Clint Robinson - 1B - Blue Jays

Pirates designated 1B Clint Robinson for assignment.

Robinson was acquired this winter from the Royals in a four-player trade but failed to make an impression this spring in Pirates camp. The 28-year-old hit .292/.393/.452 with 13 home runs and 67 RBI in 131 games last summer at the Triple-A level. He could draw some interest on waivers.

Mar 27 - 4:30 PM

Clint Robinson - 1B - Blue Jays

Pirates acquired 1B Clint Robinson and RHP Vin Mazzaro from the Royals for LHP Luis Rico and RHP Luis Santos.

Another player who was designated for assignment by the Royals last week, Robinson owns a .308/.382/.520 batting line over six seasons in the minor leagues. He turns 28 in February, so he is well past being considered a prospect, but he could end up being useful organizational depth.

Clint Robinson - 1B - Blue Jays

Royals designated 1B Clint Robinson for assignment.

Robinson, who turns 28 in April, batted .292/.393/.452 with 13 homers and an .845 OPS this season at the Triple-A level and got four at-bats during his first taste of the big leagues in June. He'd probably be better off with a fresh start elsewhere at this point of his career.

Clint Robinson - 1B - Blue Jays

Royals recalled 1B Clint Robinson from Triple-A Omaha.

Robinson has another nice year at Triple-A this season, batting .292/.393/.452 with 13 homers. But, with Eric Hosmer at first base and Billy Butler at DH, he doesn't have a clear path to playing time in Kansas City.

Fri, Oct 5, 2012 02:40:00 PM

Clint Robinson - 1B - Blue Jays

Royals optioned 1B Clint Robinson to Triple-A Omaha.

Robinson struck out twice and collected no hits in four plate appearances with the big-league Royals. The 27-year-old should get another crack at it later this summer.

Thu, Jun 14, 2012 02:05:00 PM

Clint Robinson - 1B - Blue Jays

Royals recalled 1B Clint Robinson from Triple-A Omaha.

As expected. Robinson, 27, is a .312/.383/.532 hitter over parts of six seasons in the minors and will serve as a left-handed bat off the bench this weekend in Pittsburgh.

Thu, Jun 7, 2012 06:52:00 PM

Clint Robinson - 1B - Blue Jays

The Royals will recall 1B Clint Robinson from Triple-A Omaha prior to Friday's game.

He'll take the roster spot of left-hander Ryan Verdugo, who was optioned to the minors on Thursday. Robinson, 27, is hitting .314/.418/.500 with eight homers, 37 RBI and a .918 OPS in 60 games at the Triple-A level this year. He'll function as a lefty bat off the bench this weekend in Pittsburgh.

Clint Robinson - 1B - Blue Jays

Royals optioned 1B Clint Robinson, OF David Lough and OF Derrick Robinson to Triple-A Omaha.

Clint Robinson, 27, has unfortunately been caught on the wrong end of Kansas City's glut of prospects. He had another terrific year in 2011, batting .326/.399/.533 with 23 homers and 100 RBI at Triple-A Omaha, this after posting a .335/.410/.625 line with 29 homers at Double-A the season before. Unfortunately it looks like he'll be stuck at Triple-A for the foreseeable future unless a rash of injuries occur.

Clint Robinson - 1B - Blue Jays

Royals first base prospect Clint Robinson has been scratched from the Arizona Fall League due to a sports hernia.

It's a bummer that he won't be able to show off his skills in the AFL, but Robinson should be fine by next spring. Ranked by Baseball America prior to the season as the No. 28 prospect in a loaded Royals system, Robinson had another terrific year in 2011, batting .326/.399/.533 with 23 homers and 100 RBI at Triple-A Omaha. With Eric Hosmer and Billy Butler blocking him, he might be best served as trade bait for starting pitching.

Clint Robinson - 1B - Blue Jays

Clint Robinson hit a pair of solo homers Thursday for Triple-A Omaha.

Robinson hit .335/.410/.625 with 29 homers in Double-A last season, but the Royals have him batting sixth in Omaha's lineup, with Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas making up the most promising three-four lineup combination in the minors. Robinson's chances of getting a shot this year hinge on Kila Ka'aihue's performance for the Royals. If it doesn't happen for him this year, he's not likely to be a factor going forward, as the Royals figure to have Hosmer at first base and Billy Butler at DH for several years beginning in 2012.

