Newsbreakers
September 28, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that Yankees' reliever David Robertson felt great after throwing to hitters on Saturday. Robertson is expected to return to game action on Tuesday.
Our View:
Robertson looks like he will be ready for the postseason, so expect him to get in a few games this week. The Yanks want Robertson in the postseason bullpen, and barring a setback it looks like he will be ready.
September 26, 2009
David Robertson (shoulder) will face batters in a throwing session on Saturday and return to the Yankees' bullpen on Monday or Tuesday if it goes well, according to the Journal News.
Our View:
The Yankees are hoping to use him in two or three regular season games to ensure that he's ready for the postseason, so expect the surprisingly effective 24-year-old to get some action next week.
September 22, 2009
Yankees' reliever David Robertson is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday, according to the New York Post. Robertson has been suffering from a still right shoulder since September 5, and has been out of action for nearly two weeks.
Our View:
Robertson is a huge part of the Yankees' bullpen, so today will be a big day for the team. If he feels fine after today's session, the team will either activate him or as him to throw another session on Friday. Barring a setback, he should return to the bullpen within the week.
September 10, 2009
According to the Newark Star Ledger, David Robertson met with Dr. James Andrews and he recommended the Yankees shut down the reliever for the next two weeks.
Our View:
Robertson, a solid piece of the Yankee pen, will begin a throwing program after the two weeks of rest and should be set to rejoin the team in early October when the postseason gets underway. He is 2-1 with a 3.29 ERA in 41 innings pitched this season.
September 8, 2009
David Robertson was shut down Tuesday due to stiffness in his right elbow, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
Robertson will not resume throwing until being examined by Dr. James Andrews. Robertson does not believe there is anything seriously wrong with his ailing elbow, and has faith that his prognosis from Andrews won't be grim. He has been a solid member of the Yankees' bullpen, with a 3.29 ERA over 41 innings.
July 10, 2009
David Robertson is likely to be demoted on Friday to make room for recent call-up Mark Melancon, according to the New York Post.
Our View:
This is puzzling as Robertson sports a 2.53 ERA on the season (spanning 21.1 innings), and has allowed just one run in his last five appearances. Robertson does have zero holds, however, in 2009, limiting his appeal in leagues with middle relievers should he be called back up.
May 26, 2009
David Robertson has been recalled by the Yankees from Triple-A, according to the Associated Press. The club placed Brian Bruney (strained elbow) on the 15-day DL as the adjoining move.
Our View:
The 24-year-old reliever has fired 43 strikeouts over 35 career innings with the Yankees, and is worth a look for deeper AL-only leagues while providing depth in the bullpen.
May 9, 2009
FOXsports.com reports that the Yankees have optioned right-hander David Robertson to Triple-A.
Our View:
Robertson was demoted to make room for Brett Tomko. Tomko will take Robertson's spot in the bullpen, likely due to the fact that Robertson allowed eight base runners in 4.1 innings over four appearances.
April 25, 2009
The Yankees recalled right-hander David Robertson from Triple-A on Saturday, according to the AP. He will try to fill in for Brian Bruney who was placed on the 15-day DL earlier in the day.
Our View:
Robertson has appeared in two games for the Yanks already this season. He recorded three strikeouts and didn't give up a run in his two innings of relief. The Yankees are still trying to figure out what they got in front of Mariano Rivera and Robertson could earn a permanent spot in the 'pen with a few good performances.
April 17, 2009
The Journal News is reporting that the Yankees have optioned David Robertson to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Juan Miranda was called up to take his spot.
Our View:
Poor David Robertson. He only lasted one day with the big club before they sent him right back down. He actually pitched very well in his one appearance for the Yanks, going two innings and allowing two hits and no runs with three strikeouts. This move was made to give the Yankees an extra bat on the bench and is not a reflection on his performance.
April 16, 2009
Slam! reports that reliever David Robertson has been recalled from Triple-A to fill Xavier Nady's roster spot.
Our View:
The 24-year-old is a strikeout pitcher who often finds himself with a lot of runners on base. He will be a middle relief option without any fantasy value.
