Bello Set as Red Sox Starter vs Tigers, Opener Possible

Published May 3, 2026 · Updated May 3, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

The Red Sox have named Brayan Bello the probable starter for Tuesday’s game in Detroit, but interim manager Chad Tracy says an opener could be used before Bello pitches the bulk of the innings.

The Red Sox have confirmed Brayan Bello as the Tuesday starter in the series against the Tigers, ending speculation about his rotation spot. Manager Chad Tracy indicated the team might use an opener ahead of Bello to manage bullpen usage and help Bello regain his rhythm after a 9.12 ERA.

Bello, who has been limited to two fifth‑inning appearances this season, is open to the plan and aims to turn in a solid outing. The strategy could also manipulate the Tigers’ lineup by starting with left‑handers, potentially easing Bello’s workload. syntagm.co.za
