New York Yankees — David Robertson could return from his right shoulder tendinitis within the next few days, but it might be a few days longer for Boone Logan, who needed a cortisone shot in his left elbow over the weekend. Without their top set-up guys, New York is relying on Shawn Kelley and Adam Warren, and summoning Mariano Rivera for multi-inning save chances whenever necessary. Hierarchy change: Shawn Kelley to Set-up, Adam Warren to 2nd in line, David Robertson and Boone Logan injured.

VULTURE SAVE WATCH
1. Santiago Casilla, San Francisco Giants — Sergio Romo took the loss last night and has pitched in three straight games.
2. Jared Burton, Minnesota Twins – Glen Perkins has pitched in three straight games.
3. Jason Grilli/Tony Watson, Pittsburgh Pirates — Mark Melancon had an unusual two-run outing on Tuesday: two strikeouts, then four straight singles before a final strikeout. Because he needed 30 pitches on his second straight day of work, he might get Wednesday off.
