Robles (forearm) will start in center field and bat eighth against the Blue Jays on Friday.
Robles was removed from Thursday's game against the Angels after taking a pitch to his right forearm. X-rays came back negative, and the veteran outfielder has been cleared for Friday's game. Robles should see an uptick in playing time for at least the next week after the Mariners placed Julio Rodriguez (concussion) on the 7-day injured list.

Mariners' Victor Robles: X-rays come back negative
Rotowire
X-rays on Robles' injured right forearm came back negative Thursday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Robles was hit by a 97.9-mph sinker from Walbert Urena in the bottom of the third inning and was replaced in the outfield in the top of the fifth. Robles was on in relief of an injured Julio Rodriguez, who left the game in the third frame after he was hit in the back of the helmet on a throw from Nolan Schanuel in the first inning. Weston Wilson finished the game in right field for Seattle, as Luke Raley kicked over to center field. Robles seems to have avoided a serious injury and should be considered day-to-day.

Mariners' Victor Robles: Removed early with forearm injury
Rotowire
Robles was removed from Thursday night's contest against the Angels in the fifth inning with a right forearm injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Robles took a 97.9-mph sinker from Walbert Urena off his right forearm in the bottom of the third inning and was later replaced in the outfield by Weston Wilson before the top of the fifth. Robles had already entered the game in place of Julio Rodriguez (head), and Seattle will now operate especially shorthanded for the remainder of the contest. More information on Robles' status will likely come following the conclusion of Thursday's series finale.

Mariners' Victor Robles: Swipes three bags Sunday
Rotowire
Robles went 2-for-5 with three stolen bases and a run scored in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Guardians.
Robles doubled his stolen-base count for the season with his three steals Sunday -- he swiped just one bag over 12 games coming into the day while going 4-for-27 (.148). Robles has been limited to the short side of a platoon since returning from the IL in late May, though he could see more playing time in the short term with both Luke Raley (elbow) and Dominic Canzone (hamstring) dealing with injuries. Overall, Robles is slashing .242/.275/.273 with no home runs, two RBI and five runs scored across 69 plate appearances this year.

Mariners' Victor Robles: Playing time likely to take hit
Rotowire
Robles is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
He had started in eight of Seattle's last nine games, but Robles' run of regular playing time looks to have come to an end. Robles benefited from Randy Arozarena (hamstring), Julio Rodriguez (hamstring), Luke Raley (illness) and Dominic Canzone (hamstring) all missing time of late, but the four players will all be included in the same lineup Wednesday for the first time since June 12. Moving forward, Robles will likely draw most of his starts versus left-handed pitching while filling the short side of a platoon with either Raley or Canzone.

Mariners' Victor Robles: Sitting after six straight starts
Rotowire
Robles is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.
Though he'll be on the bench Saturday, Robles had started in each of the Mariners' last six games and looks like the top choice to make starts in left field while Randy Arozarena (hamstring) is shelved. While Robles rests, the Mariners will go with Connor Joe, Julio Rodriguez and Rob Refsnyder as their starting outfield trio from left to right.

Mariners' Victor Robles: Three hits Tuesday
Rotowire
Robles went 3-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the A's.
It's Robles' second multi-hit effort in eight games since his return from the IL -- he's gone 6-for-19 (.316) with a pair of doubles and one steal overall. Robles' defense should afford him fairly regular playing time in Seattle, though he'll likely be limited to at-bats against left-handed pitching while platooning with Luke Raley and Dominic Canzone.

Mariners' Victor Robles: Activated from injured list
Rotowire
The Mariners activated Robles (pectoral) from the 10-day injured list Friday.
In a corresponding move, Seattle optioned Connor Joe to Triple-A Tacoma. Robles hasn't played at the big-league level since April 6 due to a strained right pec. He appeared in 12 games with Tacoma on a rehab assignment and slashed .256/.389/.349 with four doubles, seven RBI, 10 runs scored, two stolen bases and a 9:13 BB:K across 54 plate appearances. He's likely to see most of his at-bats against lefties with the Mariners.

Mariners' Victor Robles: Beginning rehab assignment Sunday
Rotowire
Robles (pectoral) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
A strained right pectoral sent Robles to the injured list April 8, and he's now been cleared to return to a game environment after a few weeks of ramping up baseball activity. It's unclear exactly how long the Mariners plan to keep the 28-year-old in the minors, though he isn't expected to require a lengthy rehab assignment.

Mariners' Victor Robles: Doing light baseball work
Rotowire
Robles (pectoral) is participating in light baseball activities, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
The 28-year-old landed on the shelf last week due to a right pectoral strain, and the Mariners are building him back up slowly since it's an injury to his throwing arm. Robles will be eligible to be reinstated Friday but seems likely to require a longer stint on the IL.

Mariners' Victor Robles: Shelved with pec strain
Rotowire
The Mariners placed Robles on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a right pectoral strain.
Robles had served as Seattle's fourth outfielder to begin the season, starting in four of the team's first 12 games while going 3-for-13 with a double, a stolen base and an RBI. According to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, Robles suffered the pec injury while making longer throws to the bases from the outfield as he was warming up prior to Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers. Seattle called up Connor Joe from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move to provide the bench with another right-handed-hitting option while Robles is on the shelf.

Mariners' Victor Robles: Four hits, homer vs. Guardians
Rotowire
Robles went 4-for-6 with a three-run homer, a double and an additional run scored in Friday's Cactus League matchup with the Guardians.
It was an encouraging showing from Robles, who had been struggling mightily this spring. Coming into the day, the outfielder had gone just 2-for-24 in his first 12 Cactus League appearances. Robles should see steady playing time thanks to his defense, though he'll likely open the year in a short-side platoon role alongside lefty batters Dominic Canzone and Luke Raley. A shoulder injury limited Robles to just 32 regular-season appearances in 2025, and he slashed .245/.281/.330 with one homer and six stolen bases.
Mariners' Victor Robles: Checks back into spring lineup
Rotowire
Robles will serve as the Mariners' designated hitter and leadoff batter in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Brewers.
Robles will start for the first time since last Sunday, after the Mariners held him out of action for the past six days due to a sore shoulder, per Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com. Assuming Robles' shoulder checks out fine following Sunday's contest, he could resume playing the outfield at some point during the upcoming week.
