Betances (shoulder) to start season on injured list:
Shaikin: Trout saw a bright future with the Angelshas inflammation in his right shoulder and will start the regular season on the injured list.
New York general manager Brian Cashman said an MRI was done on Betances on Tuesday after the 6-8, 265-pound right-hander continued to lack velocity in his fastball. "He's had a history in the past of slow starting, but this was a little bit more longer and more significant than we recalled," Cashman said.He curtailed his off-season throwing program awaiting the birth of his child and was given permission to report a few days late for spring training.
"I feel like I was trying to rush it," Betances said."I just felt like I was behind the whole time. I'm not too concerned because I think it was just more for caution.""We need to give him a timeout, hit him with an anti-inflammatory so we can restart that clock," Cashman said."Not the end of the world to have him miss a little bit of time and save some innings over the course of a long season," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.
