Clint Robinson

Clint Robinson will spell Ryan Zimmerman at first base on Wednesday. Zimmerman will get a half-day rest and play DH.

Fantasy Impact

Robinson has struggles mightily in 2016, batting only .087 in 13 games (2-for-23). He holds little direct fantasy value but anyone who can give Zimmerman a break from fielding will help him stay healthy through the year.

Nationals 1B Clint Robinson will start on Sunday versus the Marlins, giving Ryan Zimmerman a day of rest.

Fantasy Impact

Robinson will bat seventh, moving Jayson Werth and Daniel Murphy up a spot in the order. Robinson had a decent power stroke during spring training and faces a favorable matchup with Tom Koehler pitching for Miami.

Washington Nationals utility man Clint Robinson only has three hits in 18 at-bats (.167) this spring, but two of them are home runs and he has five RBI to show for it.

Fantasy Impact

Robinson got his first real taste of the 'Bigs in 2015 and made a decent impression with 10 home runs and 34 RBI in 126 games. His strikeout rates are high, but he might be a good gamble in daily leagues given the right matchup in 2016.

Clint Robinson slammed his first career home run as a pinch hitter on Sunday, putting the Nationals up 7-4.

Fantasy Impact

As a lefty slugger, Robinson has been key off the bench, slashing .268/.359/.432 while scoring 38 runs, driving in 25 and hitting seven homers.

Clint Robinson got the start at first base on Thursday night and blasted his first career home run. He finished the game 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored. The Nationals lost to the Brewers 6-5.

Fantasy Impact

Robinson is batting .254 with one home run and 4 RBI in 71 plate appearances this season. He should see an increase in playing time until Ryan Zimmerman returns from the disabled list but still carries very little fantasy value.
