Tampa, FL (Sports Network) -
New York Yankees pitcher David Robertson has a right mid-foot sprain after falling down a flight of stairs while moving boxes at his spring training home.
Robertson suffered the injury Wednesday night. X-rays came back negative on Thursday morning and he will also undergo an MRI exam.
The 26-year-old Robertson is coming off a stellar 2011 season, registering a 4-0 record and 1.08 ERA in 70 games. He also had 100 strikeouts in 66 2/3 innings while being named an American League All-Star.
