep him sidelined until at least early June. The right-hander has converted two of five save chances this year while posting a 2.65 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 17 innings over 16 appearances. Most of Boston's other late relievers have struggled recently, but John Schreiber, Matt Barnes and Matt Strahm will likely be in the mix for additional save opportunities while Robles is unavailable.

Notches second save Robles gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Monday to record his second save of the season in a 6-3 win over the Astros.
Impact He needed only 10 pitches (seven strikes) to breeze through the outing, inducing a groundball double play from Jose Altuve to erase a Mauricio Dubon single. Robles now leads Boston in saves, but with Matt Barnes, Jake Diekman and Matt Strahm all having one each, there's still very little clarity on roles at the back of the Red Sox bullpen.

Blows save chance Robles allowed one earned run while allowing a hit and a walk to blow the save Saturday against the White Sox.
Impact Robles was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning. He surrendered a leadoff walk and then a double to ultimately surrender the game-tying run. Robles has now failed to convert each of his last two save chances, which could mean the team looks towards Jake Diekman or another bullpen arm to fill the closer role moving forward.

Unable to close out Orioles Robles allowed a run on two hits in two-thirds of an inning in Friday's 3-1 win over Baltimore.
Impact Robles was the reliever of choice to start the ninth inning with Boston up, 3-0, but he surrendered hits to the first two batters faced, including a Ryan Mountcastle home run. After getting a couple of right-handed batters out, Robles was replaced by lefty Matt Strahm to face lefty batters. After a dominant start to the season, Robles has hit a bump with four runs (one earned) allowed on five hits and two home runs over 3.1 innings.

Unlucky in blown save Robles allowed three unearned runs on one hit while striking out two over two-thirds of an inning and was tagged with a blown save in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to Tampa Bay.
Impact Robles was the pitcher of choice after Boston grabbed a 2-0 lead in the top of the 10th inning, and he was in control. The right-hander fanned the first two batters faced before balking the ghost runner to third. It looked like a Boston win when he induced a grounder to second base, but Trevor Story's throw was wide to the bag, allowing a run to score and giving the Rays life. Kevin Kiermaier then took Robles deep to right field... game over. Despite the outcome, Robles has been dominant this season and hasn't given up an earned since August of 2021.

Works his magic again Robles did not allow a runner and struck out one over a scoreless 1.1 innings in Friday's 4-3 win over Tampa Bay.
Impact Robles got the final out of the seventh inning then dispatched the Rays in order in the eighth to preserve Boston's lead heading into the ninth. It was yet another dominant performance for Robles, who hasn't allowed a baserunner over his last 4.1 innings and is unscored upon over 6.1 IP. Despite entering in the seventh inning, the right-hander remains in the mix to save games.

Gets win in dominant effort Robles (1-0) earned the win Tuesday when he struck out two over 1.2 scoreless relief innings in a 2-1 victory over the Blue Jays.
Impact Robles, who was a late addition to spring training due to visa issues and nearly left off the Opening Day roster, has been dominant early on for Boston. He hasn't allowed a run over five innings (four appearances), which extends a streak going back to last season. The 31-year-old reliever has not allowed an earned run in his last 19 regular-season outings (18.2 innings), during which he's posted a 0.70 WHIP, a .098 batting average against, 22 strikeouts and seven walks. The backend of Boston's bullpen was unsettled to start the season, but it looks like Robles and Jake Diekman (picked up his fourth hold Tuesday) will be featured prominently in the last third of games.

Earns four-out save Robles struck out one while not allowing a baserunner across 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save Wednesday against the Tigers.
Impact Robles was called upon to end an ugly eighth inning for the Boston bullpen, during which Kutter Crawford and Jake Diekman combined to allow three earned runs. Robles induced a pop out to end the frame, and he remained in the game for the ninth inning and retired the Tigers in order. Boston doesn't seem to have a defined closer early on this season, as Diekman earned the first save of the campaign. Meanwhile, Garrett Whitlock pitched the final four innings of Tuesday's win over Detroit, though he was credited with a win rather than a save.

Gets game into extras Robles allowed a hit and an intentional walk while striking out two over one inning in Friday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Yankees.
Impact Robles entered the game in the ninth inning of a 4-4 game and worked out of a two-on jam by striking out Giancarlo Stanton on three pitches. The pitcher was a late arrival to training camp and made just two Grapefruit League appearances before being added to the Opening Day roster. There had been some discussion about leaving him off the roster for a short period of time, but the Red Sox determined he was ready to pitch and, apparently, deserved usage in key situations. Boston manager Alex Cora has not named a closer, but it's clear Robles will be entrusted to late-game use.
