2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wells had a career year in 2023, but he made three starts in 2024 before getting shut down and eventually needing UCL revision and internal brace augmentation surgery in mid-June. General manager Mike Elias said in November that the team is hoping to get Wells back around midseason to work in some capacity, and his role will likely be determined by how quickly he recovers and if the team needs him in the rotation. It's possible that those in dynasty leagues and draft-and-hold leagues will be able to get double-digit starts from Wells later this summer, and he's shown at least streamer upside and when he's going well, he can be utilized in mixed leagues. Wells has a good changeup, a plus slider and plus control, which helps make up for his low-90s fastball. He also has elite movement (19 inches of induced vertical break) on his four-seamer, which allows the pitch to play above its velocity. In roto leagues, Wells' career 1.12 WHIP in 46 big-league starts is perhaps the best argument for monitoring his recovery. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $2.08 million contract with the Orioles in January of 2025.
Wins in return to majors
Wells (1-0) allowed two runs on five hits and struck out four without walking a batter over five innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Padres.
Analysis
Wells missed nearly 15 months while recovering from his June 14, 2024 UCL revision and internal brace augmentation procedure. He had a fairly normal workload in his return to a big-league mound, throwing 65 of 85 pitches for strikes while keeping a strong offense under control. Luis Arraez's two-run home run accounted for the runs on Wells' line. Wells posted a 2.49 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB over 25.1 innings across six outings during his rehab assignment, and he appears to be stretched out enough to remains in the Orioles' rotation over the final month of the season. His second start is projected to be at home versus the Pirates.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Wells was dynamite in the first half for the Orioles in 2023, putting up a 3.18 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 103:24 K:BB over 104.2 frames. He then fell apart in a hurry after the All-Star break, getting knocked around in three straight starts which led to a demotion to the minors. Wells got moved to the bullpen at Triple-A Norfolk and eventually found his way back to Baltimore, where he made eight scoreless appearances between the regular season and playoffs. The plan is for Wells to return to the rotation in 2024, with the hope that he can rediscover his 2023 first-half form. Wells is an extreme flyball pitcher with home run issues, and his expected stats say he overachieved some last season. He's always been a WHIP standout, though, and his home run problems are muted somewhat by the new left field dimensions at Camden Yards.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In line for rotation spot in 2024
Wells is expected to return to a rotation role for the Orioles in 2024, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Analysis
Wells was demoted to the minors and eventually the bullpen following a rough patch in the middle of the season. He thrived down the stretch in a relief role, throwing a combined 8.1 scoreless innings while yielding just one hit and one walk with nine strikeouts. The 29-year-old was the Orioles' best starter in the first half, though, collecting a 3.18 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 103:24 K:BB over 104.2 frames. Now that Wells' workload is built up a little more, the O's will hope fatigue isn't as much of a factor in 2024.
