Boston's pitching staff took another big hit Wednesday as the Red Sox placed starter Brayan Bello on the injury list with upper back tightness. Bello's injury means the Red Sox are missing three of five starters, and that doesn't include Lucas Giolito, the team's biggest offseason acquisition, who is out for the season with a torn elbow ligament. Bello felt tightness in his back following his most recent start, and the Red Sox decided to be cautious and put him on the IL.
