Sat Mar 920:09Victor Robles Dealing With Hamstring Tightness
Washington Nationals center fielderVictor Robles(hamstring) went 0-2 in Saturday's game against the Houston Astros before being removed from the lineup with hamstring tightness. "It kind of tightened up on him a little bit, so I didn't want to risk it," Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. He was hit by a pitch on Wednesday and has been dealing with a knot ever since. The 26-year-old is considered day-to-day. Robles' 2023 season marked improvements at the plate, slashing .299/.385/.364 with a .341 wOBA across 126 plate appearances. Robles was limited to 36 games last season due to lumbar spine spasms. He will compete withJacob Youngfor the center field job and will likely not be a viable fantasy option (NFBC ADP 677.9) outside of NL-Only League formats.

Thu Feb 1523:23Jacob Young, Victor Robles To Compete For Center Field Job
Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez said on Wednesday that outfielders Jacob Young and Victor Robles will be competing for the center field job this year. It's a surprise after Robles was signed for $2.65 million over the winter after missing most of 2023 due to a back injury. Young started last year at Single-A Wilmington and finished with 33 big-league games in D.C. Martinez clarified his comments a bit on Thursday, saying "Vic has a little bit of the upper hand." Robles has been mostly inconsistent in parts of seven major-league seasons, but he showed improvement before his injury in 2023 by hitting .299 with a .385 on-base percentage in 36 games. Common sense suggests Young needs more time in the minors, so it would be a surprise if Robles wasn't the Nats' starting center fielder on Opening Day, but if he scuffles at all during the year, Young could get the nod.

Sat Feb 1012:22Victor Robles May Have A Short Leash In 2024
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles, who played in just 36 games in 2023 due to a serious back injury, will enter spring training as the team's starting center fielder. However, he isn't very secure in his starting position and will have pressure on him to perform. There was speculation he'd be non-tendered in the offseason, but the Nats agreed to a $2.65 million deal with Robles to avoid arbitration. Washington's outfield-heavy farm system is about to produce several highly touted prospects, with James Wood, Dylan Crews and Robert Hassell III in the mix to make their debuts in 2024. Still only 26 and once a top prospect himself, Robles hasn't lived up to the hype, and his production has been on the decline since hitting 17 homers and stealing 28 bases in 2019. For fantasy purposes, Robles is merely a flier for his speed if he can stay healthy and hold off the youngsters this year.

Wed Dec 13 202318:41Victor Robles Cleared For Winter Ball
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (back), who missed most of the 2023 season with a back injury, was recently cleared to play winter ball. If he can stay healthy, he's expected to be in the team's center field plans, or at least until the young prospects arrive at the big-league level. The 26-year-old specifically dealt with lumbar-spine spasms and played in only 36 games, going 32-for-107 (.299) with no homers, five doubles, a triple, eight RBI, eight stolen bases and 15 runs scored. Robles has mostly disappointed in his seven years in the big leagues with Washington, slashing a weak .238/.312/.360 with 31 home runs, 154 RBI and 66 stolen bases in 516 games. However, he will be useful for his speed in deeper fantasy leagues if he's starting regularly and is healthy to begin the 2024 season.

Wed Nov 15 202314:36Victor Robles, Nationals Avoid Arbitration
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles has avoided arbitration with the club and has inked a one-year deal for the 2024 season. Financial terms have not been disclosed but Robles had his $3.3 million club option declined earlier in the offseason but he remained under club control and arbitration-eligible. He earned $2.325 million in the 2023 season, a successful one before a back injury limited him to just 36 games. A former top prospect, the 26-year-old rebounded from several subpar seasons at the plate to hit .299 with eight stolen bases in those 36 contests but had his season cut short in June following a one-month stint on the injured list. He projects as the everyday center fielder for the Nationals again in the 2024 season.

Thu Nov 2 202314:44Nationals Decline Option On Victor Robles
The Washington Nationals declined their $3.3 million 2024 club option on outfielder Victor Robles (back) on Thursday. Robles remains under team control and is eligible for salary arbitration this offseason. The 26-year-old former top prospect has been a bust for the Nationals to this point and played in only 36 games in 2023 due to a back injury. He finished a .299/.385/.364 slash line with no home runs, five doubles, a triple, eight RBI, eight stolen bases and 15 runs scored in his 126 trips to the plate in his seventh season in D.C. Robles has pretty much only been useful for stolen bases in fantasy leagues. In his seven years with Washington, he's slashed just .238/.312/.360 with 31 home runs, 154 RBI and 66 stolen bases in 516 games.

