Indians' Daniel Robertson: Picks up fifth consecutive start

Robertson will start in left field and bat ninth Sunday against the Twins, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

With the Indians facing a spate of left-handed pitching of late and Michael Brantley on the paternity list, Robertson will earn his fifth straight start. Robertson has recorded just two hits in 18 at-bats over the last four contests, which won't give him much of a case to hold down anything more than the short end of a platoon in the outfield once Brantley returns.
