Over his last eight appearances spanning 9.1 innings, Robles has given up 13 of the 27 earned runs he has allowed in 60.1 total innings this season.
Robles was cruising until August 3, posting a 1.61 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 28 innings over 21 games. However, since August 2 the wheels have fallen off as Robles has struggled with his command and control, leaving too many pitches in the heart of the plate while also walking 10 batters in 9.1 innings. He still is manager Terry Collins' main seventh-inning option, though he could lose that job to Jim Henderson, who recently returned from injury.
