The Padres announced Tuesday that Robinson has been named the bench coach for Double-A San Antonio for the 2022 season, signaling the end of his playing career.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson hasn't played in affiliated ball since 2019, but he was still active player in the Mexican League as of 2021. With a return to MLB looking increasingly unlikely for the outfielder heading into his age-37 season, he'll make the jump to the coaching ranks. Robinson appeared in parts of nine seasons in the majors from 2009 through 2018 with the Cardinals, Twins, Angels and Yankees, slashing a collective .221/.288/.292 with seven home runs and 19 stolen bases in 849 plate appearances. He won his lone World Series ring in 2011 with the Cardinals.

Robinson joined the Braves on a minor-league contract Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old has played parts of nine seasons in the majors, hitting a poor .221/.288/.292. He spent last year with Triple-A Lehigh Valley in the Phillies' system and slashed .288/.367/.389, good for an unimpressive 98 wRC+.

Robinson was told Thursday that he won't make the Phillies' roster, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson will remain in camp through Monday before heading to minor-league camp. The veteran is unlikely to make a significant impact at the big-league level this season.

Robinson signed a minor-league deal with the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

The last time Robinson logged positive fWAR was in 2015 with the Twins (0.1). The 34-year-old outfielder will serve as organizational depth for Philadelphia.

Robinson was outrighted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson was removed from the 40-man roster after the Yankees traded for Andrew McCutchen on Friday. Unsurprisingly, a 33-year-old who's topped the Mendoza line just once since 2013 didn't make for an appealing waiver claim, so he'll head back to the minors.

Robinson was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Saturday, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees deemed Robinson expendable following the acquisition of Andrew McCutchen, casting him off their 40-man roster in order to free up a spot for Stephen Tarpley, whose contract was selected from Triple-A in a corresponding roster move. The 33-year-old hit just .143/.208/.224 across 25 games with the Yankees this season. He'll likely report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre if he passes through waivers untouched.

Robinson was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre prior to Thursday's game against Kansas City, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson's stay in the big leagues is likely going to be a brief one until the recently acquired J.A. Happ arrives from Toronto. That said, this move placed Robinson on the 40-man roster for the first time since he was DFA'd by the Yankees in April. Across 48 games with the RailRiders this year, he's hit .253 with a .614 OPS.

Robinson was outrighted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson was designated for assignment by the Yankees last Thursday, as the team has plenty of outfield depth even with Jacoby Ellsbury (oblique) and Clint Frazier (concussion) currently residing on the DL. After clearing waivers, Robinson will now serve as organizational depth in the minors, as opposed to electing free agency.

Robinson was designated for assignment Thursday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson came up from the minors Tuesday, but he'll be removed from the roster in order to allow Aaron Hicks to return from the disabled list. The 33-year-old went 1-for-3 with a walk in his lone start for New York, though he also added another walk and a stolen base off the bench in Wednesday's contest. He'll likely continue being an organizational depth piece if he clears waivers.

Robinson had has contract purchased from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday. He is starting in center field and hitting ninth against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson will take the roster spot of Jace Peterson, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. The 33-year-old should serve as a right-handed hitting outfield option as the Yankees face a pair of difficult lefties (Chris Sale and David Price) over the next two games. Robinson likely won't stick with the Yankees for long, however, as Aaron Hicks (ribs) is nearing a return from the disabled list and would presumably take his roster spot once activated.
