Oscar Robles

8/24/2005

Robles had a career-high four RBIs in the Dodgers' 8-3 victory over the Rockies on Tuesday. In addition to the RBIs, the Dodgers' third baseman went 2-for-4 including a double.

Robles has seen his batting average drop 50 points over his past five games, notching just one hit in his last 21 at-bats. The Dodgers' infielder, who starting at third base and batting leadoff, has been making contact, striking out only once and drawing two walks over that span.

With Cesar Izturis out of action until after the All-Star break with a hamstring injury, Robles will continue to see the majority of the time at shortstop for the Dodgers over the next week or two. Since taking over for the ailing Izturis last week, the rookie infielder is 12-for-24 (.500) with three doubles and four RBI over his last five games.

Filling in for the banged-up Cesar Izturis, Robles turned in the best performance of his major league career, going 5-for-6 with a double and two RBI in an extra-inning victory over the Colorado Rockies on Monday. The Dodgers' 29-year-old infielder has excelled in Izturis' absence, batting .474 (9-for-19) with a couple of doubles and four RBI in his last four games.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have purchased Robles' contract from the Mexico City Red Devils. The infielder, who was batting .388 with four home runs and 20 RBI in 29 games with Mexico City, was one of the last players cut by the Dodgers in spring training. He takes the roster spot of the struggling Norihiro Nakamura.

Robles will serve as a backup at second, third and shortstop with the Dodgers. In spring training, he batted .438 with one home run and two RBI in 19 games.
