Robertson briefly reached the majors with Los Angeles. He made nine appearances before being traded to the Red Sox along with the minor league pitcher Justin Hagenman in the deal that resulted Kike Hernández back to the Dodgers. Robertson didn’t spend much time in Boston, as he only pitched nine times for them at the big league level. The Sox dealt him to St. Louis in the Tyler O’Neill deal for the 2023-2024 offseason.
The James Madison product then bounced around the league via a series of waiver trades. He spent time with the Angels, Blue Jays (a claim that was met with some controversy because the Maple Leafs have a player of the same name) and Astros. Robertson made one MLB appearance with Toronto and did not reach the highest level with Los Angeles or Houston. The Astros released him in August and he finished the season with a minor league contract with the Royals.
Robertson has logged a total of 35 2/3 Major League innings. He has a 5.30 earned run average despite better-than-average strikeout and walk numbers. He has allowed 4.46 earned runs per nine over parts of four Triple-A seasons. Robertson has struck out 26.2% of batters at the highest minor league level, but that comes with a high walk rate of 11.3%. He has a three-pitch mix (four-seam, slider and changeup) and averaged 93.4 MPH on the fastball in Triple-A last year. That’s a few ticks less than the speed he showed during his first stint with the LA organization.
