Robinson signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Wednesday which includes an invitation to spring training, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson spent most of the 2017 season with Triple-A Salt Lake, hitting a respectable .318/.370/.425 with 15 stolen bases across 86 games. He also appeared in 20 games for the Angels, though his success failed to translate as he hit just .194/.257/.194 in 35 plate appearances for the big club. Given the amount of quality outfield options the Yankees already have on their 40-man roster, Robinson should spend the year in the minors as organizational depth.

Robinson elected free agency Friday, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson took part in just 20 games with the Angles during the 2017 campaign. With 35 plate appearances, he batted .194 with six hits and an RBI. The 33-year-old will look to latch on elsewhere as a depth option in the outfield prior to next season, though he's unlikely to become a significant fantasy contributor.

Robinson was promoted by the Angels on Friday, Pedro Moura of The Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson has appeared in 14 games with the Angels this season, going 5-for-25 (.200 average) with one RBI and six runs during his brief time in the majors. After being DFA'd by the club in early August, he's slashed .256/.276/.390 with Triple-A Salt Lake since. Moving forward, he will serve as added depth in the outfield, but doesn't figure to provide any substantial fantasy impact throughout the rest of the year.

Robinson cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson will serve as organizational depth at Salt Lake, where he has slashed .338/.397/.436 in 66 games this season. Despite his impressive minor-league numbers, the 32-year-old has had trouble sticking in the majors.

Robinson was designated for assignment by the Angels on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
This marks the second time this season Robinson was DFA'd to clear room on the roster for Cameron Maybin's (knee) return from the disabled list. Assuming he clears waivers again, Robinson will likely report back to Triple-A Salt Lake where he'll continue to serve as organizational depth.

Robinson went 1-for-2 with a run scored in Saturday's win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder has received two starts in as many days with the Angels taking on left-handers in back-to-back games. Robinson has been on the short-side of a platoon with Ben Revere ever since Cameron Maybin (knee) was placed on the disabled list. He should continue to see action against southpaws in the near future, but Revere is the outfielder who will provide the most value until Maybin returns.

Robinson was promoted by the Angels on Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Cameron Maybin (knee) set to head to the disabled list, Robinson was called up to take his place on the roster. The outfielder could see some time in the lineup, especially with the Angels set to face southpaws Gio Gonzalez, Chris Sale and David Price over the next four days.

Robinson cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson was designated for assignment, and his relative lack of success in the big leagues over the past few years left other teams disinterested in his services while he was exposed to waivers. He'll return to Triple-A to continue to act as organizational depth.

Robinson was Friday prior to the game against Houston.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding move, the team activated Cameron Maybin (oblique) from the disabled list and moved Robinson in order to clear a spot. Moving forward, Robinson will provide organizational outfield depth if he accepts the assignment.

Robinson's contract was purchased from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson was hitting .289 in the minors prior to his callup, and given his vast major-league experience, he was a reasonable choice for the Angels to bring up with Mike Trout (thumb) and Cameron Maybin (side) on the shelf. Robinson is starting in center field for Wednesday's contest, and he could pick up a good number of innings until Maybin is back in action, after which he's likely move into a fourth outfielder role.
