New York Mets RHP Dellin Betances went on the IL today with right lat tightness. Betances has had a difficult year with an ERA of 6.10 and a WHIP of 1.65.  He has also had a decrease in velocity after his fastball dropped from 94.1 mph on Friday to 92.4 mph on the fastball in yesterday's game when he took the loss in the bottom of the ninth after he threw the walk-off wild pitch.  Betances isn't the dominant pitcher he used to be for the Yankees from 2014-2018 and is now facing a crossroads in his career. He has to find a way to be effective without the velocity that he once had.
