Brayan Bello News
Boston Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello (lat) has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right-lat tightness. The club has recalled right-hander Zack Kelly to take his spot on the active roster. It's another tough injury blow to the club's starting rotation as both Garrett Whitlock and Nick Pivetta are sidelined. Additionally, slugger Triston Casas recently suffered a rib fracture, Rafael Devers hasn't played in a week since suffering a knee injury, Trevor Story is out for the season due to shoulder surgery, and Vaughn Grissom has yet to make his Red Sox debut due to a hamstring issue. Bello, the team's Opening Day starter, has worked to a quality 3.04 ERA across five starts, posting a solid 17.3% K-BB% in that time while generating ground balls at another healthy 51.3% rate.
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Brayan Bello picked up his first victory of the season versus the Seattle Mariners on Opening Day this Thursday. The 24-year-old got the nod with the Red Sox dealing with injuries in their rotation and he delivered five strong innings. In those five frames, he allowed five hits, two runs, zero walks and struck out two on the evening. Both runs would come off a Mitch Haniger two-run home run. Managers would like to see more strikeouts for the youngster, but zero walks is just as important to see in the stat line. The Red Sox signed Bello to a six year, $55 million extension this offseason and they as with fantasy managers should have big hopes for the right-hander in 2024. Bello will look to improve to 2-0 in a must-start matchup against the Oakland Athletics in his next outing.
Boston Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello will make the team's Opening Day start on March 28 on the road in Seattle against the Mariners. Right-hander Nick Pivetta will get the ball for Game 2. Bello gets the nod to kick things off after Boston gave the 24-year-old a six-year, $55 million contract extension during spring training. He's a young pitcher on the rise after going 12-11 with a 4.24 ERA (4.54 FIP) and 1.34 WHIP with 45 walks and 132 strikeouts in 157 innings over 28 starts in his first full season in the big leagues in 2023. If Bello can add a third effective pitch to his arsenal to keep hitters off balance, he has the potential for a breakout campaign in 2024 for fantasy managers. The matchup on the road in Seattle isn't a bad one for DFS gamers, either. RotoBaller has Bello ranked as the No. 59 fantasy starter going into his third MLB season.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello has had himself a fine offseason. The 24-year-old signed a shiny six-year, $55 million contract and was also named the club's Opening Day starter. As a result, he's been in the headlines plenty this winter but the brakes need to be pumped when it comes to his fantasy value. Bello worked to a solid 4.24 ERA across 28 starts in 2023, posting a 13% K-BB% in the process. That strikeout-to-walk figure was only buoyed by a quality 6.7% BB% as Bello struck out just 19.8% of the hitters he faced a season ago. With a 20% K% through his first 41 outings (39 starts) and 214 1/3 big-league frames, he has yet to put away hitters like he did at big-time rates in the minors. As a result, his value lies in dynasty leagues while he continues to develop. Redraft managers should be cautious with what appears to be an overvalued 226.10 ADP.
