Thu Jan 2520:47David Robertson Inks One-Year Deal With Rangers
Free-agent reliever David Robertson has signed a one-year deal in the $11-12 million range with the reigning World Series champion Texas Rangers. The veteran signed a one-year deal with the Mets prior to the 2023 season and wound up tossing a tidy 2.05 ERA across 40 appearances with the club. However, Robertson was part of the Mets' trade-deadline binge as he was dealt to the Miami Marlins where he regressed to a 5.06 ERA across 22 outings spanning 21 1/3 innings of work. All told, the 38-year-old owns a 2.90 career ERA across 793 big-league outings, locking down 175 saves in the process. He should compete with Jose Leclerc for save opportunities at the back end of the Rangers' bullpen while Josh Sborz will also remain in the mix.

Sun Aug 27 202314:54David Robertson Loses Closer Gig For The Marlins
Miami Marlins relief pitcher David Robertson has lost the closer role, according to Craig Mish of Sports Grid. This comes in the wake of the veteran reliever blowing another save on Saturday against the Washington Nationals. Robertson has an 0-3 record, a 7.20 ERA, and has blown three saves since coming over to the Marlins right before the trade deadline. This really lowers his fantasy ceiling, particularly in leagues that only count saves. Tanner Scott looks to be the best bet for saves in Miami the rest of the way and is worth adding in 12-team mixed leagues. Scott owns a 2.59 ERA and 1.085 WHIP over 59 innings of relief this season.

Wed Aug 23 202308:23David Robertson Closes Out Tuesday's Win
Miami Marlins right-hander David Robertson was tasked with the ninth inning on Tuesday when his club defeated the San Diego Padres 3-0. He allowed no runs on one walk and no hits while striking out one to earn the save. Robertson now has 18 saves on the campaign to go along with a 2.89 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, and 26.2% strikeout rate across 53 innings. Since coming over to Miami near the trade deadline, the 38-year-old veteran has taken over the closer role and should remain in that spot for the rest of the season, making him a valuable option in all formats.

Wed Aug 9 202308:08David Robertson Picks Up Tuesday's Save
Miami Marlins right-hander David Robertson earned the save on Tuesday, his 16th of the season and second as a member of his new club. The veteran hurler went one inning, walked one and struck out two to close out the 3-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Robertson owns a 2.63 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 28.0% strikeout rate across 48 innings this season, as he remains a trusted arm even at age 38. The former New York Met has taken over the closer role in Miami, which was previously held by A.J. Puk. Fantasy managers can expect Robertson to continue getting most ninth-inning opportunities.

Wed Aug 2 202300:29David Robertson Blows First Save As A Marlin Tuesday
Miami Marlins closer David Robertson blew his first save as a Marlin and fourth of the season in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Phillies. Robertson came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by one. He allowed a leadoff walk, got the first out on a strikeout, allowed a game-tying double, and allowed the go-ahead, two-run home run before getting the final two outs on flyouts. Despite this slip-up, Robertson has been a consistent fantasy option all season long for the Mets and Marlins, converting 15 of 19 save opportunities with a 2.54 ERA. Both of his appearances with the Marlins have been save opportunities, so it appears that he should continue to serve as a reliable closer for fantasy managers.

Fri Jul 28 202317:06Mets Not Anointing A Closer After Trading David Robertson
New York Mets manager Buck Showalter said he won't "anoint" a closer after the team traded reliever David Robertson to the Miami Marlins on Thursday night. "All options are on the table. You might be surprised who might emerge," Showalter said. With that said, right-hander Adam Ottavino (39 career saves) has the most closing experience in New York's bullpen, although left-hander Brooks Raley got the save on Thursday night. Edwin Diaz (knee) is likely to miss the entire year after injuring his knee in the World Baseball Classic this spring, and Robertson had been serving as the primary closer up until now. Fantasy managers in need of saves down the stretch should consider both Ottavino and Raley, with Ottavino being the favorite for more save opportunities.

