Daniel Robertson: Moves to independent league
Robertson signed with the Sugar Land Skeeters of the independent Atlantic League on Tuesday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Diamondbacks' Daniel Robertson: Signs minor-league deal with Arizona
Robertson signed a minor-league deal with the Diamondacks on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.
Robertson has earned brief stints in the majors in each of the last four seasons, each with a diferent organization. The 32-year-old journeyman owns a .262/.314/.328 career slash line in 386 plate appearances. He doesn't look to be anything other than organizational depth for the Diamondbacks.

Indians' Daniel Robertson: Designated for assignment
The Indians designated Robertson (hamstring) for assignment Thursday.
He became expendable when the Tribe acquired Jay Bruce on Wednesday and needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Robertson was on the Triple-A Columbus disabled list with hamstring issues and could remain there if he clears waivers.

Indians' Daniel Robertson: Lands on DL
Robertson was placed on the 7-day disabled list at Triple-A Columbus with left hamstring soreness.
The 31-year-old slashed .225/.287/.338 over 32 games with the Tribe this season, but was sent back to Triple-A once Brandon Guyer (wrist) and Michael Brantley (ankle) returned from the DL. Robertson has enjoyed a great year with the Clippers, though, hitting .340 while scoring 24 runs and swiping seven bases through 43 contests. He'll return to providing organizational depth once his hamstring recovers.

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.

Indians' Daniel Robertson: Smacks first MLB home run
Robertson went 2-for-4 with his first major-league home run, a three-run shot, and scored twice in Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers.
It took 351 career plate appearances spread out over four organizations before Robertson finally cleared a big-league fence. The outfielder has been more than serviceable since being recalled in mid-May. Through 21 games, Robertson is slashing .286/.340/.469 with just two strikeouts in 49 at-bats.

Indians' Daniel Robertson: Will man leadoff spot Sunday
Robertson will start in right field and lead off Sunday against the White Sox, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
With the White Sox bringing a lefty starter (Jose Quintana) to the hill for the second straight game, Robertson will once again enter the lineup in place of Lonnie Chisenhall, but he'll move up from the No. 9 spot all the way to the top of the order with normal table setter Jason Kipnis joining Chisenhall on the bench. The move to the leadoff spot will give Robertson more appeal in DFS contests, but the ceiling is still somewhat limited for the career .272/.322/.332 hitter.

Indians' Daniel Robertson: Drives in three in Sunday's win
Robertson went 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Sunday's 8-0 win over Kansas City.
Robertson drilled a two-run double to right in the second inning and added an RBI single to center in the fourth. The offensive outburst came out of nowhere, as Robertson had just one RBI in 33 at-bats before Sunday. Don't count on too many games of production like that -- the 31-year-old Robertson has only 33 RBI in 131 career games.

Indians' Daniel Robertson: Batting second Sunday
Robertson will start in left field and bat second Sunday against the Royals, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland.com reports.
Injuries to the Indians outfield have opened up regular playing time for Robertson over the last couple of weeks, but he hasn't been able to do much with the opportunity, slashing .212/.297/.303 since his mid-May promotion to the big leagues. With Lonnie Chisenhall (concussion) on track to return from the disabled list ahead of Tuesday's series opener with the Rockies, Robertson could settle back into a bench role before long.

Indians' Daniel Robertson: Not in Monday's lineup
Robertson is out of the lineup Monday against the Athletics.
Robertson drew his fifth consecutive start in Sunday afternoon's matchup against the Royals, but he'll head to the bench for the opener of a four-game set against the A's. Cleveland manager Terry Francona will instead use an outfield composed of Michael Brantley (left), Bradley Zimmer (center) and Austin Jackson (right).

Indians' Daniel Robertson: Receiving fifth straight start
Robertson will start in right field and bat second Sunday against the Royals.
With the Indians holding out Bradley Zimmer against Royals lefty Danny Duffy and Lonnie Chisenhall (concussion) still sidelined, Robertson will pick up his fifth consecutive start. Robertson has occupied a spot in the bottom third of the order in the previous four contests, but with normal No. 2 hitter Francisco Lindor also receiving Sunday off for rest, Indians manager Terry Francona will see what Robertson can do in a more prominent lineup spot.

Indians' Daniel Robertson: Late replacement Wednesday
Robertson was a late addition to the lineup Wednesday, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. He'll bat ninth and play right field.
Lonnie Chisenhall (head) was a late scratch from Wednesday's contest, so Robertson will hop into action to fill his void. It's unclear how severe Chisenhall's ailment is, but if he's forced to miss extended time, Robertson seems like the main beneficiary for playing time in right field at this time.
