| Jun 27 2025 | Bello (3-3) took the loss Friday against the Blue Jays, giving up three runs on eight hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out one. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While Bello's one punchout tied a season low, he was able to record his fifth quality start in a row and seventh of the year. The eight hits allowed were his second-most of the season, but the 26-year-old right-hander will nonetheless wrap up a strong month of June with a 2.87 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB through his past four outings (31.1 frames). Bello is tentatively set to toe the slab next week versus the Reds, who are batting a hot .265 against right-handed pitching over their last 19 games. |
|
| Jun 21 2025 | Bello (3-2) took the loss against the Giants on Saturday, allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk with six strikeouts over six innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: All three runs charged to Bello came via two home runs, including a two-run shot by former teammate Rafael Devers. Despite taking the loss, the 26-year-old has delivered four straight quality starts in June and has recorded 14 strikeouts over his last two outings. He'll carry a 3.31 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 51:29 K:BB across 65.1 innings into a home matchup with the Blue Jays next weekend. |
|
| Jun 15 2025 | Bello (3-1) yielded three hits and three walks over seven shutout frames Sunday, striking out eight and earning a win over the Yankees. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello delivered his best stuff in a huge matchup against Boston's rival to complete the weekend sweep. He gave up a leadoff double to Trent Grisham to begin the game but only one other Yankee reached scoring position against him. Bello fired 72 of 114 pitches for strikes, including 13 whiffs. He's delivered three straight quality starts and Sunday's performance was his longest outing of the year. Bello is sporting a 3.49 ERA with a 45:28 K:BB through 59.1 frames. He's projected to start in San Francisco next weekend. |
|
| Jun 9 2025 | Bello allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 6.1 innings in a no-decision against Tampa Bay on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello got through three scoreless frames before giving up a run in the fourth and two more in the fifth. One of those runs was unearned, so even though the right-hander was charged with one more run in the seventh, he still was credited with his second straight quality start. Despite allowing a fair amount of traffic on the basepaths, Bello was relatively efficient in tossing 82 pitches (55 strikes), and he logged his second-longest start of the campaign with 6.1 frames. Bello holds a 3.96 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 37:25 K:BB through 52.1 innings this season, and he's lined up to make his next start at home against the rival Yankees. |
|
| Jun 4 2025 | Bello came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Angels, giving up three runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After struggling to complete five innings in a start through most of May, Bello began June with a much sharper outing, tossing 65 of 103 pitches for strikes in his third quality start of the year. The 26-year-old right-hander will carry a 3.91 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 33:24 K:BB through 46 innings into his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Rays. |
|
| May 28 2025 | Bello came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Brewers, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It was another abbreviated outing for Bello, who got the hook after 77 pitches (46 strikes). The right-hander has gone five straight starts without being able to complete the fifth inning, posting a 4.84 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and 17:15 K:BB over 22.1 innings during that stretch, and his inability to provide any length or last long enough to quality for a win is making him increasingly difficult to roster even in deep fantasy formats. Bello will try to find some efficiency in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Angels. |
|
| May 23 2025 | Bello didn't factor into the decision in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Orioles, giving up two runs on six hits and a walk over four innings in a 19-5 win. He struck out seven. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While the seven Ks were a season high for the right-hander, Bello wasn't particularly efficient and needed 87 pitches (55 strikes) to record 12 outs. He left the mound in line for his second loss of the year until the Boston offense opened the floodgates late. Bello has failed to last five innings in four straight starts, a stretch in which he carries a 5.60 ERA, 2.21 WHIP and 15:13 K:BB over 17.2 innings. He'll look to tighten things up in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Milwaukee. |
|
| May 18 2025 | Bello (2-1) took the loss against Atlanta on Sunday, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and five walks with three strikeouts over 4.1 innings | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello dealt with constant traffic on the basepaths and managed just 52 strikes on 92 pitches, generating only four whiffs. After allowing only seven earned runs over his first five starts, the 26-year-old has now failed to complete five innings in three consecutive outings. He'll carry a 4.02 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 20:19 K:BB across 31.1 innings into a home matchup with the Orioles next weekend. |
