Yankees 2019 Roster Report Card: Dellin Betances

How do you give a grade to a player who spent all season trying to get healthy, only to return for one inning before partially tearing his left Achilles tendon? The answer is, you don’t. All you can really do is hope Betances is able to put shoulder and Achilles injuries behind him and get his exceptional career back on track in 2020.

Grade: Incomplete

2019 Stats: 0.2 IP, 2 strikeouts

2020 Contract Status: Free agent

Betances began the season on the injured list with a shoulder impingement, and it was later revealed that he’s had a previously inconsequential bone spur in his right shoulder since the team drafted him in 2006.
