Bello took over this afternoon when play resumed in the fourth and got off to a rough start. With one out, he walked Gavin Lux after getting ahead of him 0-2, and he then gave up a two-run homer to Spencer Steer. As it turned out, it’d be the lone hit the Reds would manage over the rest of the contest. Bello was at just 62 pitches through his five innings and surely would have remained in had the Red Sox not taken a lead in the bottom of the eighth. At that point, the Red Sox turned to Aroldis Chapman to lock the game down. The win moved Bello to 4-3 with a 3.42 ERA ahead of a home start against the Rockies next week. Incidentally, it’s also the first time Richard Fitts’ 11 career starts that the Red Sox have prevailed. He pitched three innings of one-run ball before the game was suspended.

Weissert was brought in to get the final out of the sixth and then stayed for the seventh, which opened with a single, an error, a walk and then a Christian Encarnacion-Strand grand slam. That still wasn’t enough to get Weissert lifted, though, and he wound up allowing one more run on a double and a single before being removed with two outs. Weissert came into this one with a 2.84 ERA and had seemingly emerged as a No. 2 option in the Red Sox pen with Justin Slaten down, something that seems worth paying attention to since Aroldis Chapman could be traded this month. However, this is a setback, and he also has some new competition in the form of Jordan Hicks, though Hicks also gave up three runs — one earned — while getting two outs tonight.

Wilson hasn’t pitched since last Tuesday due to the issue, but he told reporters that he expects to be available for Friday’s series opener against the Nationals. The 37-year-old lefty has posted a solid 2.39 ERA across 26 1/3 innings (33 appearances) this season in his Red Sox debut.

The procedure involved reconstruction of the stabilizing sheath of the extensor carpi ulnaris in his right wrist. There isn’t an official return timeline from the Red Sox at the moment, but Crawford has plenty of time to be ready for next spring. He wound up missing the entire 2025 campaign due to knee and wrist issues.
