Bello was 6-2, ERA was 2.81 in 9 Triple-A Worcester games, and the last was Friday. In the Boston system since 2018, he was the 2021 Red Sox minor league starting pitcher of the year.

Kluber will make his 12th career start with the Red Sox, a team he hadn't faced since 2018 until the beginning of the season. He allowed 11 hits and 4 runs at the 5 innings start on April 22 and won 4-3 in Boston.