|
| May 14 2025 | Bello did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's extra-innings loss to the Tigers. He allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello coughed up a run in the first inning and the Tigers plated another on an error in the third. He then served up a solo shot to Spencer Torkelson in the fourth. Bello has failed to complete five innings in back-to-back starts after turning in two consecutive quality starts. He tossed 55 of 92 pitches for strikes and now owns a lackluster 17:14 K:BB through 27 frames. Bello will carry a 2.33 ERA into his next matchup, which is projected to be at home against the Mets. |
|
| May 8 2025 | Bello did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Rangers, allowing four hits and five walks across 4.2 scoreless innings. He struck out one. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello managed to hold the Rangers scoreless despite issuing a season-high five walks. However, he would leave the game in the fifth inning, one out shy of qualifying for the win, after throwing 83 pitches. Overall, Bello is 2-0 with an impressive 2.01 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 13:12 K:BB through his first four starts (22.1 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the Tigers on the road in his next outing. |
|
| May 2 2025 | Bello didn't factor into the decision Friday against Minnesota after allowing one run on four hits and one walk in 6.2 innings. He struck out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After beginning the season on the injured list with a shoulder strain, Bello was able to reach the 100-pitch plateau for the first time in three starts this year. The right-hander also worked into the seventh inning for the first time, yielding a season-low one walk in the process. However, Bello did concede a home run, a third-inning solo shot to Ryan Jeffers, in his third straight outing. Bello will try to reduce the hard contact when he takes a 2.55 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB across 17.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance versus the Rangers, who entered Friday ranked 29th in the majors in runs scored (103). |
|
| Apr 21 2025 | Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed Monday that Bello (shoulder) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to make his season debut Tuesday against the Mariners, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's been the target date for Bello for a while and can now be written down in ink. The right-hander posted a 7.07 ERA in four rehab starts but posted a much more encouraging 21:4 K:BB over 14 innings. Bello didn't pitch in any games this spring and had a high pitch count of 71 during his rehab assignment, so his workload will be limited a bit initially. |
|
| Apr 20 2025 | Bello (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the injured list early next week and start against Seattle on Tuesday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This falls in line with recent comments by Red Sox manager Alex Cora that Bello's Double-A start this past Wednesday would be his last. Over four starts during his minor-league rehab assignment, Bello pitched to a poor 7.07 ERA and 1.57 WHIP, but he posted an excellent 21:4 K:BB over 14 innings and worked up to 71 pitches in his most recent appearance. Bello could be on a pitch count of some sort in his season debut, as he didn't log any game action during spring training. |
|
| Apr 16 2025 | Bello (shoulder) struck out seven and allowed four earned runs on six hits and one walk across 4.1 innings Wednesday in his rehab start with Double-A Portland on Wednesday. He also hit a batter and was charged with a pitch-clock violation. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello got off to a rocky start in his fourth minor-league rehab appearance in allowing a three-run home run in the bottom of the first inning, but he settled down a bit over the following three-plus innings and concluded his night with three straight strikeouts. He spotted 51 of his 71 pitches for strikes on the evening and flashed a fastball that hovered in the 94 to 96 mile-per-hour range, roughly in line with his average velocity from the 2024 season (95.7 mph). According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said earlier in the week that Wednesday's outing would likely be Bello's last on the farm, so the right-hander appears on track to return from the 15-day injured list early next week. With the Red Sox having confirmed their starters through Monday, Bello tentatively lines up to make his 2025 debut Tuesday at home versus the Mariners. |
|
| Apr 14 2025 | Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Bello's (shoulder) rehab start with Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday will "most likely" be his last, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello threw 64 pitches over four innings in his last rehab start and will build up more in his final rehab outing Wednesday before making his season debut with Boston next week, assuming all goes well. The right-hander has been working his way back from a strained shoulder. |
|
