Robert's absence from the starting lineup for a second straight day seemed to hint that the veteran outfielder was nursing an injury, and the Orioles confirmed as much about an hour before first pitch. Since Robert's placement on the IL is retroactive to Saturday, he'll be eligible for activation Sept. 15, and manager Craig Albernaz hopes the outfielder will be ready to go at that time, per Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun. After being claimed off waivers from the Mets on Aug. 31, Robert has gone 2-for-11 with a home run, a double, a walk, three RBI and two runs through his first three games with Baltimore.
