Yankees' Dellin Betances: Not available out of bullpen Saturday
Betances will not be available out of the bullpen for Saturday's game against Boston, Wallace Matthews of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis:
Manager Joe Girardi has ridden Betances for much of the season, especially after the Yankees dealt Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman. The heavy usage appeared to catch up to Betances on Thursday, his third consecutive day on the mound, when he gave up four runs to the Red Sox. Adam Warren or Tyler Clippard would be the likely candidates to close Saturday if a save situation arises.
