Availability
Bello carries a 6.14 ERA and 9:9 K:BB across 14.2 innings through three starts into Saturday's home matchup against Detroit. He worked 6.2 innings Sunday against St. Louis, with the Cardinals generating plenty of contact but hitting it directly at the Boston defense.
Fantasy Impact
Bello allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two, earning his first win of the season.
Bello allowed five earned runs in his season debut against Houston and ran into more trouble Monday against Milwaukee, issuing four walks and throwing 86 pitches — 50 for strikes — across 3.1 innings. He sits at a 7:7 K:BB ratio through his first eight innings of the season, though he did generate 17 swinging strikes Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Bello allowed four runs — three earned — on five hits while striking out five and did not factor into the decision. He is scheduled to start this weekend against St. Louis.
Bello posted a career-best 3.35 ERA across 29 starts in 2025, though his 4.19 FIP suggested some regression risk. He carried a 5.65 ERA out of spring training into Tuesday's regular-season opener against Houston, where Yordan Alvarez took him deep in the fifth and four of the next five Astros reached base to end his outing.
Fantasy Impact
Bello took the loss, allowing six runs — five earned — on eight hits and three walks while striking out two across 4.2 innings. Payton Tolle, Johan Oviedo, Kutter Crawford (wrist), and Patrick Sandoval (elbow) are among the other starting candidates in Boston once healthy. Bello's next start is scheduled for Monday against Milwaukee.
Brayan Bello has reportedly added a curveball to his arsenal heading into this season.
Fantasy Impact
Bello is coming off a career year where he posted a 3.35 ERA across a career-high 166 2/3 innings. He'll look to continue to build off that heading into this year.
Brayan Bello will start Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Series against the Yankees.
Fantasy Impact
This had been the expectation. After Boston's win on Tuesday, Bello will hope to send the Red Sox to Toronto in the ALDS. It is expected to be rookie Connelly Early if the series reaches a Game 3.
