Robertson With Mid-Foot Strain

David Robertson is probable to miss the next few weeks of spring training with a mid-foot strain on his right foot. He suffered the injury as he "missed a step" on a staircase Wednesday.

Oy vey.

X-rays were negative on Wednesday, but he's undergo a MRI (results pending). Robertson uses his right foot to push off of the rubber.

"I’m concerned,” manager Joe Girardi said. “By the way I saw him walking today – it hurt him to walk – you assume he’s going to be down a little time, even if everything comes back OK. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have time to get ready for the season, but he’ll have to start over a little bit. Not totally, but a little bit.

“If you’re going to miss him for a substantial amount of time, you’re going to be concerned. If he’s going to be out a week or 10 days, you’re probably not going to be too concerned about that.”
