FORT MYERS, Fla. – After taking a pause this week due to shoulder soreness, Brayan Bello said he’s “feeling good” and slated to begin throwing again on Sunday.
“I felt some soreness working out in the (Dominican Republic) a week before I came down here,” Bello said (via translator Daveson Perez). “Came down, threw a bullpen, felt the shoulder a little bit, and rather than let it progress to something bad, decided to speak up. And we just held off for a week, and now I’m feeling pretty good.”
The shutdown was precautionary more than anything, the right-hander said. The trainers took scans as soon as he let them know, and didn’t find anything concerning.
Spring training games start next Saturday. Bello expects to have a normal preseason moving forward and be ready for Opening Day.
“That’s why I spoke up early, I just wanted to rule (injury) out out the jump,” he said. “I want to be ready for the start of the season.”
