Availability
Tyler Wells will work out of the bullpen to begin the season.
Fantasy Impact
All four of Wells' appearances for the Orioles last season came as a starter, and just five of his 55 MLB games over the last four years have come as a reliever. However, the Orioles added multiple starting pitchers this offseason, and the club needs Wells to add depth to the bullpen.
The Orioles signed RHP Tyler Wells to a one-year, $2.45 million deal to avoid arbitration.
Fantasy Impact
Coming off Tommy John surgery, Wells made four starts to end last season where he posted a 2.91 ERA across 21 2/3 innings. He'll be fully healthy heading into next season.
Orioles GM Mike Elias said Tyler Wells is good as starter or reliever but plan now is to start him.
Fantasy Impact
Wells made four starts to end this season in his return from Tommy John surgery. He posted a 2.91 ERA across the four outings. He should compete for a spot at the end of the Orioles rotation heading into next season.
Tyler Wells allowed three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings in Wednesday's loss to the Rays.

Tyler Wells allowed one earned run on four hits and no walks while striking out four over six innings in Wednesday's victory against the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
After today’s win, Wells now has a 2.04 ERA and 0.62 WHIP to go with a 2-0 record across three starts. Wells has looked great since returning from elbow surgery and should be a major player for the Orioles in 2026.
