| Feb 6 2024 | Bellati was designated for assignment by the Phillies on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bellati made 27 appearances for the Phillies last season and was unimpressive with a 5.11 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB over 24.2 innings. The right-hander has no remaining minor-league options, so Philadelphia opted to removed him from the 40-man roster to clear space for trade-acquisition Michael Rucker. |
|
| Sep 11 2023 | The Phillies optioned Bellatti to Triple-A Lehigh Valley following their 10-8 extra-inning loss to Atlanta in the first game of Monday's doubleheader, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ahead of the second game of the twin bill, the Phillies will bring aboard Yunior Marte from Triple-A to replace Bellatti in the bullpen. Bellatti tossed 1.2 innings and 21 pitches in relief of starter Taijuan Walker in Game 1, giving up two runs on two hits and one walk while striking out one. |
|
| Aug 19 2023 | The Phillies recalled Bellatti from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Ranger Suarez (hamstring) headed for the injured list, Bellatti will come up from Triple-A to offer additional pitching depth. The 32-year-old righty holds a 5.06 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in the majors this season through 16 frames and will likely serve in middle relief while with Philadelphia. |
|
| Jul 25 2023 | Philadelphia optioned Bellatti to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bellatti allowed one run in 3.1 innings (four appearances) during his latest stay in the Phillies' bullpen, but the team needed to make room for the return of Seranthony Dominguez, who is back from a five-week absence to heal a left oblique strain. |
|
| Jul 9 2023 | The Phillies recalled Bellatti from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll be joining the Philadelphia bullpen as a replacement for southpaw Jose Alvarado (elbow), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Bellatti has previously made 15 appearances with the big club this season, pitching to a 5.68 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB in 12.2 innings. |
|
| May 23 2023 | The Phillies optioned Bellatti to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Dylan Covey, claimed off waivers from the Dodgers this weekend, will fill the vacant 26-man roster spot. Bellatti, 31, has struggled to a 5.68 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 14:9 K:BB in 12.2 innings of relief this season at the major-league level. |
|
| May 10 2023 | The Phillies reinstated Bellatti (triceps) off the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bellatti will join the active roster as a replacement for left-hander Jose Alvarado, who was placed on the IL with elbow inflammation. Bellatti missed a little over two weeks with right triceps tendinitis, but now that he's healthy again after tossing scoreless innings in both of his rehab appearances with Single-A Clearwater, he'll be a bridge option for the Phillies in the mid-to-late innings. |
|
| May 5 2023 | Bellatti (triceps) will begin a rehab assignment Friday with Low-A Clearwater. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bellatti got the go-ahead to return to live competition after completing a 25-pitch round of live batting practice earlier this week. Out since April 22 due to right triceps tendinitis, he should be an option again for the Phillies' bullpen by mid-May. |
|
| May 3 2023 | Bellatti (triceps) threw live batting practice Tuesday, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Phillies manager Rob Thomson relayed that Bellatti looked good while throwing around 25 pitches Tuesday. Bellatti is in line to head to the Phillies' spring training complex in Lakeland, Fla. for two throwing sessions over the weekend before he begins a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley next week. |
|
| Aug 22 2022 | Bellatti walked one batter and struck out two in a scoreless inning while earning a save over the Reds on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bellatti worked around a leadoff walk to finish the 4-1 win with little issue. It was his second save of the year and first since June 26. The 31-year-old lowered his ERA to 3.76 through 45 appearances. Bellatti is one of several Phillies that are expected to see some ninth-inning work while Seranthony Dominguez (triceps) is out. |
|
| Jul 11 2022 | Bellatti has been named the starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bellatti has allowed just one run over his last eight appearances, fanning 12 and walking two over that stretch (7.2 innings). His longest outing of the season lasted 1.1 innings, so he'll be asked to give his club an inning or so before making way for the primary pitcher, who has yet to be determined. |
|
| Jun 26 2022 | Bellatti pitched a perfect ninth inning with one strikeout to earn the save in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Padres. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Interim manager Rob Thomson didn't want to turn to his top relievers, Seranthony Dominguez and Brad Hand, due to heavy usage lately, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. Bellatti was called upon instead, and he was able to lock down his first major-league save with 14 pitches (nine strikes). In June, Bellatti has allowed three runs (two earned) in 7.1 innings, and he owns a reasonable 3.42 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB across 23.2 innings overall. He's added four holds and a 1-2 record, but Sunday's save doesn't necessarily signal his entrance into the Phillies closer committee just yet. |
|
