Ryan Roberts went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Angels. He took Zack Greinke deep in the fifth, helping the Rays to a four-game sweep of the Halos. Roberts is hitting just .230/.333/.365 since arriving in Tampa Bay, but has managed to drive in 11 runs in 21 games. He's a decent option in AL-only leagues.

Ryan Roberts went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 7-3, 10-inning win over the Twins. Roberts singled home two of the Rays' four 10th-inning tallies. The multi-hit afternoon was just Roberts' third in 15 games as a Ray. He's hitting .216/.344/.333 since changing leagues.

Ryan Roberts hit a two-run homer, drew a walk, was hit by a pitch and scored three runs in his Rays debut Wednesday, a 10-1 win over the Orioles. That'll do nicely. Roberts was hitting a disappointing .250/.306/.357 for the Diamondbacks before his trade, but a slash like that will still play in deeper AL-only leagues. He's worth an add if you're hurting for an infielder.

Ryan Roberts told reporters after being designated for assignment Tuesday that he's about to be traded. Roberts classified a deal as being on the "one-yard line." He has failed to build on the decent power numbers that he posted last season but could do well with a change of scenery. The Diamondbacks officially removed Roberts from their 40-man roster on Tuesday evening.

Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Rays have interest in a trade for Diamondbacks' infielder Ryan Roberts. Roberts would provide another option at third base while Evan Longoria nurses a hamstring injury. He's also capable of playing second base. The 31-year-old entered play Monday batting .252/.307/.360 with six home runs, 33 RBI, six stolen bases and a .667 OPS over 276 plate appearances this year. He's under team control through 2015.

Ryan Roberts hit a three-run homer off Brian Fuentes in the bottom of the ninth to give the Diamondbacks a 9-8 win over the A's on Friday. The Diamondbacks slid Roberts into a utility role last month, but with Josh Bell struggling, it doesn't seem likely to stick. Odds are that Bell will be sent down when Stephen Drew returns, leaving Roberts competing with Willie Bloomquist and John McDonald for starts at third. If Roberts can get hit -- and he had three hits tonight -- he'll be a regular again in short order.

Ryan Roberts blasted his second home run of the season, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Mets on Saturday. Roberts finished the day 2-for-3 with the solo blast off of Johan Santana in the second inning. He's off to a very rough start at the plate this year, hitting just .184 with two homers and 11 RBI on the season. Lately, he's been losing starts to Cody Ransom at third base. Neither player represents a good fantasy option for the time being while they are sharing starts at the position.

Ryan Roberts was Arizona's only non-pitcher not to get a hit in Monday's 9-5 victory over Miami. He finished 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI, and is now posting a miserable .152/.240/.242 batting line. The 31-year-old journeyman surprised a lot of people last season with a combination of power and speed that few infielders could match. But in the midst of a 1-for-28 slump, Roberts now must prove that he deserves to remain an everyday starter, especially with Cody Ransom (1.150 OPS) hitting exceptionally well.

Ryan Roberts went hitless in three at-bats, but managed to rack up two steals in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Padres. Both two-out swipes came off of walks in the second and fourth innings, and he was left stranded at second base each time. It marked his first game of the year without a hit, and also his fourth straight game with one strikeout.

Ryan Roberts hit a three-run homer in Friday's win over the Mariners. The bomb was already Roberts' third of the spring, though he's hitting just .200 through his first 15 at-bats. Roberts hit .239/.341/.413 after the All-Star break last season after taking a .257/.340/.439 triple slash into the Midsummer Classic.
