The Tampa Bay Rays activated Daniel Robertson prior tonight’s series opener against the New York Yankees. For the corresponding roster move, the Rays optioned Austin Pruitt to Triple-A Durham.
The Rays had placed Robertson on the 10-day disabled list on June 9th with an oblique strain. He went through a very brief rehab assignment with the Durham Bulls. It has been a breakout campaign for Robertson thus far in 2018.
The former top infield prospect has played in 56 games for the Rays and has hit 7 HR while he is slashing .257/.385/.423 over 213 plate appearances.
