Robinson was activated from the family emergency list Saturday, Fox Sports North's Tyler Mason reports.

His activation coincides with Jordan Schafer (knee) getting placed on the disabled list, so Robinson should share time with Aaron Hicks in center field going forward.

Robinson, who is on the family emergency list, doesn't have a set date to return but the Twins expect him to rejoin the team soon, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

He left the team Tuesday and it sounds like he may not return until after the weekend.

Robinson was placed on the family medical emergency/bereavement list Tuesday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Robinson will be replaced on the 25-man roster by Aaron Hicks, who may get the chance to earn an everyday role. It's unclear how much time Robinson is expected to miss, but he only has 16 at-bats through the Twins' first 10 games in May.

Robinson started in center field and hit second in the batting order in Sunday's win over Seattle. He went 1-for-2 with a walk.

Robinson got the start in center field against a lefty starter as the platoon in center field has become more or a rule rather than a loose platoon like manager Paul Molitor suggested before the season. Robinson's move to No. 2 in the batting order could indicate he may take over more of the center field role with Jordan Schafter struggling at the plate (hitting .132).

Robinson is in Sunday's starting lineup at center field and hitting 9th against Cleveland.

Robinson will get a start against a lefty while Jordan Schafter sits. Manager Paul Molitor has said center field won't be a strict platoon, but Schafer's early struggles (hitting .143) could open more playing time for Robinson.

Robinson will get his first start of the season in right field and is hitting eighth in Saturday's game against the White Sox, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

It looks like Robinson will get starts in right field when Torii Hunter gets a day off. Robinson was also said to be in a quasi-platoon in center field, but Jordan Schafer has started every game so far in center field.

Robinson was added to Minnesota's 40-man roster and has made the 25-man roster.

He'll split center field duties with Jordan Schafer. Manager Paul Molitor has said it won't be a strict platoon with Schafer getting the majority of playing time, but it sounds like Robinson will get several starts a week.

Robinson could be part of a platoon in center field with Aaron Hicks sent to Triple-A, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

It appears Robinson will make the 25-man roster as at least a reserve and possibly platoon with Schafer. However, Minnesota's center field situation remains in flux as the Twins could acquire a veteran cut by another team as a stopgap until top prospect Byron Buxton is ready to take over the job.

Robinson went 1-for-3 in Tuesday's win over Baltimore to raise his batting average to .368 this spring (5-for-17). He has a clause that let's him opt out of his contract if he's not on the 25-man roster by April 2, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Robinson is having a strong spring so far, but still seems like a long shot to win a roster spot. It's possible he could be the primary reserve outfielder if Aaron Hicks is sent to the minors and there's a small chance he could factor in a platoon in center field if he stays hot.

Robinson (shoulder) started in right field and went 0-for-2 in Wednesday's exhibition win over the University of Minnesota.

Robinson had his 2014 season end in August due to shoulder surgery, but he looks fully healthy as spring training begins. He's a long shot to win a spot on the 25-man roster and will likely play most of the season at Triple-A.

Robinson (shoulder) signed a minor league deal with the Twins on Thursday that includes an invitation to spring training, LaVelle E. Neal of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Robinson had a limited role with the Cardinals in 2014, slashing .150/.227/.200 over 66 plate appearances. He'll attempt to earn an Opening Day roster spot as a reserve outfielder with the Twins in the upcoming season. Robinson finished the 2014 season on the 60-day disabled list following shoulder surgery, but he's expected to be fully healthy by this spring.

Robinson (shoulder) was released by the Cardinals on Tuesday.

The acquisition of Jason Heyward from Atlanta gave the Cardinals a surplus of outfielders, and Robinson was ultimately deemed the weak link. A fifth-round pick in 2006, he has hit just .231/.303/.308 in parts of five seasons in the majors and was forced to undergo shoulder surgery late in the year. Robinson doesn't have much power or speed to speak of and will likely have to settle for a minor league deal once healthy.

Robinson (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day DL on Thursday.

This is merely a procedural move to clear a 40-man roster spot for infielder Xavier Scruggs, who will join the team in Milwaukee ahead of Thursday's series opener. Robinson underwent shoulder surgery last Thursday, putting an end to an up-and-down season for the 29-year-old. While Robinson hit .304/.380/.398 in 53 games with Triple-A Memphis, he went just 9-for-60 (.150 average) with the big club.

Robinson underwent shoulder surgery Thursday and is out for the remainder of the season, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Robinson injured his shoulder on a slide while attempting to steal a base. He was placed on the disabled list Tuesday, and now will miss the rest of the season after having shoulder surgery. The team replaced him on the active roster with Randal Grichuk, who will likely take on Robinson's bench role for the remainder of the season.

Robinson (shoulder) was placed on the disabled list Tuesday, MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch reports.

Robinson left Monday's game after a sliding attempt at stealing second base and has since been diagnosed with a sublaxation of his left shoulder. Randal Grichuk was recalled from Triple-A Memphis to replace him on the active roster.

Robinson was diagnosed with a subluxation of his left shoulder after leaving Monday's game, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The outfielder is likely headed back to St. Louis for further evaluation, and quite possibly, a placement on the disabled list. As the team's fifth outfielder, Robinson typically only sees the occasional pinch-hitting opportunity and shouldn't be overly difficult for the Cardinals to replace.

Robinson left Monday's game in the ninth inning after injuring his left shoulder/arm while attempting to steal second base.

He walked off the field with assistance from the training staff, and should be considered day-to-day for now. He has just a .136 average in 46 games this season, so very few owners should be affected by his injury.

Robinson was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

The 29-year-old will return for his fourth stint with the big club this season, replacing struggling reliever Carlos Martinez on the active roster. With Allen Craig shipped to Boston, Oscar Taveras will take on primary duties in right, meaning Robinson will merely provide depth for the time being. Robinson has hit a respectable .304/.380/.398 with Memphis this season, but he has little pop or speed.

Cardinals optioned OF Shane Robinson to Triple-A Memphis.

Robinson sports a hideous .140/.213/.209 batting line at the big league level this season. He'll get another shot later this year, though.

Cardinals recalled OF Shane Robinson from Triple-A Memphis.

Robinson hit .152 with a .404 OPS in 23 games for the Cardinals earlier this season. He'll be outfield depth.
