Dellin Betances

RHP Dellin Betances has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

This is a promising landing spot for the former closer. Betances has only appeared in 17 games since 2018 sporting an ERA of 7.43 in that time. The Dodgers will take a shot on him to see if they can recapture some of his former glory.

Mets pitcher Dellin Betances has become a free agent after he failed to reach his vesting option in 2021.

Fantasy Impact

Betances threw just one inning in 2021 before undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery. The 33-year-old will likely land a low-risk, high-upside minor league deal with an invitation to Spring Training.

Dellin Betances is set to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery, according to Mets manager Luis Rojas.

Fantasy Impact

Betances recently began a rehab assignment where he tossed a scoreless inning with Triple-A Syracuse. It isn't exactly clear what happened to him after that appearance that resulted in needing this surgery, but it is clear he suffered some sort of major setback.

Mets RHP Dellin Betances (shoulder) threw one inning in a minor league rehab appearance for Low-A St. Lucie on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Betances struck out two and walked one in a scoreless inning. The Mets will continue giving him chances to prove he belongs in a big league bullpen. They're reportedly pleased with how Betances has been able to strengthen his shoulder as of late.

Mets manager Luis Rojas noted that reliever Dellin Betances threw side sessions, but they don't have plans for rehab assignments as they're to be determined.

Fantasy Impact

With only 13.1 innings from 2019-2021, Betances has battled injuries. The main priority is his health, and unfortunately, he isn't fantasy relevant after some workhorse reliever-type roles from 2014-2018.
