Tyler Wells's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias said the team is expecting both right-handers Kyle Bradish (elbow) and Tyler Wells (elbow) to be ready to return around midseason in 2025. When Bradish underwent Tommy John surgery in mid-June with an internal brace, he was given a 12- to 18-month recovery timetable. The 28-year-old has yet to resume throwing, so it's almost a certainty that he won't make his 2025 debut until after the All-Star break. Wells also had season-ending surgery in mid-June due to UCL revision surgery while also receiving an internal brace. Bradish is the more established starter in Baltimore, while Wells' role is to be determined whenever he's ready to return. Bradish broke out to the tune of a 2.83 ERA and 1.04 WHIP in 30 starts in 2023 and had a 2.75 ERA after eight starts this past season before injuring his elbow.

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.

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.
