3 years agoBoston Red Sox relief pitcher
Hansel Robles was designated for assignment following Tuesday's 8-4 loss to the Rays, per Boston Sports Journal's Sean McAdam. Robles pitched the seventh inning of Tuesday's game, allowing one run on a hit and two walks with a strikeout. The move came in advance of Wednesday's game, in which pitcher
Brayan Bello will be called up to start. Robles was in the mix for save opportunities at the beginning of the season for the Red Sox but has compiled a poor 5.84 ERA with six blown saves in 24 2/3 innings pitched to this point. He may end up joining another team's bullpen, but his fantasy value will remain quite low unless he is trusted with high-leverage situations.

Hansel Robles (1-2) allowed two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out none in 2/3 of an inning in Saturday's 7-6 loss to the Seattle Mariners. He was tagged with the loss and charged with his fourth blown save of the season. The 31-year-old entered the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead. With runners on first and second base, he surrendered two more singles to lose the game. Boston's bullpen struggles continue this season, and with
Matt Barnes (shoulder) sidelined, the Red Sox could look for other options over Robles for future save chances.

Hansel Robles (back) from the 15-day injured list on Thursday.
Phillips Valdez was optioned to Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Robles joined the Red Sox on Thursday after a minimum stay on the injured list. The 31-year-old owns a 2.65 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 11:6 K: BB across 17 innings in 2022. He could factor in Boston's closer mix as he has racked up two saves earlier this year. Robles has more value in leagues that reward solds (saves and holds) but is worth stashing in deep-league formats for fantasy managers searching for saves.

Hansel Robles (back) threw live batting practice on June 4 and felt good, and the plan is for him to pitch an inning for Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday. Skipper Alex Cora said Robles will likely rejoin the team when they begin a series against the Los Angeles Angels later this week. "He'll throw his inning, see how it goes," Cora said, "and the hope is for him to join us [June 9]." It looks like the 31-year-old might only need one rehab appearance before rejoining Boston's bullpen, where he'll return to a 2.65 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 11 strikeouts and two saves in 17 relief innings. Robles went on the injured list in late May with back spasms, but he should return to at least a share of closing duties, especially with
Matt Barnes (shoulder) on the shelf.
