Fantasy Analysis
This is good news that Robertson is ready to resume baseball activities. Perhaps that means he won't need to spend a ton of time sidelined but it looks as though he will need more than the 15 days before returning. Robertson was in line for saves before getting hurt. He could get opportunities to close games out again once he is healthy, but that could depend on how well Rafael Soriano is doing in the closer's role in his absence. Robertson is worth stashing while he is on the DL, but keep tabs on the Yankees' closer situation once he is active. (Updated 05/21/2012).

Mark Teixeira hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the seventh inning, Curtis Granderson also connected, and the New York Yankees got three hits from Alex Rodriguez in an 8-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night.
05/10/2012 22:53 Robertson's 'day after' look hints that he can handle closing
David Robertson didn't pitch Thursday, the day after his first blown save as Mariano Rivera's (sort-of) replacement as Yankee closer. But there was no sign at all that the blown save affected him, and that's a good thing. As with any pitcher trying to close for the first time, the big key is how he reacts to failure.
05/10/2012 22:22 Sabathia outduels Price for first time
CC Sabathia outpitched David Price for the first time in six career matchups between the All-Star lefties, Robinson Cano and Curtis Granderson homered and the New York Yankees beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-3 Thursday.
David Robertson certainly didn’t perform like a setup man during his breakout 2011 campaign. Rather, he pitched like a shutdown closer for the New York Yankees. In his fourth major league season, Robertson was dominant from start to finish and registered a sparkling 1.08 ERA during a team-high 70 relief appearances. The right-hander provided a seemingly unbreakable bridge to Yankees closer Mariano Rivera in the ninth inning and led the American League with 34 holds. Robertson, who earned a raise of more than $1 million for his efforts, also posted 100 strikeouts in 66 2/3 innings pitched. Still, he walked 35 batters last season, but only 12 free passes came after the All-Star Game when he held opponents to a lowly .144 batting average. With Rivera hinting at retirement following this year, Robertson could be auditioning for the role in 2013 and could pick up a couple saves during the season. Fantasy owners should target Robertson in the later rounds of deeper drafts once all of the closers have come off the board. (Updated 2/6/12)
