Pirates' Will Robertson: Claimed off waivers by Pirates
Rotowire
The Pirates claimed Robertson off waivers from the White Sox on Monday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Robertson went just 9-for-70 with a 2:27 BB:K over 75 plate appearances between the Blue Jays and White Sox in 2025 in his first action at the big-league level. However, the 27-year-old slashed .289/.387/.571 with 20 homers at the Triple-A level this season and can play all three outfield spots, so the Pirates will hope he can nail down a job as a reserve outfielder.

White Sox's Will Robertson: Drawing fourth straight start
Rotowire
Robertson will start in left field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Padres.
Robertson will make his fourth consecutive start -- all against right-handed pitchers -- despite mustering just two hits in 10 at-bats over the previous three contests. The 58-97 White Sox are seemingly in evaluation mode at this stage of the season and are giving Robertson an opportunity to prove he belongs in the big leagues, even though Andrew Benintendi is likely viewed as the team's primary option in left field heading into 2026.

Rotowire
Robertson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
Robertson had started in each of the last four games but did little with the opportunity, going 2-for-11 with three strikeouts. He'll likely handle a part-time role in the Chicago outfield for the remainder of the season and could see his opportunities dwindle further once Brooks Baldwin (hip) is cleared to rejoin the lineup.
