Tyler Wells (elbow) is dealing with inflammation of the soft tissue in his right elbow, per Orioles manager Brandon Hyde.
Fantasy Impact
The Orioles do not believe the injury is serious and the hope is that he could return soon. Albert Suarez could take his turn in the rotation after performing well against the Twins.
The Orioles placed Tyler Wells on the IL with right elbow inflammation.
Fantasy Impact
Wells has struggled this season through two starts, posting a 5.87 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. This could be a big loss for the Orioles’ rotation though as they continue to wait on the return of John Means and Kyle Bradish.
Tyler Wells struggled in Friday's 11-1 loss to the Brewers, allowing four earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three over four innings.
Fantasy Impact
Wells continues a rough start on the mound to begin the season, allowing three or more runs in each of his three starts for the Orioles. The right-hander will be difficult to trust unless being utilized as a matchup-based streaming option for fantasy managers until the 29-year-old proves otherwise.
Tyler Wells is reportedly one of the front-runners for the final two spots in the Orioles starting rotation.
Fantasy Impact
Tyler Irvin is the other front-runner. This news comes after it was announced Kyle Bradish is opening up the season on the injured list. Wells got off to a strong start last season, but was shut down late in the year.