| Apr 13 2025 | Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Saturday that Bello (shoulder) will make at least one more rehab start for Triple-A Worcester, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello made a third rehab start Friday, reaching 64 pitches and four innings. "He was OK. He was good," Cora said of Bello, who allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and struck out five batters Friday. "Now, we'll see how he recovers today. There's definitely one more. Definitely." There are some weather issues forecasted for Worcester's upcoming road trip, which could impact when Bello next takes the mound, but Boston's injury-ravaged rotation could use him as soon as possible with Richard Fitts (pectoral) being the latest starter to hit the IL on Sunday. Bello is tentatively scheduled to pitch Wednesday, which would put him on a path to return to the Red Sox during a series against the Mariners at Fenway Park from April 22-24. |
|
| Apr 12 2025 | Bello (shoulder) allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits while striking out five over four innings for Triple-A Worcester on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: There were several positives to Bello's third rehab start, including 45 strikes among his 64 pitches. The right-hander reached 97.8 mph on his sinker (95.8 mph average), induced 12 swinging strikes and retired the final eight batters faced. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said prior to the outing that he'd like to see Bello get up to five innings before he's activated, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. Friday's results along with the manager's comments suggest at least one more rehab start for Bello. |
|
| Apr 10 2025 | Bello (shoulder) will make a third rehab start Friday for Triple-A Worcester, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello threw 56 pitches over 3.1 innings for Worcester over the weekend and will look to increase his workload Friday. The Red Sox will evaluate the right-hander following the rehab start, but manager Alex Cora suggested that Bello could require another outing in the minors after that before being ready to return from the 15-day injured list. Bello has been pitching on a four-day rest schedule between starts, so a fourth rehab outing would put him on track to come off the IL as soon as April 21. |
|
| Apr 3 2025 | Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Thursday that Bello (shoulder) is "not close" to rejoining the rotation, Alex Speier of the Boston Globe reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello threw 47 pitches in his first rehab start and is slated to make a second rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Worcester. It would appear he will require at least one additional rehab outing after that as he continues to build up his stamina following a right shoulder injury. Richard Fitts and Sean Newcomb will continue holding down rotation spots for Boston until Bello and Lucas Giolito (hamstring) are ready. |
|
| Apr 2 2025 | Bello (shoulder) is scheduled to make a second rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Worcester, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello wasn't sharp in his first rehab start with Worcester on Tuesday, covering 2.1 innings and striking out five while allowing four earned runs on four hits and two walks. Perhaps more importantly, however, Bello emerged from that start without any setbacks with his shoulder, so he'll look to increase his workload after tossing 47 pitches Tuesday. The Red Sox will reassess Bello's next steps after Sunday's outing, but if all goes well, he could return from the 15-day injured list and rejoin the Boston rotation late next week. |
|
| Mar 28 2025 | Bello (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello missed all of spring training after straining his right shoulder in mid-February. He's made good progress in his throwing program and is slated to pitch at least two times during his rehab assignment with Worcester. There's optimism in Boston's clubhouse that Bello could return from the 15-day IL when first eligible April 11, which is when the Red Sox would begin a three-game road series against the White Sox. |
|
| Mar 27 2025 | The Red Sox placed Bello on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right shoulder strain, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello has made nice progress following an early-camp shoulder problem, but he needs more time to get ready. The Red Sox are optimistic he could be ready to rejoin the rotation by mid-April. |
|
| Mar 22 2025 | Bello (shoulder) expects to be activated by the first or second week of April, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
| Mar 15 2025 | Bello (shoulder) is set to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
| Mar 11 2025 | Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that Bello (shoulder) will not be ready for Opening Day but is expected back sometime in April, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cora confirmed that Bello will require a stint on the injured list due to right shoulder soreness, which cropped up at the start of camp. Bello has been throwing off a mound since the beginning of March and is trending in a good direction, but he simply needs more time to build up. Quinn Priester or Richard Fitts is expected to fill Bello's rotation spot to begin the season. |
|
| 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
| 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
| Mar 1 2025 | Bello (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Friday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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, May 27 in Texas. Unlike 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. |
|
| Feb 26 2025 | Bello (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