Wed Jun 21 202314:26Victor Robles Lands On The Injured List
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with back spasms in his lumbar spine. Fellow outfielder Derek Hill has had his contract selected from Triple-A in a corresponding move. It's been a resurgent season for the former top prospect at the plate as Robles is hitting .299 with eight steals and a .749 OPS across 126 trips to the plate. Clearly, a refined swing and approach have paid off as the 26-year-old sports an 8.7% walk rate that is more than double his 4.2% mark from 2022 while his tiny 14.3% K% is miles below his 23.2% mark for his career. Despite his success, his lack of power with zero homers and a minuscule .065 isolated power leaves him safely on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats.

Fri Jun 9 202309:41Victor Robles Set For A Rehab Assignment Thursday
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (back) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester on Thursday, according to MLB.com. The former top prospect has been out of action since May 6 after experiencing back spasms. Robles was slashing .292/.388/.360 with no homers, 13 runs, eight RBI, and eight steals over 31 games. It could still be a couple of weeks before he's back, but when he is, he should continue supplying stolen bases with little power, making him a deeper league option.

Tue May 9 202301:28Victor Robles Lands On Injured List Monday
The Washington Nationals placed outfielder Victor Robles (back) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to May 7) with back spasms on Monday and recalled infielder Jake Alu from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move, according to president of baseball operations and general manager Mike Rizzo. Robles was initially hurt sliding on Saturday against the Diamondbacks, and now he'll miss some time. With the 25-year-old injured, both Alex Call and Stone Garrett should see more playing time in Washington's outfield. Robles is hitting .292 (26-for-89) with eight stolen bases, but he has no home runs and only eight RBI in 31 games. Alu, the club's No. 27 prospect per MLB Pipeline, should operate in a super-utility role for the Nats in the short term.

Mon May 8 202301:46Victor Robles Heading To IL
Washington National outfielder Victor Robles is headed to the 10-day IL with back spasms. Manager Dave Martinez said that Robles will need an IL stint after being injured on a slide in Saturday's game. Robles had been having a decent season before his injury, slashing .292/.388/.360 while turning in eight stolen bases. He isn't going to hit for power, but if he continues hitting for average and stealing bases he could be useful in deeper leagues. Alex Call will likely replace Robles in centerfield, while utility man Jake Alu will be called up to replace his roster spot.

Sat Apr 8 202300:05Victor Robles Drops Three Singles Friday
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles swatted three singles, going 3-for-4 at the plate in a 10-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Friday. Robles also stole a base and walked. At 25 years old, Robles is hitting .375 and has one RBI and one stolen base. So far, he has been a bright spot for the Nationals as the team is off to a terrible start, losing six of their first eight games in 2023.

Tue Mar 14 202312:16Victor Robles Back In Action Against Mets
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (knee) is back in the Grapefruit League lineup on Tuesday against the New York Mets and left-hander David Peterson. Robles is starting in center field and batting seventh in the lineup. It's Robles' first game action since he was carted off the field with a bruised knee in Grapefruit League play last week. The 25-year-old has been hitting well this spring, but his offensive exploits for the Nats the last couple of seasons have been nothing to write home about. In the last three years, Robles has slashed .216/.291/.306 with a .597 OPS, 11 home runs, 67 RBI, 99 runs and 27 stolen bases in 291 games played. He's still young and will see regular playing time, but that's about where the positives end.

Wed Mar 8 202322:10Victor Robles Day-To-Day With Knee Contusion
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (knee) was diagnosed with a left knee contusion after having to be carted off the field in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game, according to manager Dave Martinez. Robles bruised his kneecap when he ran into a pipe behind the outfield wall. He's considered day-to-day for now and is expected to be able to return to the spring lineup by the end of the week. It sounds as though the 25-year-old dodged a bullet and should be ready for Opening Day. Robles is still very young and is excellent on defense for the Nats, but nothing he's done on offense to this point in his career points to a sudden turnaround in 2023.

