Bello Moves to Bullpen After Rough Stint as Starter
Brayan Bello went from MLB's worst starter to standout reliever in the same 2026 season, an unprecedented in-season role change.
Brayan Bello began the 2026 season as a starter for Boston and struggled to the point of being considered the worst starter in MLB. He was subsequently moved to the bullpen, where he has excelled and is now regarded as one of the best relievers in the league. The in-season transition from rotation to relief is notable and represents a significant role change. This shift could affect Boston's roster construction and how Bello is deployed going forward.
