"David Robertson and Joba Chamberlain will not be headed to arbitration with the Yankees. Both relievers agreed to one-year contracts yesterday, avoiding arbitration.

Robertson is expected to receive $1.6 million plus incentives and Chamberlain $1.67 million.

A day earlier, Phil Hughes avoided arbitration with the club by agreeing to a one-year deal worth $3.2 million.

Robertson emerged as the Yankees' most consistent reliever last season, finishing 4-0 with a 1.08 ERA in 70 games. The right-hander led AL relievers in ERA.

Chamberlain's season ended in June, and he had to undergo Tommy John surgery. He went 2-0 with a 2.83 ERA in 27 appearances for the Yankees last season. The Yankees are hopeful he will return before the All-Star break in 2012."