Fri Jul 28 202301:04Marlins Acquire David Robertson In Trade
The Miami Marlins have traded for New York Mets relief pitcher David Robertson in exchange for infielder Marco Vargas, Miami's No. 18 prospect, and catcher Ronald Hernandez, their No. 21 prospect. It initially comes off as a rather underwhelming haul on New York's end for one of the top relievers available on the market, and the Marlins significantly augment their bullpen with the move. Robertson teams up with A.J. Puk to presumably to function as co-closers for the Fish depending on matchup. The overall fantasy value of both high-leverage arms may slightly diminish as they figure to split save opportunities. As for the Mets, their disappointing season seems to have forced the organization to become deadline sellers. Adam Ottavino is well worth an add off waiver wires as the club's new potential favorite for saves on the depth chart alongside Brooks Raley, who is also worth a look in deeper leagues after nabbing Thursday night's save.

Wed Jul 19 202308:05David Robertson Earns Tuesday's Save
New York Mets reliever David Robertson closed out Tuesday's 11-10 victory over the Chicago White Sox. He went one inning and allowed one run on two walks and a hit but did enough to earn the save, his 13th of the season. Robertson now owns an outstanding 2.13 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 28.1% strikeout rate over 42.1 innings. Despite the lower save total, fantasy managers should view the right-hander as the club's closer, and he should be rostered in every format.

Wed Jul 5 202300:39David Robertson Earns One-Out Save Tuesday
New York Mets relief pitcher David Robertson picked up his 12th save of the season in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Diamondbacks. Robertson entered the game up by four with two outs and runners on first and second. He allowed a single to load the bases, walked a run in, but induced a groundout to end the game. The Mets have been a big disappointment this season but Robertson has pitched well overall, converting all but three save opportunities with a 1.93 ERA and 10.61 K/9 rate. He is certainly worth a roster spot in most fantasy leagues, but he may not yield as much fantasy value as hoped for if the Mets continue to struggle.

Sun Jun 25 202310:15David Robertson Handles Phillies For Five-Out Save
New York Mets relief pitcher David Robertson nailed down his 11th save of the season in Saturday's 4-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. The 38-year-old was summoned during the eighth inning to help Adam Ottavino out of a jam, inducing a timely double play to end the frame. Robertson allowed a Brandon Marsh single in the ninth, but generated another DP to close it out for the Mets. It was the right-hander's first save of the month with his last coming on May 31 largely in part due to New York's June swoon. Robertson holds an excellent 1.64 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 33 innings as the primary closer in Queens.

Fri Jun 9 202301:59David Robertson Blows Save Thursday
New York Mets right-handed pitcher David Robertson took a blown save Thursday in a 13-10 loss against the Atlanta Braves. This was a tough one for the Mets as a whole, as they blew a three-run lead for the third straight game against their division rivals. Robertson had his share of the blame, as allowed a game-tying homer to Orlando Arcia with one out in the ninth. He was otherwise solid, as he struck out three in his 1 innings of work. The 38-year-old is now 10-for-12 in save opportunities. Although he has been a little shaky of late, Robertson should continue to see most of the Mets save chances.

Thu Jun 1 202300:50David Robertson Records 10th Save Of Season Wednesday
On Wednesday, New York Mets pitcher David Robertson took the mound and hurled a flawless ninth inning, preserving a two-run lead against the Phillies and earning his 10th save of the season. Robertson, in the frame, struck out Edmundo Sosa and Bryson Stott. Despite allowing three earned runs and eight hits in his last seven outings, Robertson's ERA stands at an outstanding 1.48, a testament to his overall effectiveness on the mound.

Wed May 31 202300:46David Robertson Notches Ninth Save Of Season Tuesday
New York Mets relief pitcher David Robertson picked up his ninth save of the season in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Phillies. The veteran came in to pitch the top of the ninth up by two. He got the first out on a strikeout, allowed a single, and ended the game on a ground-ball double play. Robertson has seen the majority of save opportunities for the Mets this season and has converted all but one of them with a 1.54 ERA and 10.41 K/9 rate. Adam Ottavino has five saves of his own and carries fantasy value, but Robertson is the clear front-runner in the Mets' bullpen for fantasy managers at this time.

