Tyler Wells' Season Is Over

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Tyler Wells (elbow) will miss the rest of the 2024 season, according to general manager Mike Elias. Wells is set to undergo season-ending elbow surgery, but Elias said it's not yet known whether it will be Tommy John surgery. That won't be known for Wells until he goes in for his procedure. It's a tough break for a pitcher that has already had Tommy John surgery in his career. The 29-year-old recently was scheduled to play catch for the first time since May 1, but apparently that didn't go well. The former 15th-round pick by the Minnesota Twins in 2016 out of Cal State San Bernardino was able to make only three starts for the O's in 2024, posting a 5.87 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with 13 strikeouts in 15 1/3 innings. Because of the timing of his surgery, Wells probably won't be an option for the O's and fantasy managers until the second half in 2025.

Tyler Wells Cleared To Resume Throwing

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Tyler Wells (elbow) has been cleared to resume throwing. Wells has been sidelined since the middle of April after experiencing right elbow inflammation. The 29-year-old may be on the road to recovery, but his return is still likely several weeks away. He produced a solid season in 2023 with a 7-6 record, 3.64 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 117:34 K:BB across 25 appearances. He is not worth stashing in the majority of fantasy leagues but could offer some value to fantasy managers later in the season when he is back on the mound.

Tyler Wells Still Undergoing Tests

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Tyler Wells (elbow) played catch on Wednesday and is still undergoing tests, according to manager Brandon Hyde, who had nothing further to report on the hurler. Working his way back from inflammation in his right elbow, Wells still has no clear timetable for his return to Baltimore's rotation at this juncture. Considering the big 29-year-old right-hander logged a shaky 5.87 ERA and 1.37 WHIP while striking out 13 batters and walking three over 15 1/3 innings (three starts), he doesn't need to be stashed in the majority of fantasy leagues. The O's just reinstated Kyle Bradish and John Means from the injured list this week, but Dean Kremer and Cole Irvin will still be needed as starters until Wells is back in the fold, and they'll have streaming appeal under the appropriate circumstances.

Tyler Wells Placed On Injured List

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Tyler Wells (elbow) has been placed on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday. The right-hander will take a few weeks off while he recovers from right elbow inflammation. Wells hasn't looked too good this season with a 5.87 ERA and 1.37 WHIP through three starts. Despite that, Wells is still worth rostering in mixed leagues given his good track record. In a corresponding move, catcher David Banuelos has been recalled from Triple-A to take the spot on the roster.

Tyler Wells, Cole Irvin Front-Runners For Final Rotation Spots

The Baltimore Orioles starting rotation on Opening Day is expected to be headlined by right-handers Corbin Burnes, Grayson Rodriguez and Dean Kremer, with Tyler Wells and Cole Irvin likely the front-runners for the final two spots. Prospects Chayce McDermott, Cade Povich and Justin Armbruester are all in camp, and Bruce Zimmermann is another option. Wells and Irvin could be needed early on due to injuries to Kyle Bradish (elbow) and John Means (elbow). Wells, 29, had a 3.64 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 117 K's and 34 walks in 118 2/3 innings in 2023 but had a disastrous second half with an ERA over 7.00. Irvin, 30, finished last year with a 4.42 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with 68 strikeouts and 21 walks in just 77 1/3 innings pitched. Wells will be the more attractive deep-league streamer if he's in the O's rotation to kick off the season.

Tyler Wells Picks Up Crucial Save

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.

Orioles Recall Tyler Wells

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).

Tyler Wells Relegated To Double-A On Sunday

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.

Tyler Wells Turns In Quality Start, No-Decision Monday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Tyler Wells turned in another solid start in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Yankees. Wells pitched six innings, allowing two runs on five hits (including two solo home runs) and two walks with four strikeouts. The 28-year-old has pitched surprisingly well this season, going 6-4 with a 3.19 ERA and seven quality starts in 16 outings. He has provided a good deal of fantasy value and will look to keep things going in his next start at the Twins.

Tyler Wells Allows Five Runs In Five Innings Versus Yankees

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Tyler Wells allowed five runs during his five innings on the mound against the Yankees in a 9-6 win for the Orioles. Although he didn't receive a decision for his performance, Wells struck out eight batters. On the flip side, he gave up three home runs. Despite this setback, the 28-year-old right-hander maintains impressive statistics this season, boasting a solid 3.47 ERA, 0.84 WHIP while pitching 57 innings. His next start will be on Monday against the Guardians, who are struggling offensively.
