Betances will receive a cortisone shot Saturday to help with inflammation in his right shoulder. He'll be shut down from throwing for three weeks and won't have a chance to return until the end of May, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
He's also apparently dealing with a bone spur in his shoulder, which may be the root cause of the inflammation. Betances suffered a setback during Thursday's simulated game, and an MRI confirmed that he'll remain on the injured list for nearly two more months. This is devastating news for the Yankees, who continue to be plagued by injuries early in the 2019 campaign.