| Jun 17 2022 | Bellatti picked up his third hold of the year in the second half of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals, striking out two batters in two-thirds of an innings while allowing an unearned run on one hit. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bellatti entered the top of the ninth in position to record his first career save, as the Phillies has already used Seranthony Dominguez and Brad Hand in the first game of the day. He sandwiched a Yadiel Hernandez single between a pair of strikeouts but was pulled for lefty Jose Alvarado with Juan Soto up and the game on the line. Hernandez would eventually come around to score on a Didi Gregorius error, denying Bellatti the save and leaving him with a hold. |
|
| Apr 14 2022 | Bellatti's contract was selected by the Phillies on Thursday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 30-year-old righty owns a 3.71 ERA in 26.2 career major-league innings, though his 19.3 percent strikeout rate and 10.5 percent walk rate suggest that number is due to rise. He'll fill a low-leverage role for the Phillies for now after Connor Brogdon and Damon Jones were optioned Wednesday. |
|
| Oct 1 2021 | Bellatti had his contract selected by the Marlins on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bellatti had a two-game stint in the majors in July before being designated for assignment, and he'll rejoin the Marlins for the final three games of the season. The right-hander dominated at Triple-A Jacksonville out of the bullpen with a 1.52 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 38:10 K:BB over 29.2 innings. |
|
| Jul 23 2021 | Bellatti was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bellatti's contract was selected by Miami on Monday, and he allowed five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two in 2.1 innings across two relief appearances. He'll now be cast off the 40-man roster after Deven Marrero's contract was selected as part of a corresponding move. |
|
| Jul 19 2021 | Bellatti's contract was selected by the Marlins on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old has 23.1 innings of big-league experience under his belt, all of which came back in 2015 for the Rays. He's thrown 10 innings for Triple-A Jacksonville this season, allowing three runs while striking out 12 batters. He'll likely serve in a low-leverage role during his time in the majors. |
|
| Mar 14 2017 | Bellatti signed a minor league contract with the Orioles and was sent to Twin Lakes Park, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports. | The 25-year-old pitched briefly in the majors in 2015, accumulating a 2.31 ERA across 23.1 innings with the Rays before being optioned back down to Triple-A. However, Bellatti failed to make the Opening Day roster and struggled mightily in the minors in 2016, recording a 6.91 ERA in 14.1 innings of work. He'll serve as organization depth for the Orioles, who are hoping he can find his form again in their minor league system. |
|
| Apr 2 2016 | Bellatti was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Saturday, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune | Bellatti was in competition for a bullpen spot with the Rays, but the team has opted to go with Dana Eveland and Danny Farquhar on the Opening Day roster. The 24-year-old Bellatti had an impressive debut with the Rays last season, posting a 2.31 ERA across 23.3 innings, and he could be in line for a call up later in the season in the event of an injury or performance drop-off. |
|
| Apr 1 2016 | Bellatti will find out if he made the Rays' Opening Day roster Saturday, Marc Topkin of The Tampa Bay Times reports. | Bellatti is competing with Mikie Mahtook, Dana Eveland, and Danny Farquhar for the final two spots on the team. The San Diego native was impressive in a short stint with Tampa Bay in 2015, posting a 2.31 ERA over 23.3 innings of work and hasn't slowed down one bit this spring, putting up a 2.00 ERA in nine innings, making him a very likely candidate to make the Opening Day roster. |
|
| Mar 31 2016 | Bellati threw two scoreless innings and struck out two in Wednesday's 4-3 spring victory over a Red Sox split squad. | Bellati continued his strong bid for a bullpen spot, and bounced back from his only poor outing of the exhibition slate versus the Blue Jays on Sunday. Bellati gave up his only three earned runs of the spring in that contest, but may have clinched an Opening Day roster spot with his Wednesday effort. He's generated an excellent 1.93 ERA over 9.1 spring innings. |
|
| Mar 26 2016 | Bellatti, competing for a bullpen role, has yet to give up an earned run over five appearances during 2016 spring training. | The 24-year-old right-hander, who posted a 3-1 record and 2.31 ERA over 17 appearances with the Rays in his 2015 rookie campaign, has been highly effective in his quest for a bullpen slot. Although he was jostled between the minors and the big-league club on multiple occasions last season, Bellatti showed sufficient promise so as to warrant an extended look during this year's exhibition slate. He's largely delivered, surrendering just four hits and an unearned run over his six innings of work. The control struggles that plagued him at times this season have also yet to manifest, with the only pair of free passes he's handed out coming in his initial appearance on Mar. 2. Considering his performance so far, Bellatti figures to be in the running for a spot on the Opening Day roster right up to final cuts. |
|
| Sep 8 2015 | Bellatti was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday. | Bellatti made a couple of starts earlier in the season, but he will likely serve as a long reliever/mop-up man this time around. He posted a 5.47 ERA and 44:15 K:BB ratio over 46.1 innings for Triple-A Durham this season. |
