Valente Bellozo - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Poor showing in third start Bellozo (0-2) took the loss Friday against the Athletics after allowing five runs on four hits and four walks in 4.2 innings. He struck out one.

Impact It was an uninspiring showing all around by Bellozo, who gave up a season-high five runs and four walks Friday. The 25-year-old right-hander also fanned a season-low one, getting just three whiffs on his 87 pitches. Bellozo owns a 4.97 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and a poor 7:8 K:BB across 12.2 innings (three starts) in 2025, and he won't be a recommended fantasy streamer if he stays in Miami's rotation for his next scheduled turn versus a star-studded Dodgers lineup.

Recalled ahead of Friday's start The Marlins recalled Bellozo from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Impact Bellozo is set to start Friday's game versus the Athletics and could earn additional starts until Ryan Weathers (forearm) is ready to return. The right-hander threw 2.1 innings with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, so he'll likely have his workload truncated as he pitches on short rest.

Set for Friday start Bellozo will be promoted Friday to start against the Athletics, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Impact Bellozo is set to join the team in Miami and make his first appearance in the majors since April 7. He has gotten decent results in his two outings with the Marlins this season, combining to allow two earned runs across eight frames -- though that's come with just a 6:4 K:BB. Bellozo also threw 2.1 innings with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, so it's unclear how deep he'll be able to pitch into Friday's contest.

Sent back to Triple-A The Marlins optioned Bellozo to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Impact Bellozo had a brief stay on the Marlins' active roster, as he'll head back to the minors just a few days after he was called up to make a spot start Monday. The right-hander took a loss against the Mets after giving up one earned run on five hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He'll cede his spot to Sandy Alcantara (personal), who was reinstated from the paternity list and is on track to make his next start Saturday versus the Nationals.

Can't escape fourth in loss Bellozo (0-1) took the loss Monday versus the Mets, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

Impact Bellozo was recalled from Triple-A on Monday to replace Sandy Alcantara (paternity list) and lasted 76 pitches in a frigid night at Citi Field with a game-time temperature of 42 degrees. Despite yielding seven baserunners over the short outing, Bellozo managed to hold the Mets' lineup to one run -- scored on a Juan Soto double in the third inning. The Miami right-hander is likely to be sent back to the minors when Alcantara returns to the team.

Recalled ahead of Monday's start The Marlins recalled Bellozo from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

Impact Bellozo will make a spot start Monday against the Mets in place of Sandy Alcantara (paternity). The right-handed Bellozo held the Pirates to one run over 4.1 innings in a start on March 29 but will face a better lineup this time around. He's likely to be sent back down after the game.

APRIL 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set for major-league start Bellozo is expected to be promoted from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Monday versus the Mets, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Impact Bellozo will return to the big-league roster after being sent down to Jacksonville last week. The right-hander made the team's Opening Day rotation, tossing 4.1 innings of one-run ball against the Pirates on March 29. Bellozo will now replace Sandy Alcantara (personal) on the mound Monday against New York, as Alcantara is set to be placed on the paternity list.

Optioned to Triple-A The Marlins optioned Bellozo to Triple-A Jacksonville following Saturday's 5-4 extra innings win over the Pirates, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Impact Bellozo was recalled by the Marlins on Thursday to start in Friday's contest. He came away with the no-decision after allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four across 4.1 innings. Miami went through six relievers during Friday's game, so Bellozo's move back to Triple-A will allow the Marlins to replenish their bullpen ahead of Monday's series opener against the Mets.

Recalled from Triple-A The Marlins recalled Bellozo from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Impact Bellozo will fill a rotation slot while Ryan Weathers (forearm) and Edward Cabrera (blister) are out. He is slated to make his season debut Saturday against the Pirates.

Makes Miami rotation Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Tuesday that Bellozo will be part of the team's Opening Day rotation, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bellozo was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville earlier this month, but the Marlins are in need of reinforcements with Ryan Weathers (forearm) and Edward Cabrera (blister) going down. The 25-year-old managed a 3.67 ERA for Miami last season, but that came with a 5.72 FIP. Bellozo's leash will be short.

