• Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Should join rotation early

  Rotowire Mar 22, 2025

  Bello (shoulder) expects to be activated by the first or second week of April, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. Bello will open the regular season on the 15-day injured list and remain behind in Fort Myers when the Red Sox break camp. His IL stint can be backdated by as many as three days, so in theory the pitcher could be ready for the club's first home series against the Cardinals, which begins April 4. Boston opens the regular season with two road stops, first in Texas and then Baltimore.

  Rotowire Mar 15, 2025

  Bello (shoulder) is set to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. Bello will not be ready for Opening Day and will begin the 2025 regular season on the injured list. With Bello, Kutter Crawford (knee) and Lucas Giolito (hamstring) expected to open on the IL, Quinn Priester, Richard Fitts and Cooper Criswell are candidates to be part of the rotation in the early weeks of the regular season.

• Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Opening Day looking unlikely

  Rotowire Mar 8, 2025

  Manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Bello (shoulder) is still behind schedule but is progressing well, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports. Bello began experiencing shoulder soreness early on in camp, and with just over two weeks left in spring training, it's becoming increasingly likely that he'll require a stint on the injured list to open the season. Should that be the case, Quinn Priester and Richard Fitts would be the leading candidates to fill the open spot in Boston's rotation.

• Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Opening Day not guaranteed

  Rotowire Mar 2, 2025

  Bello (shoulder) will throw another bullpen session Monday, and manager Alex Cora said the organization is "still shooting for him to be on the Opening Day roster, but obviously it's March 2 now," Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. The right-hander was briefly shut down at the start of camp due to shoulder soreness, so he's a bit behind in his preparations for the start of the regular season. Bello still has more than four weeks to ramp up ahead of Opening Day and has a realistic chance to be available -- especially since he probably wouldn't be pitching in the first couple games of the season anyway -- but he may need a clean buildup the rest of the way to avoid an IL stint to begin the campaign.

• Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Throws bullpen

  Rotowire Mar 1, 2025

  Bello (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Friday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. Bello threw approximately 30 pitches at about 70-to-75 percent intensity. The 25-year-old right-hander has been slowed by shoulder inflammation and is at the edge of having enough time to be ready for start of the regular season, March 27 in Texas. Unlike in 2024, when Bello was given the Opening Day start, that honor is expected to go to Garrett Crochet this season. As such, Bello could still be available at the back end of the rotation for the first week.

• Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Side session set for Friday

  Rotowire Feb 26, 2025

  Bello (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. Bello has been slowed in camp by right shoulder soreness but has been throwing on flat ground without issue and will take the next step in his throwing progression Friday. The Red Sox remain optimistic that the right-hander has enough time to be ready for Opening Day, but Bello will have to continue showing progress without having any setbacks.

• Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Throwing from 90 feet

  Rotowire Feb 23, 2025

  Bello (shoulder) has extended his throwing program to 90 feet and will undergo a strength test Sunday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. The right-hander was shut down briefly at the start of camp due to shoulder soreness, and he's still building up his arm strength before progressing to bullpen sessions. Bello's availability for the beginning of the regular season remains up in the air, and he may need to return to mound work soon to avoid a delayed start to the campaign.

• Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Managing sore shoulder

  Rotowire Feb 14, 2025

  Bello was shut down for a few days due to shoulder soreness but has resumed throwing, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. It's encouraging that the right-hander is already back to throwing, but any arm issues early in camp are a cause for at least mild concern. There's no indication that Bello's availability for the start of the regular season has been affected however, and Boston is counting on him to take a regular turn in a rotation that already features question marks in Walker Buehler and Lucas Giolito (elbow).

• Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Wild in 13th win

  Rotowire Sep 9, 2024

• Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Takes step back against Mets

  Rotowire Sep 2, 2024

  Bello (12-7) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four batters over five innings. Bello had been on a roll coming into Monday, notching three quality starts over his past four appearances and posting a 2.49 ERA during that span. He wasn't up to that level of performance against New York, as he allowed at least one run in each of the second, third and fourth innings and didn't retire the side in order until his fifth (and final) frame. Bello still managed to keep Boston in the game, and his next start is lined up to be a juicy matchup against the hapless White Sox this weekend.

  Rotowire Aug 9, 2024

  The Red Sox placed Bello on the paternity list Friday, but he will return in time for his scheduled start Monday against Texas, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

• Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Earns 10th win

  Rotowire Jul 14, 2024

  Bello (10-5) picked up the win Sunday, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk over 6.1 innings against the Royals. He struck out three. Bello's day started by allowing a leadoff homer to Adam Frazier, but he was quickly staked to a 4-1 lead and scattered only two additional runs the rest of the way while working into the seventh inning for the second time in three starts and just the third time this season. Bello has alternated good and bad outings recently, with Sunday representing his third quality start in his last six while he has allowed 16 earned runs in the other three appearances while failing to complete five innings twice. Bello places 10th in the majors with 10 wins; however, an ERA of 5.32 with a 1.47 WHIP and 85 strikeouts over 89.2 innings represent disappointing figures for the talented 25-year-old righty.

• Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Fans seven in eighth win

  Rotowire Jul 4, 2024

  Bello (8-5) picked up the win Wednesday, allowing one run on seven hits and a walk over 6.2 innings in a 7-2 victory over the Marlins. He struck out seven. The 25-year-old right-hander was given a breather by the Red Sox -- his last start came back on June 25, when he lasted only 2.1 innings and surrendered seven runs to the Blue Jays -- and it paid off, as Bello produced his fourth quality start of the season on 91 pitches (61 strikes). The seven Ks were his highest total since May 28, while Wednesday's outing was the first time he hadn't issued multiple free passes since May 17. Bello should resume his regular turn in the rotation after this performance, which lines him up to take the mound at home early next week against the A's.