|
| Sep 7 2015 | Bellatti will be called up Tuesday, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Tribune reports. | Bellatti has appeared in only five major league games on the year, allowing seven hits and two earned runs over 12.0 innings. The 23-year-old has been less-than-stellar at Triple-A, going 2-1 with a 5.47 ERA across 51.0 innings. |
|
| Jul 11 2015 | Bellatti was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Friday in advance of Jake Odorizzi's impending activation, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. | The Rays have maintained an active carousel of optioning and calling up relievers, so it's a decent bet that Bellatti returns to Tampa Bay by the time the season is over. The 23-year-old made a single appearance after returning from the DL, throwing two scoreless innings Wednesday. |
|
| Jul 7 2015 | Bellatti (shoulder) was activated from the DL Tuesday, the Tampa Tribune's Roger Mooney reports. | He was placed on the DL in early June with shoulder tendinitis and should return to pitching out of the Rays' bullpen. Everett Teaford was designated for assignment as a corresponding move. |
|
| Jul 4 2015 | Bellatti (shoulder) had a rough outing in his rehab debut, allowing four earned runs and six hits in 2.2 innings, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. | Although the result wasn't good, the more important part of the outing was accomplished as Bellatti reached 40 pitches without aggravating his shoulder. He could return from the DL soon, but where he lands could still be a question. |
|
| Jun 30 2015 | Bellatti (shoulder) will make his first rehab start Tuesday with High-A Charlotte, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. | Where Bellatti lands after his DL stint will be a function of how the Rays' bullpen is doing, which has been a very fluid situation in 2015. He could conceivably replace someone like Kirby Yates, but his return could be far enough way that a reliever get injured and makes him more needed on the major league club. |
|
| Jun 28 2015 | Bellatti (shoulder) threw 26 pitches during live batting practice Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. | Bellatti indicated he felt good during the session and is now set to embark on a rehab assignment during the coming week. He's been on the disabled list since June 11 with tenditinis in his right shoulder. |
|
| Jun 19 2015 | Bellatti (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a full bullpen session Monday, the Tampa Bay Times reports. | Bellatti may not need a rehab assignment, as he only went a few days without throwing. He'll return to a mound Saturday, just nine days after being placed on the disabled list. |
|
| Jun 14 2015 | Bellatti (shoulder) began playing catch Sunday, MLB.com's Bill Chastain reports. | It's just the initial step in the recovery process for Bellatti, who was placed on the DL on June 11 with right shoulder tendinitis. He should return to the Rays in close to the 15-day minimum. |
|
| Jun 11 2015 | Bellatti has been placed on the 15-day DL with right shoulder tendinitis. | Bellatti's third majors stint in 2015 will last a total of zero appearances, as the Rays must not have liked what they saw when he came back from Durham. He'll be eligible to return June 26, assuming Tampa Bay didn't make the assignment retroactive to when he was called up. However, making sure his shoulder is good to go could take a while longer. |
|
| Jun 9 2015 | Bellatti was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. | Jake Odorizzi (oblique) was placed on the disabled list, leaving an open spot in Tampa Bay's rotation. Bellatti probably isn't stretched out enough to contribute a full five or six innings, but he could help fill the void in Thursday's matchup with the Angels. The Rays have yet to name a probable starter. |
|
| Jun 6 2015 | Bellatti was optioned to Triple-A Durham prior to Saturday's game, the Tacoma News Tribune's Bob Dutton reports. | He pitched three scoreless innings Friday and got the victory, but the Rays rewarded him by sending him back to Durham. He had a 1.80 ERA in 10 innings pitched out of the bullpen for Tampa Bay, and it would stand to reason that he will be back with the big league club at some point this season. |
|
| Jun 6 2015 | Bellatti (2-0) delivered yeoman's work Friday, picking up the win in Seattle by tossing three shutout innings. He struck out three, walked two and allowed two hits. | The Rays needed their bullpen to step up after Jake Odorizzi left early with an injury, and Bellatti did just that, bouncing back nicely from his last outing June 1 against the Angels, in which he gave up a two-run homer to Albert Pujols. He should continue seeing middle-relief work for Tampa, but his high walk rate -- seven in 10 innings -- will keep him from a higher-leverage role for now. |
|
| Jun 1 2015 | The Rays recalled Bellatti on Monday, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Tribune reports. | With Tim Beckham heading to the disabled list, Bellatti comes up from Triple-A Durham to replace him. In two appearances with the Rays earlier this season, Bellatti gave up zero earned runs and posted a 6:4 K:BB ratio over six innings. |
|
| May 8 2015 | The Rays recalled Bellatti from Triple-A Durham on Friday. | Bellatti just reached the Triple-A level for the first time this season, but he quickly earned a promotion to the majors by giving up just five earned runs (2.11 ERA) and posting a 20:5 K:BB ratio over 21.1 innings. Expect him to work in middle relief for the Rays. |
