Clint Robinson: Ends playing career
Clint Robinson has been serving as a professional scout in the Marlins organization this season, effectively spelling an end to his playing career, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.Robinson, who last appeared in the majors in 2016, spent the 2017 campaign exclusively at Triple-A Syracuse in the Nationals organization, batting .242/.315/.424 in 495 plate appearances. Since the 33-year-old likely would have been destined for another year in the minors had he signed with a team this winter, he decided to transition to his post-playing career. Robinson appeared in parts of four seasons in the big leagues with the Royals, Dodgers and Nationals, hitting .257 with 15 home runs and 62 RBI in 243 games.

Nationals' Clint Robinson: Officially heads to minors
Clint Robinson cleared waivers and accepted an assignment to Triple-A Syracuse, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.The 32-year-old wasn't needed on the major-league roster after Adam Lind was added to the fray, and after no team jumped at the chance to sign Robinson off waivers he will return to the minors. He does possess a bit of power as well as some positional versatility, so he could climb back to the nation's capital if he tears up Triple-A.

Nationals' Clint Robinson: Placed on waivers
Clint Robinson was placed on waivers by the Washington Nationals on Tuesday, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.Robinson was battling for the backup role at first base, but that job will now go to recent signee Adam Lind, while this also clears the way for Wilmer Difo and Michael Taylor to fight for a final bench spot. Teams will now have 72 hours to claim the 32-year-old, and if not, he'll have the option to head to Triple-A Syracuse if he wants.

Nationals' Clint Robinson: Roster spot uncertain
Clint Robinson's spot on the major league roster is up in the air after the Washington Nationals signed Adam Lind on Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.After a down year, Robinson seemed to still have the inside track to a big league job given the lack of internal options to back up Ryan Zimmerman at first base. However, the 31-year-old's spot is in jeopardy after Lind joined the fray, as he does almost everything Robinson does better. Robinson will have to impress during spring training if he wants to stick around in the nation's capital, otherwise he seems destined for an organizational depth role in 2017.

Nationals' Clint Robinson: Bench spot secure heading into 2017
Clint Robinson will head into 2017 penciled into a spot on the Washington Nationals' 25-man roster.His numbers took a big step backwards last season, but the Nats still like Robinson as a source of left-handed power off the bench and at first base when Ryan Zimmerman is unavailable. That role doesn't provide him with a lot of fantasy value, but unless a prospect like Matt Skole has a big spring, there aren't any internal options to pressure Robinson for his spot.

Nationals' Clint Robinson: Gets rare start Tuesday
Clint Robinson is in the lineup Tuesday, batting eighth as the Washington Nationals' DH.Manager Dusty Baker will take advantage of playing in an AL park on Tuesday by having both Ryan Zimmerman and Robinson in the lineup. Robinson, who has only started six games in August, is slashing .235/.304/.362 across 149 at-bats on the season. That said, he'll provide a left-handed bat with some power against Baltimore righty Kevin Gausman on Tuesday.

Nationals' Clint Robinson: Sits second straight
Clint Robinson is out of the lineup for the second straight game Thursday against the Dodgers, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports.After starting four straight games at first base, and seven of eight overall after Ryan Zimmerman (ribs) landed on the DL, Robinson will take a seat for the second day in a row. The 31-year-old is losing playing time to the young Trea Turner, who starts at the keystone and effectively moves Daniel Murphy over to Robinson's spot at first. Robinson's bat hasn't done much to help his case, as he's slashing .194/.250/.389 since July 1.

Nationals' Clint Robinson: Pops fifth homer in Friday's win
Clint Robinson got the start at first base Friday and went 1-for-3 with a two-run shot, his fifth home run of the season, in a 3-1 win over the Mets.With Ryan Zimmerman (ribs) landing on the DL, Robinson should see most of the action at first, although manager Dusty Baker could elect to slide Daniel Murphy to first as well in order to get Trea Turner into the lineup at second base. Robinson's been heating up though, homering in consecutive games and launching three shots in his last 21 at-bats, so Baker may just elect to stick with the veteran until Zimmerman's ready to return.
