Brayan Bello Fantasy Stats

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Brayan Bello has been throwing a curveball as spring training gets underway, according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. Bello threw five curveballs back in 2022, but he hasn't used the pitch since then. Now, it's back in his arsenal, adding a sixth pitch to his deep mix. Teammate Sonny Gray said Bello's arsenal is "gross," and manager Alex Cora credited the young pitcher for consistently developing ever since his debut season in 2022. The 26-year-old posted a career-best 3.35 ERA last year, but his FIP was a bit higher at 4.19. He continued to induce weak contact with a 49.8% ground ball rate and 0.86 HR/9. Bello projects as Boston's No. 4 starter behind Garrett Crochet, Ranger Suarez, and Gray.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Brayan Bello continues to emerge in trade talks, according to Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. Boston currently has a surplus of starting pitchers, with the signings of Ranger Suarez and Sonny Gray and the emergence of young arms like Payton Tolle and Connelly Early. Through the offseason, reports have suggested the Red Sox have also begun to "quietly" shop for the right-hander, indicating they have been looking for a suitor. The Red Sox were linked to several of the top free-agent third basemen but were unable to agree to terms with any. However, reports suggest they have also shown interest in Houston's Isaac Paredes, and Bello would likely be included in this package if both sides reached an agreement. Bello logged a career-high 166 2/3 innings with the Red Sox last season and held a 3.35 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP. If he were to remain in Boston, he would likely serve as the team's No. 4 starter.

According to Chris Henrique of The Boston Sports Journal, the Red Sox have received interest in right-handed starting pitcher Brayan Bello. Henrique notes that, given Boston's starting pitching depth, teams have begun to call to acquire Bello. Additionally, the team has started "quietly" gauging his value on the trade market. Bello logged a career-high 166 2/3 innings last season and posted a 3.35 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP. He struck out 124 hitters and showed solid command, allowing walks at an 8.4% rate. However, he posted a rather high 4.48 xERA, suggesting he may regress in 2026. With Ranger Suarez joining the rotation and several budding arms in contention for a lead role like Connelly Early and Payton Tolle, the Red Sox may look to move Bello to improve their starting lineup instead.

The Boston Red Sox "quietly shopped" starting pitcher Brayan Bello earlier in the offseason, per Ken Rosenthal and Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic. While Bello remains a member of the Red Sox for the time being, Boston's recent big-money agreement with lefty starter Ranger Suarez could lead to renewed willingness to trade from their starting pitching depth. Across 166 2/3 innings (29 starts) for the Red Sox in 2025, Bello posted an 11-9 record with a 3.35 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 124 strikeouts. Bello, who turns 27 years old in May, is locked up on a team-friendly extension through at least the 2029 season. He would almost certainly generate interest on the trade market, and the presence of young arms such as Connelly Early and Payton Tolle in Boston could lead the team to move Bello in pursuit of a bat.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello will start Game 2 of the team's wild-card series against the New York Yankees on Wednesday, manager Alex Cora announced. Bello, who will follow Game 1 starter Garrett Crochet and battle left-hander Carlos Rodon, held his own over three regular-season outings against the Yankees. He went 2-1 in those matchups and threw 19 innings of four-run, 11-hit ball with 17 strikeouts and seven walks. Bello finished the season 11-9 with a 3.35 ERA, a 1.24 WHIP, 124 strikeouts, and 59 walks in 166 1/2 innings, though he hasn't been at his best in recent weeks. In five starts this month, the 26-year-old went 1-3 and struggled to a 5.40 ERA with 16:12 K:BB across 25 frames.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Brayan Bello allowed two earned runs and five hits over nine innings in Tuesday's 10-2 home win against the Colorado Rockies. He issued one free pass, hit a batter, and struck out ten to record his second career complete game. Bello was dealing early, facing the minimum number of batters five times through his first seven frames, and allowing nary a run through eight. However, a Tyler Freeman single and a Hunter Goodman homer to start the ninth would end his shutout bid. He'd yield another single two batters later, but escape with no further damage to improve to 5-3 through 14 starts. Bello hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in an outing in nearly two months, and will carry a solid 3.27 ERA and 1.30 WHIP into a meeting with the visiting Tampa Bay Rays later this weekend.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Bryana Bello will take the mound in the team's suspended game against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday that will pick up in the fourth inning, according to the Boston Herald's Mac Cerullo. Bello was originally scheduled to start the regularly scheduled game against Cincy on Wednesday, but he'll instead start the suspended game, which will technically be his first appearance as a reliever since 2022. The Red Sox will be leading 2-1, so there's a greater chance that the 26-year-old could pick up his fourth win of the season. On the flip side, the shortened game also means he'll have less length if he pitches well. Bello got a late start to the 2025 season due to injuries and has a decent 3.41 ERA but also a 1.44 WHIP and only 52 strikeouts in 71 1/3 innings over his 13 starts. He hasn't allowed more than three runs in an outing since May 18.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Brayan Bello pitched seven shutout innings while striking out eight in a 2-0 win over the Yankees. He allowed three hits and three walks while improving his record to 3-1. This was the right-hander's third straight quality start, and he has only allowed more than three runs in a start once all season. The main problem has been efficiency, as Bello had a five-start stretch from May 8 to May 28 where he failed to complete five full frames. He'll carry a 3.49 ERA into his next start against the Giants.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello (2-1) did not have his best stuff on Sunday afternoon. After a decent start to his 2025 campaign, which was delayed by a shoulder injury, he had only allowed six earned runs over 27 innings pitched. On Sunday, he allowed seven earned runs against the Atlanta Braves in four innings. What is more concerning is that Bello allowed 10 hits and walked five batters, allowing 15 total baserunners on the afternoon. Bello walked away with the loss in this contest and saw his ERA rise to 4.02. Bello will try to get back on track against the struggling Baltimore Orioles on Friday.

Boston Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello (shoulder) will make his season debut on Tuesday and start against the Seattle Mariners, according to manager Alex Cora. Bello dealt with a right-shoulder injury in spring training and was forced to start the 2025 regular season on the 15-day injured list, but he's now ready to rejoin Boston's starting rotation after making four minor-league rehab starts. Although the 25-year-old had a 7.07 ERA during his rehab assignment, he did strike out 21 hitters while walking only four in his 14 innings of work with Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. The Dominican hurler only got up to a maximum of 71 pitches in the minor leagues, so he probably won't be fully stretched out to go deep into his first big-league outing on Tuesday against Seattle. Fantasy managers in DFS and deeper single-year leagues would be wise to avoid Bello in his first start off the IL.
