Fantasy Impact
Robert had a cardiac event last year, as well, and was wearing an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (ICD), which will be reviewed during his stay at the hospital. The 31-year-old posted a 4.15 ERA across 15 relief outings for the Phillies last season.
Daniel Robert and the Philadelphia Phillies have agreed on a minor league deal to bring the righthander back to the organization. He will presumably receive an invitation to spring training.
Fantasy Impact
Robert has pitched well in his 18.2 career major league innings, posting a 3.86 ERA with 21 strikeouts. The righthander also has intriguing numbers in the minors with a career 3.40 ERA in 214.1 innings across six seasons. He has allowed only 155 hits while striking out 279 batters in the minors. Last season, he pitched in Triple-A Round Rock (Texas) and Lehigh Valley (Philadelphia) and combined for a 2.67 ERA in 30.1 innings. Robert will likely begin the season with Lehigh Valley but could see himself in Philadelphia at some point in 2026.
