Fantasy Impact

Robertson posted a 3.00 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP in 68 games in 2024. He will likely have many teams interested that are in the market for a veteran high-leverage reliever.

David Robertson delivered a pristine performance, tossing two scoreless innings with two strikeouts to secure a save in the Rangers' 2-1 victory over the White Sox.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a showcase of efficiency and control, as he allowed no hits or walks while needing just 19 pitches to complete his task. Robertson's season has been a mixed bag with a solid 3.02 ERA and an excellent 0.92 WHIP, but his save opportunities have been limited, evidenced by his mere total of two saves following this game. His high strikeout rate (13.3 K/9) continues to make him a valuable asset in categories that reward strikeouts and WHIP, but his role in high-leverage situations remains inconsistent. Fantasy managers should continue to value Robertson for his elite peripherals, though his save count may not dramatically increase unless his role evolves.

David Robertson earned the save on Sunday against the Royals, working around a walk.

The specific amount has yet to be released but the reigning World Series champions add a big arm to their relief corps. Robertson worked to a 2.05 ERA across 40 appearances with the Mets last season but struggled upon a trade to the Miami Marlins at the deadline. The veteran owns a career 2.90 ERA with 175 saves across 793 appearances.

Free-agent reliever David Robertson is drawing interest from the Texas Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran signed with the Mets on a one-year pact last winter and tossed a tidy 2.05 ERA for them in 40 appearances before being dealt to the Marlins. He struggled to the tune of a 5.06 ERA in 22 outings with the Marlins but could have an opportunity to bounce back with the reigning world champions in 2024.
