No Target Date For Tyler Wells
1 min agoMLB.com's Jake Rill reports that Baltimore Orioles right-hander Tyler Wells (elbow) is throwing but isn't putting any spin on the ball or going off a mound yet. Wells, who is recovering from UCL reconstruction via internal-brace surgery last June, doesn't have a target date for his return and is primarily focused on daily improvement while continuing to progress. The 30-year-old veteran won't be an option for the Orioles' starting rotation until around midseason in a best-case scenario, so he can be avoided in single-year fantasy drafts this spring. He had a career year in 2023 with the O's, going 7-6 with a career-best 3.64 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 118 2/3 innings over 25 outings (20 starts), but he made just three starts in 2024 before being shut down. Wells makes up for his lack of high-end velocity with plus control and elite movement of his pitches.
