Robertson picked up the save Thursday against the Nationals. He struck out two in a perfect inning.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson secured his first save in 11 days Thursday, holding the Nationals hitless for a second straight time. The dry spell was a result of a four-game skid by the Mets, dropping a pair of games to the Giants and to the Nationals before Thursday's victory. However, Robertson is tied for eighth in saves this season and has allowed just one run and five hits over 11.1 innings.

Robertson tossed a scoreless 10th to secure his fourth save of the season Sunday in a 4-3 win over the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson was able to escape some trouble in the 10th after he wound up with runners on second and third with one out from a wild pitch. He induced two groundouts to get of the jam and grab his second save in as many days. The 38-year-old has now tossed 8.1 scoreless innings and owns a 9:0 K:BB over eight appearances on the year.

Robertson picked up the save during Saturday's 3-2 win over Oakland, allowing one hit and zero walks while striking out one over a scoreless ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson came on with a one-run lead and allowed a leadoff single to Carlos Perez. After Esteury Ruiz executed a successful sacrifice bunt, the veteran closer got Tony Kemp to ground out and struck out Kevin Smith to end the game, stranding the game-tying run on third. Across seven appearances, Robertson has yet to allow a run while posting a 9:0 K:BB and a 0.55 WHIP. He now has three saves and one hold.

Robertson gave up two hits and struck out two in 1.1 scoreless innings to record his first hold of the season in Wednesday's win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander looked like he might slide right into the ninth-inning role vacated by Edwin Diaz (knee), but instead Mets manager Buck Showalter elected to bring Robertson into Wednesday's game with two outs in the seventh inning and the team nursing a 4-2 lead. Adam Ottavino ended up getting the save after Robertson kept San Diego off the board through the eighth. He'll have more reliable fantasy value in formats that count saves and holds, but Robertson still figures to get the majority of the save chances for the Mets. Through six appearances and 6.1 innings, he has yet to give up a run with an 8:0 K:BB.

Robertson picked up the save Saturday against Miami, striking out one in a perfect inning.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson got Nick Fortes to go down swinging, and he then retired Jon Berti and Jazz Chisholm on groundouts to cement the victory for the Mets. The right-hander has his second save of the season, and he hasn't allowed a run over four innings in his four appearances.

Robertson pitched a scoreless eighth inning in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

With the score tied 6-6 on the road, Mets manager Buck Showalter elected to turn to Robertson in the eighth rather than hold him back for a possible save situation. The move backfired when Adam Ottavino served up a walkoff homer to Garrett Mitchell after taking over in the ninth, but it's an indication that Robertson might see more general high-leverage usage rather than being used exclusively for save chances. Even so, the 37-year-old does have the Mets' only save so far in 2023, and he remains the favorite to lead the team in that category in the absence of Edwin Diaz (knee).

Robertson picked up the save in Thursday's 5-3 victory over the Marlins. He struck out two in a perfect inning of work.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Buck Showalter said earlier this week that he would not name a closer going into the 2023 season, but he acknowledged Robertson's experience and leaned on that experience in the Mets' first save chance of the new season. Robertson, who now has 158 career saves, got the job done on 16 pitches, nailing down the win for Max Scherzer. Garrett Cooper and Jazz Chisholm went down swinging against Robertson before Jorge Soler flew out to right field to end the game.

Mets manager Buck Showalter said Wednesday that he will not name a closer going into the start of the 2023 season, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Showalter did specifically mention Robertson as having the "strongest background" for the job, but Adam Ottavino, Brooks Raley and Drew Smith are also expected to receive ninth-inning looks as the Mets sort out their bullpen blueprint in the absence of Edwin Diaz (knee). Robertson, who boasts 157 career major-league saves, pitched to a 2.40 ERA with 81 strikeouts in 63.2 innings last year between the Cubs and Phillies. He's probably the best option to bet on from an early-season fantasy perspective.

Robertson and Brooks Raley are viewed as the primary options for saves for the Mets while Edwin Diaz (knee) is sidelined, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

EDGE Analysis

Official word on Diaz won't be available until sometime after his MRI on Thursday, but the Mets are bracing for their star closer to be out for a significant period of time. Robertson would be a natural choice to slide into the ninth inning, having saved 20 games while posting a 2.40 ERA over 58 appearances for the Cubs and Phillies last season. He and Raley are both worthy of being selected in fantasy leagues -- pending news on Diaz -- with Robertson probably the favorite.

Robertson signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Mets on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robertson missed the entirety of 2020 and the majority of the 2021 season due to Tommy John surgery. However, he returned to health to throw 63.2 innings and tally 20 saves in 2022, splitting the season between the Cubs and Phillies. He won't be in line for save opportunities with the Mets barring an injury to Edwin Diaz, though Robertson will be a proven setup man in a bullpen that is currently lacking high-leverage relievers.
