The Boston Red Sox have suffered another blow to their pitching staff as right-hander Brayan Bello has been placed on the injured list with a back injury. The news was first reported by MLB.com and later confirmed by The Associated Press.
Bello, a key member of the Red Sox starting rotation, has been a reliable arm for the team this season. The 22-year-old has posted a 3.73 ERA with 96 strikeouts in 108 innings pitched.