Wed Mar 8 202314:00Victor Robles Carted Off On Wednesday
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (undisclosed) made a great play in the outfield in Grapefruit League action on Wednesday in the second inning against the Detroit Tigers but fell down after colliding with the wall and was in a lot of pain. Robles tried to walk it off but then fell down again and eventually had to be carted off the field. This could be a serious injury for the 25-year-old outfielder, but we'll away more information on the specific nature of his injury. Robles has mostly been a disappointment for the Nats but still plays great defense, which has kept him in the starting lineup. There's little to like about his bat, especially for a rebuilding Washington club.

Mon Feb 6 202319:40Nationals, Victor Robles Avoid Arbitration
The Washington Nationals and outfielder Victor Robles avoided salary arbitration on Monday by agreeing to a one-year deal with a team option for the 2024 season. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Speed is about the only thing endearing Robles to fantasy managers these days, as he slashed a weak .224/.273/.311 with a career-low .584 OPS, six home runs, 33 RBI, 42 runs scored, 15 stolen bases and 104 strikeouts in 407 plate appearances and 132 games in 2022 in his sixth MLB season. Robles is still young, though, and should be the Nationals starting center fielder to open up the season. His glove and speed will buy him more time as a regular for the rebuilding Nationals.

Wed Oct 5 202200:20Victor Robles Exits Early Tuesday With Right Calf Strain
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (calf) exited Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Mets in Game 1 early with a right calf strain, per The Washington Post's Jesse Dougherty. Robles went 1-for-2 with a double and a strikeout before exiting. The 25-year-old was once a higher-end fantasy prospect but put together another disappointing season, slashing .224/.273/.311 with six home runs, 33 RBI and 15 stolen bases in 407 plate appearances. Fantasy managers should not count on Robles playing in Wednesday's regular season finale.

Fri Sep 16 202216:23Victor Robles Back In Action Friday
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (neck) is back in center field and is hitting eighth on Friday against the Miami Marlins and left-hander Jesus Luzardo. It will be the first time that Robles has been in the starting lineup since Sept. 7 due to neck stiffness. Before the injury, he had gone 3-for-10 with a run scored and a stolen base in five games to begin the month of September. Overall, the 25-year-old Dominican outfielder is hitting a mere .224/.283/.304 with four home runs, 28 RBI, 40 runs scored and 14 stolen bases in 349 plate appearances over 115 games. Robles is only attractive in deeper fantasy leagues because of his speed, and he's a low-upside DFS play.

Thu Sep 8 202216:16Victor Robles Dealing With Neck Stiffness
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (neck) was scratched from the team's starting lineup on Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals due to neck stiffness. With Robles out, Alex Call got the start in left field and was hitting ninth, while Lane Thomas moved to center field and hit leadoff against Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright. Fantasy managers should consider Robles to be day-to-day until we know more about his status moving forward. The 25-year-old Dominican has mostly been useful for his speed in deeper fantasy leagues. In 312 at-bats for the Nats this year, he's hitting just .224/.283/.304 with four home runs, 28 RBI, 40 runs scored and 14 stolen bases.

Sun Jul 31 202211:51Victor Robles Dealing With Hamstring Cramps
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (hamstring) suffered a left hamstring cramp after running down the third out of the eighth inning on Saturday, and it clearly affected his at-bat in the bottom of the inning against the St. Louis Cardinals. As a result, he's not in the starting lineup on Sunday. Robles is hitting just .234 on the year with four home runs, 25 RBI, 32 runs scored and 12 stolen bases in 235 at-bats, but the Nationals recently moved him into the leadoff spot. Lane Thomas is starting in center field and is batting leadoff on Sunday against Cardinals right-hander Andre Pallante. Thomas won't be a bad DFS sleeper, as he has nine homers on the season and has gone 6-for-16 (.375) in seven games over the last two weeks of action.

Mon Jul 25 202221:29Victor Robles To Get Some Leadoff At-Bats
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles is expected to start seeing some starts as the leadoff hitter moving forward, according to manager Dave Martinez. Robles has been improving at the plate of late, hitting .250 with two homers, four RBI and two steals over his past seven games. Overall, Robles has a .236 average, three homers, 28 runs, 24 RBI and 11 steals on the season. With an 86th-percentile sprint speed and a 28-steal season on his resume, Robles would be in line to score plenty of runs and come close to a 25-steal season from the leadoff position over the second half of the season if he sticks in the spot.
