David Robertson felt a tug in his left hamstring Wednesday but expects to be available on Friday.

The Yankees have a scheduled team off day on Thursday. "I don’t feel it right now," the right-hander told reporters late Wednesday night. "It was just a little sore when I got in the dugout so I went to get ice on it to try to keep it from getting inflamed. I'll be ready to go by Friday." Robertson, 28, has posted a cool 3.86 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 13/2 K/BB ratio across 11 2/3 innings of relief this season.

Yankees avoided arbitration with RHP David Robertson by agreeing to a one-year, $3.1 million contract.

They settled just above the midpoint of the two figures exchanged earlier this month. Robertson, who was arbitration-eligible for the second time, posted a 2.67 ERA and 81/19 K/BB ratio over 60 2/3 innings last season. He'll set up for Mariano Rivera in 2013.

David Robertson requested $3.55 million and was offered $2.85 million from the Yankees when arbitration figures were exchanged Friday.

Robertson, who is arbitration-eligible for the second time, earned $1.6 million last season while posting a 2.67 ERA and 81/19 K/BB ratio over 60 2/3 innings. The two sides will try to find a middle ground prior to a possible hearing in February.

David Robertson gave up two runs and four hits in two-thirds of an inning out of the pen Wednesday against the Jays.

Robertson might have gotten tagged with his fourth loss in 10 appearances if not for Ichiro Suzuki making a fine catch on a liner to left. As is, he was credited with his 29th hold despite the sloppy performance. His struggles have to be a source of concern for the Yankees.

David Robertson - R - Yankees

Yankees activated RHP David Robertson from the 15-day disabled list.

Robertson made two scoreless rehab appearances with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this week and is available for Friday's game against the Nationals. The 27-year-old right-hander has been sidelined for exactly one month with an oblique strain. He'll return in a setup role in front of closer Rafael Soriano.

David Robertson (oblique) tossed a scoreless inning Tuesday in his second rehab appearance with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Robertson didn't allow a hit and struck out one. He has two scoreless rehab appearances under his belt, which should be enough for him to rejoin the Yankees' bullpen this weekend against the Nationals. He's expected to return in a set-up capacity.

David Robertson - R - Yankees

David Robertson (oblique) has been cleared to begin a minor league rehab assignment.

Robertson will likely make two appearances for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before rejoining the Yankees' bullpen. He's expected to set up for new closer Rafael Soriano initially but could see save opportunities down the road. Robertson's stellar strikeout rate makes him worth owning in fantasy leagues no matter his role.
