Rehab shifts to Triple-A Bello (groin) will make a rehab start at Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Bello made a rehab start at Double-A Portland on Sunday and gave up a run on two hits and no walks while striking out six in 3.2 innings. He's been on the injured list since Aug. 3, so he should have a chance to rejoin the Red Sox following Friday's outing.

Rehab start scheduled Bello (groin) will make a minor-league rehab start for Double-A Portland on Sunday.

Impact Bello exited his outing Aug. 3 against Houston with a left groin strain and was placed on the 15-day injured list.

Goes on IL with groin strain The Red Sox placed Bello (groin) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Bello suffered the injury during his relief appearance in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Astros, when the Red Sox intended to deploy him as a piggyback pitcher behind starter Rich Hill. He'll now be sidelined for at least the next two and a half weeks, and once he's activated, Bello may not have a spot on the active roster, much less one in the rotation. Hill's return from the IL on Wednesday gave Boston five healthy starting options, and Michael Wacha (shoulder) could be activated by the middle of August and will push Bello another rung down the depth chart at that time.

Dealing with left groin strain Bello was removed from Wednesday's game against the Astros due to a left groin strain, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Red Sox hoped that Bello would be able to eat up some innings behind starter Rich Hill during Wednesday's matchup to give the rest of the bullpen some rest, but Bello exited after throwing just two-thirds of an inning. It's not yet clear whether the right-hander will require a trip to the injured list following his diagnosis.

Impact Bello was originally scheduled to start Wednesday, but the Red Sox later scrapped those plans and had Rich Hill open the contest after he ultimately stayed with Boston following Tuesday's trade deadline. Hill was still on a restricted pitch count in his first start back from the injured list and tossed only three innings before exiting, as the Red Sox were counting on Bello to piggyback him. Instead, Bello's day ended after just 19 pitches, which will force the Red Sox to use their other relievers more than anticipated. The team should provide an updated diagnosis for Bello's injury later in the day.

Won't start Wednesday Bello has been scratched from his scheduled start for Wednesday's game against the Astros, with Rich Hill (knee) now in line to get the starting nod for Boston, Chris Cotillo of Th...

Impact Boston reinstated Hill from the 15-day injured list Monday, but the Red Sox didn't immediately make him available to start or pitch out of the bullpen while the team waited for Tuesday's trade deadline. With the veteran southpaw ultimately staying put at the deadline, he'll now slot back into the rotation while Bello heads to the bullpen. The Red Sox still intend to develop Bello as a starter, so it wouldn't be surprising if he's optioned to Triple-A Worcester at some point in the near future so he can resume making regular turns through the WooSox rotation.

Set to start Wednesday Bello is expected to start Wednesday against the Astros, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Bello worked behind an opener in his last outing, but it appears he will open the game on the mound in his next appearance.

Takes loss as primary pitcher Bello (0-3) was charged with the loss Friday versus the Brewers after giving up two runs on four hits with four strikeouts and three walks across 4.1 innings.

Impact The 23-year-old replaced Austin Davis during the third inning with the game still scoreless, but Milwaukee scored single tallies in the sixth and seventh to put Bello on the hook for the loss. Bello made his big-league debut in early July and has an 8.82 ERA, 2.27 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB in 16.1 innings over his first four outings.

Available out of bullpen Friday Bello will be available out of the bullpen behind opener Austin Davis during Friday's game against the Brewers, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Bello was initially listed as the starter for Friday's matchup, but the Red Sox will instead choose to utilize Davis in an opening role. Bello hasn't been very sharp to begin his major-league career, posting a 10.50 ERA and 2.50 WHIP in 12 innings over three starts.

Picking up another start Bello is slated to start Friday's series opener with the Brewers in Boston, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Bello will be getting his second straight turn through the rotation and his fourth start of the season overall with the big club not on the basis of merit, but because Boston has four other starting pitchers on the injured list. Though the 23-year-old right-hander is one of the Red Sox's most highly regarded prospects, he hasn't found much success in his initial three outings in the big leagues. He's covered exactly four innings each time out, allowing no fewer than four earned runs in any of those contests while walking nearly as many batters (eight) as he's struck out (nine).

Allows five runs in loss Bello (0-2) took the loss against Toronto on Sunday, allowing five runs on nine hits while striking out two and walking two over four innings.

Impact Bello was yanked after giving up five earned runs across four frames Sunday. The young righty threw 41 of 67 pitches for strikes but allowed 11 baserunners and struck out just two batters. George Springer and Cavan Biggio were also able to swipe second base while he was on the mound. Bello has had a rough rookie campaign so far. In 12 innings, he has allowed 14 earned runs, although none have come via the long ball. Bello has a bloated 10.50 ERA, but could still continue to pick up starts for the Red Sox with so many of their starters on the shelf.

Officially starting Sunday Bello is starting Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact Manager Alex Cora indicated Friday that there was a "good chance" that Bello started Sunday's series finale against Toronto, and the right-hander will officially make his third major-league start. The right-hander has posted a 10.13 ERA and 2.38 WHIP in eight innings over two starts for the Red Sox this year.

Impact Bello was recalled Friday, and Cora avoided using his length in an embarrassing 28-5 loss to Toronto. The right-hander has pitched well in the minors this season, posting a 2.35 ERA over 16 outings (15 starts) at Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester, but struggled in two MLB starts (10.13 ERA, six walks, eight IP).

Back in majors Bello was recalled by the Red Sox on Friday.

Impact Bello was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on July 12, one day after he surrendered five earned runs across four innings against the Rays. He'll likely be needed in the rotation to take the place of Chris Sale (finger), who was placed on the injured list Friday. Bello has maintained a 2.82 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 54.1 innings with Worcester this season.

Returns to Triple-A The Red Sox optioned Bello to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Bello made two starts during his first big-league stint and allowed nine runs in eight innings while striking out seven and walking six. The prospect clearly wasn't ready for a promotion. Rather, he filled in for Boston's injury-riddled rotation. Barring more big-league injuries, Bello figures to pitch the remainder of 2022 at Triple-A.
