The New York Yankees were blessed to see relief pitcher Dellin Betances return to the mound during the regular season. After one outing against the Toronto Blue Jays in September, he tore his left Achilles tendon after an awkward step. This followed a 24-week spell on IR after lat and shoulder issues.
The 6-foot-8 flamethrower was sorely missed in the postseason, as the Yankees bullpen struggled down the stretch. Having him readily available might have given the Bombers the push they needed to get past the Houston Astros in the ALCS. Of course, the reality of his presence might have been different.
