Victor Robles's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (hip) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Robles has been out of the lineup since he was forced to exit early on Tuesday due to a hip issue. Luckily, it sounds like Robles is good to go after a few days off to rest. He'll bat leadoff and play center field versus right-hander Tyler Phillips on Friday. Fantasy managers can get him back in the lineup on Friday.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (hip) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox. Luke Raley will take his place in center field and will bat sixth for the M's against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. Third baseman Josh Rojas will man the leadoff spot. Robles left Tuesday's contest against Boston early with a hip injury, but manager Scott Servais said it will only cost Robles one game. The 27-year-old should be back in action in center field for Seattle for Friday's series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies after Thursday's scheduled off day. Robles is seeing regular action in center field with Julio Rodriguez (ankle) on the injured list and he's taken advantage by going 27-for-75 (.360) with two homers, six doubles, five RBI and nine stolen bases in his first 33 games with the club.

The Seattle Mariners are set to sign outfielder Victor Robles after he was designated for assignment by the Washington Nationals over the weekend, according to Adam Jude of the Seattle Times. Robles is expected to join the Mariners on Tuesday before the team's three-game series against the Oakland A's kicks off. The 27-year-old struggled mightily at the plate for the Nationals this year, hitting just .120 with two RBI and four stolen bases. However, Seattle will take a chance on a player who was a top-five prospect in baseball just a few years ago. Right now, Robles isn't worth a waiver wire add in fantasy, but maybe a change of scenery could help him reach his potential.

The Washington Nationals have released outfielder Victor Robles on Saturday as the former top prospect continues to struggle at the plate. After several seasons of lackluster offensive output, Robles hit .299 alongside a .749 OPS across 36 games in the 2023 season but back issues put a strong halt on his campaign. Robles also showcased his power/speed potential with 17 homers and 28 stolen bases back in the 2019 season but failed to build on that potential. Still just 27 years old, Robles hit just .120 without a homer across 14 games and 33 plate appearances in the 2024 season while an ankle injury suffered in early April hasn't helped his cause. Considering his highly-regarded defense in center field and solid base-running skills, it's likely a club will take a chance on Robles as a low-risk flier.

The Washington Nationals designated outfielder Victor Robles for assignment on Monday in order to make room on the active roster for outfielder Lane Thomas (knee), who has been reinstated from the injured list. It appears the Nationals have finally run out of patience with Robles, who was once one of their prized prospects from the Dominican Republic. Outside of his 17-homer, 28-steal season in 2019, Robles has fell well short of expectations in the organization and has hit just .236/.311/.356 with 31 home runs, 156 RBI, 70 stolen bases and 213 runs scored in his eight years in the league. Before getting cut on Monday, he was hitting just .120 (3-for-25) with no homers, two RBI and four steals in 33 plate appearances this year. It remains to be seen if the 27-year-old will change scenery or stick with the Nats in the minors.