Thu May 18 202323:03David Robertson Secures Save No. 8
New York Mets reliever David Robertson allowed one hit while striking out one across a scoreless inning to earn the save during Thursday's 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. He entered the game in the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead. The 38-year-old needed 11 pitches to make quick work of the Rays to secure his eighth save of the season. Robertson is a perfect 8-for-8 in save opportunities with a 0.95 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and a 25: 7 K: BB across 19 innings in 2023. Fantasy managers should continue to roll with Robertson while he's handling closing duties for the Mets.

Wed May 10 202321:45David Robertson Picks Up Seventh Save
New York Mets right-hander David Robertson picked up his seventh save of the season after tossing a scoreless ninth to close out the Reds 2-1 on Wednesday. Robertson has inarguably been the most effective Mets' reliever after signing a one-year $10 million deal over the offseason. He owns a 0.59 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, with 20 strikeouts and five walks across 15 1/3 innings. He also displays a 32.7% strikeout rate, a 9.1% walk rate, and a .163 opponent average. With star closer Edwin Diaz expected to miss the season, Robertson was next in line to fill in as the closer. After a month of play, it's fair to say that the 38-year-old has done a solid job of replacing Diaz, and has been one of the most dominant relievers in the game.

Fri Apr 28 202300:58David Robertson Picks Up Fifth Save
New York Mets right-handed pitcher David Robertson tossed a perfect ninth inning to pick up his fifth save of the season, preserving a 9-8 lead over the Washington Nationals. Robertson picked up two strikeouts and didn't allow a baserunner in his inning of work. The 38-year-old veteran has thrown it back to his prime this season, posting an impeccable 0.79 ERA and 0.71 WHIP while racking up 14 K over 11 IP. He continues to split the closer role with Adam Ottavino, who has been good as well, but not quite on Robertson's level. Both should be rostered as they should see a good amount of save opportunities on a good Mets team.

Sat Apr 15 202322:08David Robertson Picks Up Third Save
New York Mets right-hander David Robertson allowed one hit while striking out one across a scoreless inning to earn the save during Saturday's 3-2 win over the A's. He entered the game in the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead. The 38-year-old allowed a leadoff single but bounced back to retire the next three batters to earn his third save. Robertson has yet to allow a run and owns a 0.55 WHIP over 7 1/3 innings in 2023. Fantasy managers should continue to roll with Robertson in all league formats.

Sat Apr 8 202321:21David Robertson Notches Second Save On Saturday
New York Mets right-hander David Robertson struck out one over a perfect inning to pick up the save during Saturday's 5-2 win over the Miami Marlins. The 38-year-old entered the ninth inning to protect a three-run lead. Robertson retired all three batters he faced to earn his second save of the season. The veteran right-hander has yet to allow a run over four appearances in 2023. He owns a 0.25 WHIP and four strikeouts over four innings. Robertson is the Mets' primary closer and should be started and rostered in all league formats.

Wed Apr 5 202321:37David Robertson Pitches In The Eighth Inning Wednesday
New York Mets right-hander David Robertson threw a scoreless eighth inning in a 7-6 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. Robertson did not allow a baserunner and needed just 12 pitches to get through the inning. The appearance is notable because the Mets chose not to deploy Robertson for a potential save situation in the ninth inning, instead turning to Adam Ottavino, who promptly blew the save by serving up a walk-off solo homer. Robertson has been the Mets' best reliever in the early stages of the season but there's a chance he is used more in high-leverage situations and not exclusively as a closer for New York.

Fri Mar 31 202300:10David Robertson Converts Opening Day Save
New York Mets relief pitcher David Robertson closed out the team's Opening Day game against the Miami Marlins on Thursday, throwing a perfect inning and recording two punchouts while picking up the save. This is a relieving development for those that drafted Robertson expecting him to take over Edwin Diaz's closing role, as manager Buck Showalter had recently stated he wasn't sure who the closer would be. It appears Robertson will at least get the first crack at it, and if the 37-year-old can pitch as well as he did last year, where he posted 20 saves to go with a 2.40 ERA and 1.16 WHIP, he should be able to hold onto the role for some time.
