Yankees' Dellin Betances: Likely unavailable Wednesday after 40 pitches

Betances allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while recording just one out in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

Analysis:

Pitching on a third consecutive day, the normally reliable Yankees closer was mostly ineffective, but after being pulled with the bases loaded and one out, Blake Parker came in and was able to navigate the team to a win. Betances threw 40 pitches Tuesday and will likely be unavailable Wednesday -- and maybe even Thursday also -- if the team finds itself in a save situation. Tyler Clippard, who was not among the seven relievers used Tuesday, figures to fill in as the closer if the need arises.
