He’ll get a $500,000 buyout. Robles earned a two-year extension with a stellar run after joining the Mariners in 2024, but he’s been mostly injured since and hit .251/.300/.318 in 97 games since the start of 2025. He should draw interest as a fourth outfielder in free agency.

Robles returns to Seattle’s outfield mix for Tuesday’s series opener against the Rangers after spending a couple days away from the club due to a family emergency.

The 29-year-old outfielder will be away from the team for at least a few days while he tends to a family emergency. Stuart Fairchild was promoted from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move to take his place on the M’s active roster.

Robles returns to right field and hitting eighth after missing one game over the weekend with a right shoulder issue. The 29-year-old former top prospect remains irrelevant for fantasy purposes, but a prolonged absence would’ve put some serious strain on Seattle’s outfield depth, especially with Taylor Ward (quad) also banged up.

Robles was hurt trying a diving catch in the ninth inning last night. It’s possible he’ll be available off the bench. With Robles and Taylor Ward both out, the Mariners have Dominic Canzone in right field and Weston Wilson DHing tonight.

Robles was a key contributor to the Mariners comeback before closer Andrés Muñoz imploded in the 10th inning. First, his sixth inning single cut the Astros’ lead to two runs. Then, his bunt single moved Cal Raleigh to second base before he scored the tying run on a ground rule double by Alan Roden in the eighth. Then, his RBI triple in the 10th pushed across the go-ahead run and his speed put him in position to score the all important insurance run on a sac fly just after. Those were each key hits in his final three at-bats to give the Mariners all the help they should’ve needed in an incredibly important series opener versus the division-leading Astros as they desperately try to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Robles also threw out Edwin Arroyo at home after Arroyo made a surprising attempt to tag up on a 229-foot flyout from Sal Stewart in the second. Put it all together and it has to be Robles’s best game of the year to date. He was hitting just .210/.259/.240 with no homers and five RBI in 109 plate appearances.

Robles was pulled early from Thursday’s game after he was hit by a pitch in the fifth inning. Fortunately, he avoided any structural damage and just came away with a bruised wrist. He’s starting in center field and batting eighth against Blue Jays’ right-hander Dylan Cease on Friday evening in Seattle.

Robles said he was still in quite a bit of pain after the game. If neither he nor Julio Rodríguez can play Friday, the Mariners would probably use Luke Raley in center and Weston Wilson in right.

Robles was struck in the right forearm near his wrist. Presumably, he’ll head for X-rays to rule out any potential fractures. Be sure to check back on his status prior to setting lineups for the weekend.

Robles got the start in right field on Tuesday against the left-handed Gage Jump in Sacramento. He got on base in all three at-bats, starting with a single in the second. He then doubled to lead off the fourth and scored on a base hit. Robles collected his third hit with a single in the sixth before he was replaced by Luke Raley in the eighth. The 29-year-old outfielder is in a strict short-side platoon, seeing limited time against left-handed pitching. Robles still carries some stolen base upside if he finds himself with more playing time at some point.

Robles made it back into Seattle’s lineup after missing six weeks with a right pectoral strain. The 29-year-old former top prospect will likely have to split time with Dominic Canzone and Luke Raley moving forward.

Connor Joe was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma as a corresponding move. Robles has been sidelined since early April with a strained pec. He began the year in a weak-side platoon role with Luke Raley in right field. Joe had been filling that role lately, so expect Robles to slide right back into it. Seattle visits the Royals for a three-game set beginning Friday, with left-hander Noah Cameron set to toe the rubber for KC.

Robles has been limited to just 13 plate appearances this season as a short-side platoon outfielder. He doesn’t have much fantasy value in that role, even if he were healthy.

It’s not quite time to panic but Robles has gotten off to an ice-cold start at the plate this spring, hitting .083 (2-for-24) through eight games. The 28-year-old missed most of last season after suffering a dislocated left shoulder in early April. He’s the type of streaky hitter that tends to pile up hits and stolen bases in bunches but right now he’s in the middle of a cold spell.

The 28-year-old outfielder has been sidelined for nearly a week due to soreness in his shoulder. He’ll serve as the designated hitter and bat leadoff against the Brewers on Sunday afternoon. As of now, there’s no reason to doubt that he’ll be ready for the start of the regular season.

No surprise here as the Mariners are going to give Robles some additional rest heading into the playoffs after he dealt with some general soreness earlier this week.

It sounds like the Mariners didn’t want to take any chances with Robles experiencing some soreness following a nearly five-month layoff this season due to shoulder surgery. The 28-year-old outfielder should be ready in time for the start of the postseason, but he figures to get some additional rest this weekend.

No word yet on the reason for the late scratch, but it seems likely that the 28-year-old outfielder is dealing with some sort of ailment. Dominic Canzone replaced him in right field and will bat seventh against Emmet Sheehan and the Dodgers.

Robles has been losing playing time against right-handed pitching to Dominic Canzone, and that will continue on Thursday. Robles has only started four of the last seven games and is 4-for-17 this week with just one RBI. Canzone will start in right field and bat seventh on Thursday.
