Orioles Face Major Setback as Means and Wells Undergo Season-Ending Surgeries

Both pitchers to miss the remainder of 2024 and likely the start of 2025, challenging Baltimore's rotation depth.

John Means and Tyler Wells require UCL surgeries, sidelining them for the rest of the season.
The Orioles' starting rotation now includes Corbin Burnes, Kyle Bradish, Grayson Rodriguez, Cole Irvin, and Albert Suárez.
Dean Kremer is expected to return from a triceps strain before the end of June.
GM Mike Elias remains optimistic about internal depth but does not rule out trade acquisitions.
Top prospects Cade Povich and Chayce McDermott are close to MLB call-ups.
