Yankees reliever David Robertson is expected to play catch Monday, The Journal News reports. He also hopes to throw a bullpen session Tuesday.

Robertson seems confident that these next two steps performed with no issues should be enough for him to return to the mound for New York. That said, manager Joe Girardi is unsure if he'll be available for the Yankees Tuesday.

"I’ll do what the training staff and everyone tells us he’s ready to do,” Girardi said. “I’d take him today if I could have him."
