Bello could be used behind rookie starter Payton Tolle in the series finale against the New York Mets, with Boston trying to avoid stretching an already taxed bullpen. The Red Sox also have a doubleheader against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday, their first day back from the break.
Interim manager Chad Tracy said Bello’s role will depend on how Sunday’s game unfolds, whether Boston needs multiple innings early or extra help later.

“The big thing is you guys know over the last handful of days how short we are bullpen-wise,” Tracy said. “So just want to make sure that we have enough (pitchers) down there and have enough coverage to get through the game.”
Bello was optioned June 5 after going 2-6 with a 6.34 ERA in 61 innings over 12 appearances that included eight starts. The 27-year-old registered a 4.34 ERA and 22 strikeouts over 18 2/3 innings in four starts with Worcester. For his career, Bello has a 41-42 record with a 4.32 ERA across 112 appearances (105 starts) in five seasons with the Red Sox.
