Alex Wells Fantasy Stats

The Baltimore Orioles placed left-handed pitcher Alexander Wells (elbow) on the 10-day injured list on Friday. The 25-year-old is currently dealing with left elbow soreness. In a corresponding move, the team called up infielder Tyler Nevin and he is getting the start at third base on Friday. Wells has made two appearances so far this year, both out of the bullpen. He pitched a pair of scoreless innings in his first appearance, but was tagged for two solo home runs over 1 2/3 innings in his second outing.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alexander Wells improved to 2-3 in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Red Sox. Wells pitched 6 innings, allowing one run on three hits (including a solo home run) and two walks with two strikeouts. The 24-year-old had a poor 6.75 ERA, 1.62 WHIP, and 13.2% strikeout rate through 42 2/3 IP this season, but it was nice to see him have a good final start. At this point, Wells offers little fantasy value, even in dynasty leagues.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alexander Wells struggled again in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Yankees. Wells pitched 4 innings, allowing five runs on seven hits (including three home runs) and a walk with three strikeouts. The 24-year-old has had pretty good minor-league numbers but has not seen that translate with the O's this season, going 1-3 with a 7.76 ERA and 1.91 WHIP. It is uncertain when his next start will be, but fantasy players should avoid him regardless at this time, even in dynasty leagues.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alexander Wells did not give his team a change to win in Tuesday's 13-1 loss to the Yankees. Wells pitched just 2 1/3 innings, allowing six runs on seven hits and no walks with two strikeouts. The 24-year-old has now made just three starts with the O's but is 1-2 with a 7.64 ERA. His next start will be a tough one against the Tigers at home. He offers little fantasy value at this time, including in deeper dynasty leagues.

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Alexander Wells fell to 1-1 in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Tigers. Wells pitched 5 innings, allowing four runs on seven hits (including a two-run home run) and three walks with four strikeouts. The 24-year-old has now made two starts and two relief appearances for the O's this season and owns a 5.28 ERA and a bloated 5.28 BB/9 rate. His next start should come at the Yankees. Fantasy managers should avoid Wells at this time.

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Alexander Wells had a successful spot start in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Rays. Wells was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to fill in for Keegan Akin (Covid-19), pitching 5 2/3 innings and allowing three runs on five hits (including two home runs) and two walks with seven strikeouts. The 24-year-old has only pitched 10 1/3 innings with the O's this season and has a 4.35 ERA. It is unknown when Akin will return from the Covid-19 injured list, so Wells could potentially be called upon again to start. In any event, his unknown role with the team limits his fantasy value at this time.

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Alexander Wells was promoted to the majors on Friday, according to Nathan Ruiz of the Baltimore Sun. One of the top prospects in Baltimore's system, Wells struggled in his first four starts of the year at Triple-A, going 1-2 with a 9.88 ERA over 13 2/3 innings of work. He's looked much better on the mound over his last four appearances though, going 3-1 with a 2.45 ERA and 19 strikeouts in 18 1/3 innings of work. Wells will likely be used in the bullpen or as a spot starter, and as such his value will be limited early on.
