Yankees' David Robertson Falls Down Stairs, Injures Foot

New York Yankees reliever David Robertson has made a big misstep -- quite literally -- in his preparation for the 2012 season. The All-Star setup man fell down the stairs Wednesday night while moving boxes in his Tampa home near Yankees camp, spraining his right foot.

An initial X-ray was negative and Robertson went in today for an MRI, the Associated Press reports. Robertson has been put in a walking boot.

“I’m concerned,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi told the AP. “It hurt him to walk, [and] you assume that he’s going to be down a little bit of time even if everything comes back OK. Now that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have time to get ready for the season. But you’ve got to start over a little bit.”