| Feb 24 2025 | Bello (shoulder) is expected to be ready for the start of the season, Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This is a fluid situation, as Bello has been throwing from 90 feet and will need to avoid any setbacks, but he's at least more likely to be ready than teammate Kutter Crawford (knee), per Abraham's report. Lucas Giolito (elbow) is also expected to be ready for the start of the season. |
|
| 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
| Feb 22 2025 | Bello (shoulder) isn't yet throwing bullpens and isn't likely to be ready to pitch in games for at least a week, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello was recently shut down due to shoulder soreness, and though he's since been able to resume throwing, he hasn't yet tossed a bullpen session. Manager Alex Cora hasn't ruled Bello out from being ready for Opening Day, instead saying, "We'll see how it goes next week" in reference to the hurler's outlook moving forward. The Red Sox are already experiencing rotation issues, as Kutter Crawford's Opening Day status is in doubt due to a knee injury and Lucas Giolito began camp a few days behind other pitchers as he builds up following the internal brace procedure he underwent last March. |
|
| Feb 14 2025 | Manager Alex Cora said Friday that Bello was shut down for a few days due to shoulder soreness but has resumed throwing, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's encouraging that the right-hander is already back to throwing, but any arm issues early in camp are a concerning development. There's no indication that Bello's availability for the start of the regular season has been affected, but it's worth keeping an eye on his progress as spring games get underway. |
|
| Sep 25 2024 | Bello came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Blue Jays, giving up two runs on two hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out four. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: While the right-hander didn't pitch poorly, Bello needed 75 pitches (42 strikes) to record his 12 outs, putting extra pressure on the Boston bullpen in a contest that eventually went to 10 innings. Bello wraps up his campaign with a career-high 14 wins, a 4.49 ERA, a 1.36 WHIP and a 153:64 K:BB through a career-high 162.1 innings, and the 25-year-old figures to be a key part of the team's 2025 rotation plans. |
|
| Sep 19 2024 | Bello (14-8) took the loss against Tampa Bay on Thursday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over 5.2 innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello didn't allow any extra-base hits, and the only run he allowed came on a pair of singles and a sacrifice fly in the third inning. However, Boston's offense managed just one hit and zero runs, pinning the right-hander with a hard-luck loss. Bello nonetheless continued a strong stretch during which he's allowed a modest four runs over his past 16.1 frames across three starts. |
|
| Sep 14 2024 | Bello (14-7) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks in 5.1 innings in a 7-1 victory over the Yankees. He struck out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander tossed only 54 of 98 pitches for strikes but was effectively wild, and all four hits off Bello went for singles. It's the fifth time in his last seven outings that he's given up two runs or less, a stretch in which he's posted a 3.07 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB in 41 innings. Bello lines up to make his next start at home next weekend against the Twins. |
|
| Sep 9 2024 | Bello (13-7) picked up the win Monday against Baltimore, allowing two runs on three hits and five walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Just 62 of Bello's 101 pitches found the strike zone Monday, and he tied his career high in walks. The right-hander was given an extra day of rest between starts, making an appearance against Baltimore on Monday instead of the lowly White Sox. Through 27 starts, Bello has a 4.70 ERA and a 140:58 K:BB across 147.1 innings. He's one of 12 pitchers to have 13 or more wins. Bello is tentatively scheduled to face the Yankees this weekend. |
|
| Sep 7 2024 | Manager Alex Cora said after Saturday's 7-5 win over the White Sox that Bello will start in Monday's series opener against the Orioles, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello was slated to start in Sunday's series finale, but his push to Monday was to give Tanner Houck additional rest after the latter's last outing Wednesday against the Mets. Cora added that a minor-league call-up could be utilized for Sunday's contest, such as Richard Fitts from Triple-A Worcester. In his nine starts since the All-Star break, Bello has gone 2-2 with a 3.78 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 50:20 K:BB over 52.1 innings. |
|
| 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
| Aug 29 2024 | Bello (12-6) earned the win over Toronto on Wednesday, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over eight scoreless innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello yielded only three baserunners and didn't allow any Blue Jay to reach third base. He had his swing-and-miss stuff working, racking up 15 whiffs and recording nine punchouts -- his second-highest mark this season. Bello gave up five runs over 5.1 innings in his previous start against Arizona, but aside from that rough outing, he's been very good of late, picking up three quality starts of one or zero runs across his past four appearances. Going back to July 14, Bello has given up more than three runs in a start just once and has posted a 3.52 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 49:20 K:BB over 53.2 frames. |
|
