Brayan Bello appears ready to return from injured list to further bolster Red Sox rotation

“I mean, hats off to the training staff and [head athletic trainer] Brandon Henry,” Pivetta said. The rotation has been the bright spot for the Red Sox despite the injuries. Entering Saturday, Sox starters led the league with a 2.39 ERA while also ranking third in WHIP (1.06) and opponent batting average (.217). “I had no doubt from the pitching side that guys in spring training, that the guys that were here and the guys started in Triple A were going to do a good job,” manager Alex Cora said before the middle game vs. the Nationals.
