It's a reunion for the two sides as the Dodgers originally drafted Robertson in the 7th round of the 2019 draft and he made his major league debut with the team, getting into nine games in 2023.
Since then, the 27-year old from Roanoke, Virginia has been a bit of journeyman, bouncing around between six other teams since the Dodgers traded him at the deadline in 2023.
One of those teams was the Toronto Blue Jays, who claimed him off waivers from the Los Angeles Angelslate in 2024.
Although he only made a single appearance for Canada's team, his signing created a minor media stir due to him sharing a name with a left winger for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Robertson will get Spring Training invite, chance to compete for bullpen job
While finding a role on the stacked Dodgers will be a Herculean feat for Robertson, he will get a Spring Training invite.
Although he has a career 5.30 ERA, the reliever does have better than average strikeout numbers, punching up 26.2% of batters in Triple-A.
If he can limit the number of walks and increase his velocity by a tick, he may find himself on the roster.
