TAMPA, Fla. -- David Robertson doesn't see a problem being ready for Opening Day.
The reliever pitched a scoreless inning Sunday, his first appearance since suffering a bone bruise in his right foot in a fall at his home March 7.
It was only his second game of spring training.
"It felt good," Robertson said of his foot. "I didn't have any problems. I'm really lucky."
Manager Joe Girardi also said he doesn't see a reason why Robertson won't be ready when the Yankees open the season April 6 in St. Petersburg against the Rays.
"I just need to fine-tune my mechanics," Robertson said. "I should be able to do that in three [more] outings."
"I feel good," Jeter said. "You want to feel good the last week going into the season. I'm making progress. I'm happy with where I am."
"Made it through another," the lefthander said with a smile as he came into the clubhouse afterward. "Everything still feels good."
