Robertson to DL, Soriano to close

Rafael Soriano (RHP, NYY) successfully converted a save opportunity May 10, when David Robertson (RHP, NYY) was unavailable after pitching the previous two days.  Robertson was still expected to get the next opportunity, but Soriano got the call in the ninth on May 14, and again got the job done.  As it turns out, Robertson was unavailable then as well, due to a strained oblique that is expected to sideline him for about three weeks.  Those who have stashed Soriano away could be rewarded, as he is in line for saves now, and there's no guarantee Robertson reclaims the job when healthy.