Clint Robinson - 1B - Blue Jays

Clint Robinson, last year's Texas League Triple Crown winner, is part of a crowded field competing for the Royals' first base job.

Last season Robinson hit .335/.410/.625 with 29 home runs and 98 RBI at Double-A Northwest Arkansas. But Billy Butler and Kila Ka'aihue are likely to split time at first base this year, while Eric Hosmer also is vying for at-bats. Royals manager Ned Yost understands his enviable dilemma, saying, "We're a little log-jammed, and we'll just have to find him a position where we can utilize that offensive production at the big league level." Although Robinson, 26, is nearly ready for the majors, he might have to spend another year in the minors until or unless the competition thins out.

1B	1	Adam Lind
2B	1	Maicer Izturis
	2	Emilio Bonifacio
SS	1	Jose Reyes D.L. Jose Reyes (ankle) was cleared to begin running for the first time on Friday. Reyes had been shut down since being placed on the DL, so it's a major step in his recovery. Assuming his rehab process continues to go as expected, Reyes could resume full baseball activities next week. The Blue Jays are hoping he can return sometime around midseason. May 25
	2	Munenori Kawasaki
3B	1	Brett Lawrie
	2	Mark DeRosa
LF	1	Melky Cabrera
	2	Rajai Davis D.L. Rajai Davis (oblique) has been sent to Florida to start his rehab. Davis hasn't played since May 10 due to a strained oblique. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons doesn't expect it to be a long-term injury, so it's possible he could return later this month. May 17

	2	Anthony Gose
DH	1	Edwin Encarnacion
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	R.A. Dickey
	2	Josh Johnson D.L. Josh Johnson (triceps) will make at least two more rehab starts. Johnson struck out five over three innings of one-run ball on Monday with High-A Dunedin. He's feeling good physically, but the right-hander obviously needs to build up his stamina. He'll rejoin the rotation in early June if he can avoid a setback. May 21
	3	Brandon Morrow
	4	Mark Buehrle
	5	J.A. Happ D.L. Blue Jays transferred LHP J.A. Happ from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Happ was hoping to make it back by mid-June, but he now won't be eligible to return until early July. The left-hander is coming back from a small fracture behind his left ear as well as a sprained right knee. May 24
	6	Dustin McGowan D.L. Dustin McGowan (shoulder) will continue his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo. McGowan allowed one hit and one walk over two scoreless innings with High-A Dunedin and notched four strikeouts. The Blue Jays can't count on him given his lengthy injury history, but he could be an option to join the bullpen later this month if all goes well. May 17
	7	Chad Jenkins
	8	Sean Nolin
	9	Kyle Drabek D.L. Kyle Drabek (elbow) expects to throw live batting practice in the next week or two. Drabek threw a bullpen session Monday in extended spring training. He's coming back from the second Tommy John surgery of his career, so the Blue Jays figure to take things slow, but he could be looking at a return around midseason if all goes well. May 8
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Casey Janssen
	2	Sergio Santos D.L. Blue Jays transferred RHP Sergio Santos from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move was made in order to clear room on the 40-man roster for Thad Weber. Santos will be out until after the All-Star break following surgery to remove bone chips and spurs from his right elbow. May 19
	3	Darren Oliver D.L. Blue Jays placed LHP Darren Oliver on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 19 with a left shoulder strain. Oliver has been dealing with the ailment for 7-10 and hadn't appeared in a game in nearly a week. He shouldn't be out long, but the Jays have decided to play things safe. Toronto still has two lefties in the bullpen in Aaron Loup and Brett Cecil. May 24
	4	Steve Delabar
	5	Esmil Rogers
	6	Aaron Loup
	7	Brett Cecil
	8	Brad Lincoln
	9	Ramon Ortiz
	10	Luis Perez D.L. Luis Perez (elbow) is expected to appear in an extended spring training game later this week. Perez has been throwing bullpen sessions, but this will be his first appearance in a game. He's expected to return from Tommy John surgery around midseason. May 6
