Red Sox To Option Brayan Bello To Triple-A
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Boston Red Sox have optioned right-handed pitcher Brayan Bello to Triple-A Worcester after a poor outing against the Orioles, where he allowed eight runs over five innings.
- Bello's season ERA has risen to 6.34 over 61 innings, with a career-low strikeout rate of 15.6% and a high home run rate of 1.48 per nine innings.
- A major concern is Bello's ineffectiveness against left-handed batters, who have posted a .323/.384/.554 line against him, contributing to his struggles.
- The Red Sox will add left-handed reliever Joe La Sorsa to the active roster for the upcoming series opener in New York.
- Boston has attempted to mitigate Bello's lefty struggles by using left-handed openers, which has improved his performance but not consistently led to team wins.
