Impact 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.

Recalled from Triple-A The Phillies recalled Bellatti from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.
Impact 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.

Sent back to Triple-A Philadelphia optioned Bellatti to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.
Impact 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.

Moves up from Triple-A The Phillies recalled Bellatti from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.
Impact 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.

Optioned to Triple-A The Phillies optioned Bellatti to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact 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.

Back from injured list The Phillies reinstated Bellatti (triceps) off the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Impact 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 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cleared for rehab assignment Bellatti (triceps) will begin a rehab assignment Friday with Low-A Clearwater.
Impact 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 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Faces hitters Bellatti (triceps) threw live batting practice Tuesday, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Impact 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.

Lands on injured list Bellatti was placed on the 15-day injured list with right triceps tendinitis Saturday.
Impact The move was made retroactive to Friday, so Bellatti will be eligible to return May 6, but it's unclear if he'll have a chance to make it back after a minimum-length stay. The righty gave up just two hits and zero runs in his first six appearances but allowed six runs on nine hits in his last four outings. It's possible those struggles were injury-related. Cristopher Sanchez (triceps) was activated off the injured list to take his place on the roster.

Picks up second save Bellatti walked one batter and struck out two in a scoreless inning while earning a save over the Reds on Monday.
Impact 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.

Bellatti to Make First Career Start in Bullpen Game Against Blue Jays Right-handed reliever Andrew Bellatti will be the first pitcher up for the Philadelphia Phillies as they take on the Toronto Blue Jays.
JULY 12, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
To serve as opener Bellatti has been named the starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact 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.
JULY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Collects first big-league save Bellatti pitched a perfect ninth inning with one strikeout to earn the save in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Padres.
Impact 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.

Can't finish save chance 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...
Impact 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.
JUNE 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Contract selected by Phillies Bellatti's contract was selected by the Phillies on Thursday.
Impact 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.
