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.
