Cardinals' Kramer Robertson: Loses spot on 40-man roster
Rotowire
The Cardinals outrighted Robertson to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
The 28-year-old was sent to Memphis after he was claimed off waivers by St. Louis in early August, but he won't retain his spot on the 40-man roster through the offseason. Robertson played in only two big-league games during 2022 and had a .239/.393/.363 slash line with 11 home runs, 47 RBI and 30 stolen bases in 116 contests at Triple-A.

Mets' Kramer Robertson: Finds work in new organization
Rotowire
The Mets claimed Robertson off waivers from Atlanta on Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Though Atlanta never officially announced Robertson was designated for assignment, the 27-year-old was apparently exposed to waivers at some point within the past few days and ultimately landed in a new organization. New York marks the third stop in less than a month for Robertson, a 2017 draft pick of the Cardinals who made his MLB debut for St. Louis earlier this season before being dropped from their 40-man roster June 3. The Mets won't provide a clear path for Robertson to see action at the big-league level, but he'll at least add organizational depth in the middle infield for the Triple-A club.

Cardinals' Kramer Robertson: Returns to minors
Rotowire
The Cardinals optioned Robertson to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.
The 27-year-old's first stint in the majors lasted all of two days, as the Cardinals elected to move him off the 26-man active roster with fellow infielder Edmundo Sosa (illness) returning from the COVID-19 injured list in advance of Thursday's series finale with the Orioles. Robertson was at least able to come away with his first career RBI in Wednesday's 10-1 loss to Baltimore.

The Cardinals selected Robertson's contract from Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.
He'll get his first call-up to the big leagues to provide depth in the middle infield after Paul DeJong was optioned to Memphis in a corresponding move. DeJong had been serving as St. Louis' everyday shortstop, but Tommy Edman is expected to take over those duties beginning Tuesday, while Brendan Donovan appears to be first in line for work at the keystone. Robertson hit just .225 with three home runs in 100 plate appearances at Memphis this season, but he sported a 16.7 percent walk rate and went 6-for-6 on stolen-base attempts.
