Red Sox Put Garrett Whitlock On IL, Recall Brayan Bello
2 years agoThe Boston Red Sox placed right-hander Garrett Whitlock (elbow) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to April 25) due to right-elbow ulnar neuritis and recalled right-hander Brayan Bello from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Whitlock didn't look good in his last start last Saturday, when he allowed five runs in four innings against the Brewers. The 26-year-old has a 6.19 ERA (5.98 FIP), 1.37 WHIP, three walks and 11 strikeouts in 16 innings over his first three starts this year, so he's not a must-stash in shallow mixed leagues at this point. In the meantime, Bello will take Whitlock's rotation spot in Boston. He'll make his next start on Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians. Bello has some long-term upside, but for now he'll be a shaky streamer.
