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.

White Sox's Will Robertson: Sitting after four straight starts
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.

White Sox's Will Robertson: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The White Sox optioned Robertson to Triple-A Charlotte on Friday.
It will be a short stint in the majors for Robertson, who was recalled by the White Sox on Wednesday. He has appeared in eight games for Charlotte since being traded by the Blue Jays in early July and has gone 11-for-34 (.324) with four doubles, one triple, three home runs and six RBI. The move makes room on the White Sox's 26-man roster for Corey Julks.

White Sox's Will Robertson: Brought up from minors
Rotowire
The White Sox recalled Robertson from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
He'll join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for outfielder Austin Slater, who was traded to the Yankees. Robertson went hitless in six plate appearances during a previous stint with the White Sox earlier this season. He could see more action in the final two months, especially if Chicago makes additional trades of their position players leading up to Thursday's deadline.

Blue Jays' Will Robertson: Contract selected
Rotowire
The Blue Jays selected Robertson's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.
The left-handed-hitting Robertson will receive his first big-league promotion after breaking through with a .288/.408/.583 batting line and 12 home runs in 52 games this season with Buffalo. The 27-year-old is capable of handling all three outfield spots, and with Anthony Santander (shoulder), Daulton Varsho (hamstring) and Nathan Lukes (concussion) all on the shelf, he could see some starts versus righties.

Blue Jays' Will Robertson: Promotion forthcoming
Rotowire
The Blue Jays are expected to select Robertson's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Robertson has spent the entire 2025 campaign in Triple-A, where he's slashed .288/.410/.582 with 12 homers, 34 RBI and 31 runs scored across 188 plate appearances. Thanks to his performance, the 27-year-old will now be called upon to provide depth to a Blue Jays outfield unit that is currently dealing with multiple injuries. He'll be making his MLB debut whenever he gets into a game.
