2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Placed on 15-day IL
The Orioles placed Wells on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.
ANALYSIS
The assignment to the 15-day injured list is retroactive to April 13. Wells allowed four runs on six hits and a walk over four innings with three strikeouts in his last outing Friday. It was his second loss of the season as he fell to 0-2. The 29-year-old was supposed to start Wednesday, so the Orioles will have to make another move or fill in the spot with someone on the roster.

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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Wells turned a moderately successful 2021 as a reliever into a decent 2022 as a starter. He logged a 4.25 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 76:28 K:BB across 103.2 innings across 23 starts, though he needed some time to stretch out early in the year and lost six weeks in the second half to an oblique injury. The right-hander also ended the season on the shelf with a shoulder issue, which is concerning since it's the second year in a row that's popped up. The Orioles lacked a true ace after John Means' Tommy John surgery last spring, allowing Wells to stick around as a starter. Grayson Rodriguez and DL Hall are on the horizon of making a major-league impact, so it could end up making Wells a swingman. He might make do as a late-round pick in fantasy if he's a starter, but there's little chance he'll be in the mix for saves if he ends up in the bullpen. In any case, Wells has yet to prove he has the durability for a full major-league campaign, and he's yet to throw more than 119.1 innings in any season.
