Across a four-game rehab stint with Rochester in 2023 from 6/10 through game one of a doubleheader on 6/15, Robles hit .364 (4-for-11) with a pair of home runs, a double and four RBI...both of his homers came in one game on 6/13, the only multi-homer game of his career.

KING ROBERT: RHP ROBERT GSELLMAN logged 2.1 scoreless innings of relief in the contest yesterday, allowing just two hits...this marks his first scoreless relief appearance of at least 2.0 innings since 5/23/2021 with New York-NL (3.0 IP)...
Gsellman leads all Wings pitchers with 19 strikeouts this season.
SPEEDY GONZALES: PH JARRETT GONZALES made his Triple-A debut last night, working a walk for the first time in his career...this was his first plate appearance since 6/22/2023 at Richmond (SF) with Double-A Harrisburg...
