And the Yankees suffered another injury. Bettances came back pitched to two batters.

Yankees lose Dellin Betances to Achilles injury

NEW YORK — New York Yankees reliever Dellin Betances deserves much better than this. But unfortunately, his 2019 season will consist of only eight pitches.

Betances suffered a season-ending partial tear of his left Achilles tendon while making his 2019 debut on Sunday in Toronto, the Yankees announced following Tuesday’s 8-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels at Yankee Stadium.

Surgery is not being recommended at this point, but cannot be ruled out, according to the team. Betances saw Dr. Justin Greisberg at New York Presbyterian Hospital, and will get a second opinion from Dr. Martin O’Malley at the Hospital for Special Surgery at a later date to be determined.

The 31-year-old veteran, who had sidelined due to a right shoulder impingement and a lat strain, suffered the injury while jumping off the mound when he mistakenly thought he’d recorded the third out of the inning. Betances ended up striking out the only two batters he faced before departing as planned.
