Red Sox Option Bello to Worcester as La Sorsa Joins Active Roster for Bronx Opener

The Red Sox option Brayan Bello to Triple-A Worcester and add lefty reliever Joe La Sorsa to the active roster for the Bronx series opener, after Bello’s rough start left him at a 6.34 ERA over 61 innings with a career-worst 1.48 HR/9. Bello has struggled especially vs. left-handed hitters (.323/.384/.554 in 147 PAs), and Boston has used lefty openers in front of him with limited success.

Mets Promote Nick Morabito to MLB Debut Amid Outfield Shuffle

The Mets will promote Nick Morabito for his MLB debut, filling the roster spot created by Austin Slater’s DFA. Morabito, a 23-year-old outfield prospect (No. 75 in the 2022 draft), has slashed .253/.364/.390 with 4 home runs and strong baserunning in Triple-A Syracuse and is viewed as a speedy, versatile defender who can handle all three outfield spots. With Juan Soto leaning into DH time due to injuries and rookies Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing contributing, Morabito could carve out a depth role while remaining on the 40-man roster with three minor league option years remaining, keeping him under club control through 2032 depending on service time.
