New York Mets: Dellin Betances to make spring debut on Saturday

Error 0:

The New York Mets received some good news out of camp in the last few hours. Dellin Betances, their star signing to provide more firepower to the bullpen corps, is now ready to take the hill in an official game and will do so on Saturday against the Washington Nationals.

It will be the Grapefruit League debut for the tall right-hander, who came from the New York Yankees on a one-year deal with an option for 2021.

The New York Mets were taking it slow with their prized reliever. Last season, he missed most of the action with shoulder issues, and then when he came back in mid-September, he tore his Achilles tendon while hopping off the mound.