MARCH 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Favorite for rotation spot? Bellozo has emerged as a leading candidate to open the season in the Marlins' rotation, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Impact A spot in Miami's rotation opened up once Ryan Weathers suffered a forearm strain Monday, and the reassignment of Janson Junk to minor-league camp Saturday puts Bellozo in a great position to make the Opening Day roster. The 25-year-old righty started 13 games for the Marlins last season, finishing the season with a 3.67 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. However, his 5.72 FIP indicates that his performance wasn't nearly as good as his base stats might suggest.

Optioned to Triple-A The Marlins optioned Bellozo to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Impact Bellozo camp into camp with a shot to win a rotation spot, but he didn't make a great case for himself in yielding 10 runs in 8.1 innings of work. The 25-year-old remains likely to make some start for the Marlins this season but will begin the year in the Jacksonville rotation.

MARCH 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Begins hunt for rotation spot Bellozo struck out two in a perfect inning during Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.

Impact The right-hander got the start in the Marlins' spring opener and tossed 10 of 16 pitches for strikes. Bellozo was a surprising contributor in 2024, posting a 3.67 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB over 13 starts in his big-league debut, but the 25-year-old isn't guaranteed a rotation spot this time around with Sandy Alcantara healthy and Cal Quantrill now in the fold. Bellozo is expected to compete in camp with top prospect Max Meyer and Adam Mazur for the fifth starter spot on the Opening Day roster.

Solid in no-decision Bellozo did not factor into the decision in an extra-innings win over the Twins on Thursday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk over five innings while striking out two.

Impact Bellozo allowed at least one man to reach in three of the first five innings but managed to work his way out of the jam on each occasion as the Marlins jumped out to a 4-0 lead. However, the Twins finally got to the right-hander in the sixth when Carlos Correa launched a solo homer to lead off the frame. Bellozo was then relieved by Lake Bachar after giving up a single in the next at-bat, marking the fourth-consecutive start in which the former has failed to make it through six innings. However, the 24-year-old also hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of his five starts this month, giving up a strong 2.67 ERA in September to go along with a 12:6 K:BB.

Picks up win Bellozo (3-4) yielded three runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.1 innings Friday, striking out three and earning a win over Atlanta.

Impact Bellozo gave up one run through three frames before Orlando Arcia knocked a solo homer in the fourth inning. Ramon Laureano later belted a solo home run in the sixth. Bellozo has allowed 11 long balls in his last six starts, resulting in a 5.28 ERA during that span. For the year, he's sporting a 3.82 ERA with a 42:20 K:BB through 63.2 innings. Bellozo is currently in line to start in Toronto next week.

Allows two homers in loss Bellozo (2-4) took the loss against the Nationals on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Impact Bellozo was burned by homers in the second and sixth innings and was pulled with a 3-1 deficit at 92 pitches. The 24-year-old's velocity was down on each of his offerings, and he has now failed to complete six innings in nine of 11 outings this season. On the year, he owns a 3.70 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 39:19 K:BB across 58.1 innings and lines up to face Atlanta next weekend.

Tagged with third loss Bellozo (2-3) took the loss Monday against the Pirates. He allowed three runs (one earned) over 5.1 innings with six hits, one walk and two strikeouts.

Impact Bellozo battled against the Pirates Monday but unfortunately was on the wrong end of another dominating performance by Paul Skenes. Bellozo threw six shutout innings in a no-decision his last time out following back-to-back starts of six or more runs, so Monday's start is another positive sign. The rookie right-hander has allowed two runs or less in seven of his 10 starts this season, but in his other three starts he's allowed 17 runs, which has hampered his upside.

Blanks Nats in no-decision Bellozo came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Nationals, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out one.

Impact The rookie right-hander was far from dominant, producing only seven swinging strikes among his 85 pitches, but Bellozo minimized any hard contact and left the mound with the Marlins clinging to a 1-0 lead. The quality start was his second in nine big-league outings, and it was a strong bounce-back effort after he's been tagged for 12 runs (11 earned) over his last 8.2 innings. Bellozo will carry a 3.78 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 33:17 K:BB through 47.2 frames into his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Pittsburgh.
