Picking up a ball for the first time in three weeks, Dellin Betances admitted to having some nerves.
But the right-hander, who started the season on the injured list with a right shoulder impingement and then suffered a setback during a sim game April 11 that required three weeks without throwing, made it through his pregame work Monday that included the restart of a throwing program.
"I was a little nervous to be honest with you," Betances said. "Any time you rest for three weeks, you don't know how you're going to feel but I was really encouraged with what I did today."