| Aug 23 2024 | Bello (11-6) took the loss Friday, giving up five runs on seven hits and four walks over 5.1 innings as the Red Sox were downed 12-2 by the Diamondbacks. He struck out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello had a rough night on Friday, getting tagged for five or more runs for the sixth time this season. Bello had put together a strong run of starts since the middle of July with a 3.57 ERA and five quality starts in his last seven outings. The 25-year-old had gone 10 straight starts without a loss before Friday, and he'll take a 4.95 ERA into his next start. |
|
| Aug 17 2024 | Bello (11-5) earned the win over Baltimore on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks while striking out six batters over six innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello tossed five scoreless frames before serving up a game-tying solo homer to Gunnar Henderson in the sixth inning. That was the hurler's final frame, but Boston scored in the top of the seventh to move him in line for the victory. Bello has shown considerable improvement since the All-Star break, notching five quality starts across seven outings and posting a 3.57 ERA across 40.1 innings. The improvement in ERA is particularly promising after the right-hander recorded a 5.40 ERA over 83.1 frames during the first half of the season. |
|
| Aug 12 2024 | Bello did not factor into the decision in Monday's 5-4 win over Texas, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out five. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old notched his eighth quality start of the season -- and third since the All-Star break -- with this 95-pitch appearance. Bello held the Rangers to no extra-base hits, as the only run he yielded came on a Marcus Semien knock in the fifth inning. Post-break, the Boston right-hander has pitched to a 3.86 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 29:11 K:BB over 29 innings across five starts. He lines up to face the first-place Orioles in Baltimore for his next outing this weekend. |
|
| 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello will spend his weekend away from the team for personal reasons, but the expectation is he'll be back for Monday's start. In his last six outings, Bello has a 2-0 record, though he's logged a 5.08 ERA with 38 strikeouts over 33.2 innings. Cam Booser will temporarily join the 26-man roster and supply the bullpen with an additional arm. |
|
| Aug 6 2024 | Bello allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Royals. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello allowed two of the three runs in the fifth inning, leaving with the game tied at 3-3. It's a fourth straight no-decision for the right-hander, but this was the first time since June 25 that he failed to complete five frames. For the year, Bello has a 5.16 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 109:41 K:BB over 111.2 innings across 21 starts. His next outing is projected to be a home start versus the Rangers. |
|
| Jul 31 2024 | Bello allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over 6.1 innings in a no-decision against Seattle on Wednesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello allowed a run in each of the fourth and fifth frames but nothing more. The right-hander notched his fifth quality start over his past eight outings after recording just two quality starts across his initial 12 appearances of the season. Bello's strikeout numbers have been up of late as well -- he's posted at least seven punchouts in four of his past six starts after reaching that mark just three times through his initial 14 appearances. |
|
| Jul 26 2024 | Bello didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Yankees, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out four. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello allowed just one run through his first four innings before the Yankees scored twice in the fifth, forcing the right-hander out of the game after throwing 80 pitches. Coming into Friday, the 25-year-old Bello had delivered quality starts in three of his previous four outings, going 3-0 with a 4.44 ERA in that span.

| 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Bello's day started by allowing a leadoff homer by Adam Frazier, but he was quickly staked to a 4-1 lead and only scattered 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, then alternately allowing 16 earned runs in the other three 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. |

| Jul 10 2024 | Bello (9-5) picked up the win in Tuesday's 12-9 victory over the A's, giving up five runs on nine hits and two walks over 5.1 innings.

| 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |

According to Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald, Cora clarified that Bello isn't dealing with any sort of physical issue, and the right-hander's extra time off between starts is designed to help him better identify the source of the control problems that have become a recurring concern. Bello has issued multiple walks in seven straight starts and in all but one of his last 12 outings. |

For the first time all year, Bello was called upon to go back out for the seventh, but after recording one out, he allowed the next two runners to reach base prior to being pulled, with both runners eventually coming around to score, adversely impacting his final line. It was only the second time this year that Bello has not been involved in the decision.

The right-hander is now at a 4.04 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 37:13 K:BB through 42.1 innings.
