Brayan Bello Completes 30-Pitch Bullpen Session
1 day agoBoston Red Sox starting pitcher Brayan Bello (shoulder) completed a successful bullpen session on Friday. Bello threw approximately 30 pitches at "70 to 75 percent intensity." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Bello's status as he battled shoulder inflammation throughout camp. Seeing that he has already begun throwing bullpen sessions should put him in a good position to be ready in time for Opening Day. Last season, Bello logged a career-high 162 1/3 innings to the tune of a 4.49 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. He tallied 153 strikeouts and generated ground balls at a strong 51.3 percent rate. However, he showed weak command of his pitches as he allowed free passes at a high 9.1 percent rate. When healthy, fantasy managers should expect Bello to slot in the middle of the starting rotation.
