Wells

Wells has recovered from an injury to his pitching elbow, but the O’s elected to remove him from the 40-man roster. He’ll remain at Norfolk as depth.

Wells scattered one hit and notched one strikeout, throwing 22 pitches (18 strikes) over two efficient frames. The 25-year-old lefty figures to make it back to the Orioles’ pitching staff sometime this month. He’s been out since early May due to a left elbow UCL sprain.

Wells threw 35 pitches (26 strikes) and finished with a pair of strikeouts. The 25-year-old lefty has been out since early May due to a left UCL sprain and has a shot at getting back to the Orioles’ bullpen sometime next month, if not sooner.

Wells has been sidelined since early May due to a Grade 1 strain of his left ulnar collateral ligament. The 25-year-old lefty has a shot at making it back to the Orioles’ bullpen before the end of the regular season.

Wells experienced elbow discomfort following last Tuesday’s contest against the Yankees and was placed on the 10-day injured list shortly afterwards. He’s expected to avoid surgery, but the 25-year-old left-hander is expected to be sidelined for at least the next two months.

The 25-year-old southpaw appeared in two games with the big league club, posting a 4.91 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 6/2 K/BB ratio across 3 2/3 innings of work. It’s unclear how long he may be sidelined. Tyler Nevin was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Wells has worked two scoreless innings of relief this season at the major league level. The left-hander will presumably be available out of the Orioles’ bullpen on Tuesday night against the Yankees.

Wells made one appearance for the Orioles, tossing two scoreless innings with three strikeouts Saturday against the Yankees. He’ll continue to serve as organizational depth capable of providing bulk innings in relief.

Wells will provide the Orioles with some additional pitching depth, likely in a relief role moving forward. The 24-year-old southpaw registered an inflated 6.75 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 26/16 K/BB ratio across 42 2/3 innings last year at the major-league level.

The 24-year-old southpaw struggled mightily in 11 appearances (eight starts) with the big league club, posting a 6.75 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 26/16 K/BB ratio across 42 2/3 innings, though he finished the season strong by allowing just one run over six innings in a victory over the Red Sox on Thursday.
