Yankees recalled RHP Dellin Betances from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Betances was converted from a starter to a reliever just last week and will pitch out of the bullpen in New York. The former top prospect was sporting an underwhelming 5.40 ERA through 28 1/3 innings this season at the Triple-A level. He will carry no fantasy value. May 16 - 3:16 PM

The Yankees are converting Dellin Betances to a full-time reliever at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

It's a move that's probably overdue. Betances has put up a 6.37 ERA while walking 115 over 155 1/3 innings since the start of the 2012 season. He should have no trouble throwing in the high-90s as a reliever, giving him a better chance of making it even if his control isn't great.

Yankees placed RHP Dellin Betances on the 60-day disabled list with a right shoulder injury.

Betances landed on the minor league disabled list in late August, and the Yankees are now shutting him down for the rest of the season. It's been a nightmare year for one of the Bombers' top pitching prospects. He posted a 6.44 ERA over 131 1/3 innings between Double-A and Triple-A.

Yankees pitching prospect Dellin Betances was placed on the disabled list with Double-A Trenton due to right shoulder soreness.

It's been a bad year for Yankees' pitching prospects. Betances, who entered the year ranked as the No. 63 prospect in the game by Baseball America, has an ugly 6.44 ERA and 124/99 K/BB ratio over 131 1/3 innings this season between Double- and Triple-A. No word yet on the severity of the injury, but the Yanks might just decide to shut him down for the year at this point.

According to Josh Norris of the Trentonian, the White Sox are targeting Yankees' prospect right-hander Dellin Betances.

It's not clear whether the Yankees actually shopping Betances, but the White Sox have scouted each of his last three starts. The 24-year-old was demoted to Double-A Trenton last month after going 3-5 with a 6.39 ERA and a 71/69 K/BB ratio in 74 2/3 innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. However, he has turned things around a bit at Double-A, posting a 2.41 ERA and a 20/7 K/BB ratio in 18 2/3 innings. While Betances' stock has tumbled a bit this year, it's hard to see a match in a potential trade.

Dellin Betances has been demoted to Double-A Trenton.

Betances posted a troubling 6.39 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and 71/69 K/BB ratio in 74 2/3 innings this year for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 24-year-old right-hander is still an intriguing prospect, but he's struggled mightily above the Double-A level. The shine has certainly worn off a bit.

Six days after his disastrous major league debut, Dellin Betances looked much better in Wednesday's regular season finale, tossing two shutout innings of one-hit ball.

He also walked two and struck out two, requiring 44 pitches during his brief start. The 23-year-old ends 2011 on a high note, and will enter 2012 as a strong candidate for a bullpen spot.

Dellin Betances will start Wednesday's season finale against the Rays.

Wednesday's starter has been TBA until now. Betances struggled in his major league debut against the Rays last week, throwing just seven out of 27 pitches for strikes while walking four and hitting a batter. The Yankees are expected to rely heavily on their bullpen in this game, mostly with pitchers who will not be on the playoff roster.

Dellin Betances failed to deliver in his major league debut, walking four batters and hitting another in two-thirds of an inning.

Betances threw only seven of 27 pitches for strikes. Three of the four Rays he walked have batting averages below .200. It was an inauspicious beginning to what some believe will be a very successful career. If anyone thought Betances would help the Yankees in the playoffs, this could be a sign that he needs a little more seasoning.

Yankees recalled RHP Dellin Betances from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Betances might not make an appearance during the final month, but the Yankees want him to get acclimated to the big league scene. It's something a lot of teams do with their young players. Betances, 23, posted a 3.70 ERA and 142/70 K/BB ratio in 126 1/3 innings this season between Double- and Triple-A.

According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Dellin Betances will "definitely" join the Yankees this weekend.

While Betances isn't a lock to make an appearance down the stretch, the Yankees want him exposed to life as a big leaguer. Betances, 23, posted a 3.70 ERA and 142/70 K/BB ratio in 126 1/3 innings this season between Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Baseball America ranked him as the 26th best prospect on their midseason list.

According to Jack Curry of the YES Network, Dellin Betances "might soon join the Yankees."

Betances, 23, has registered a 3.70 ERA and 142/70 K/BB ratio in 126 1/3 innings this season between Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The highly-regarded pitching prospect could add a nice element to the Yankees' bullpen down the stretch, but probably won't carry any fantasy value until next year or 2013.

CBS Sports' Danny Knobler thinks top prospect Dellin Betances could eventually get a crack at filling Joba Chamberlain's vacant middle relief spot in the Yankees bullpen.

Since using former top prospect Chamberlain in middle relief ended up being so beneficial to his career. One of the top starting pitching prospects in all of baseball, Betances has been dynamite for Double-A Trenton this season, posting a 1.75 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 58/23 K/BB ratio in 51 1/3 innings across 10 starts.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman has not ruled out calling up pitching prospects Dellin Betances or Manny Banuelos this season.

"They are pitching without interference and I am glad they are doing well," he said before adding, "I am not holding any internal conversations about dates down the road to bring them up." Both have been pitching very effectively for Double-A Trenton, but it's not terribly likely we will see either before rosters are expanded in September, even though the Yankees rotation still has some question marks in it. The Yankees tend to play it safer with their prospects than almost any other club in the big leagues.
