Dellin Betances has been shut down again Tuesday with a low-grade strain in his right lat, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Betances suffered a low-grade lat strain on Friday while ramping up his rehab. An MRI revealed Tuesday that the probe was worse than initially expected. There is no timetable currently for Betances and fantasy owners should move on from the reliever if they have been stashing him.

Yankees transferred RHP Dellin Betances from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

The move does not change the timetable for Betances return. The veteran reliever has been out all season with shoulder inflammation and has been throwing but his timetable to return is currently for June.

Betances won't be able to throw for three weeks and won't return before 6-7 weeks. The Yankees simply can't catch a break right now. The only good news here is that the injury isn't a season ender. Fantasy owners in leagues that count holds should try and hold on to Betances if possible, but it's perfectly reasonable to cut bait in most leagues.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Betances' simulated game Thursday "did not go well" but did not elaborate.

The Yankees can't catch a break on the injury front. Results of Betances' MRI weren't immediately available, but this obviously sets Betances' potential return to the big-league club back.

Betances started having a shoulder issue late in spring training but is progressing nicely. The plan is for him to throw a sim game on Thursday and possibly even pitch in a minor league rehab game this weekend. The Yankees shouldn’t be without their top set up man for much longer.
