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
Confirmed for rotation
Wells will be the Orioles' No. 3 starter to open 2024, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wells likely has a bit more job security than Cole Irvin while John Means (elbow) and Kyle Bradish (elbow) work their way back to full health. Wells pitched to a 1.69 ERA over 10.2 innings across three spring starts. He's not guaranteed to stay in the rotation all year given his success in the bullpen in previous seasons, however.

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.
