Tyler Wells News
Baltimore Orioles right-handed pitcher Tyler Wells picked up his first save of the season on Thursday, finishing off a 2-0 shutout victory over the Boston Red Sox. Wells pitched a perfect frame without striking out a batter. The 29-year-old had been used as a starter through July, but was shut down after innings concerns arose while he appeared to be fading. He returned in late September as a reliever and appears to have the trust of manager Brandon Hyde, who used Wells to close out their division-clinching game tonight. He will likely hold a high-leverage relief role in the playoffs but should return to his starting job next year, giving him some fantasy value later in drafts.
The Baltimore Orioles recalled right-hander Tyler Wells, the team's top starter in the first half, from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday to help boost their fatigued bullpen. In a corresponding move, pitcher Mike Baumann was optioned to the minors. The 29-year-old Wells was sent to the minors early in the second half of the season when he started to struggle in a starting role for Baltimore. He had been pitching in relief for Norfolk and will finish the regular season out of the bullpen while also likely being an option in relief for the playoffs. In 113 2/3 innings for the O's this year, Wells has gone 7-6 with a 3.80 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 111 strikeouts in 21 appearances (20 starts).
The Baltimore Orioles have optioned starting pitcher Tyler Wells to Double-A Bowie. Right-hander Joey Krehbiel saw his contract selected as part of the roster moves. While this may come as a surprise to some, the wheels have really begun to fall off in Wells' last three starts. The 28-year-old has come apart for 11 runs, nine walks, and four home runs allowed over his last nine innings pitched after registering six quality starts out of eight prior appearances before the skid began. It acts as the regression some fantasy managers may have feared for Wells, who carries a 3.80 ERA overall despite a 5.17 FIP (113 2/3 IP) to the minor leagues. Fantasy managers should consider holding on to the big right-hander, but it remains uncertain what the plan is regarding how long he could be down for, especially depending on Baltimore's potential deadline moves.
