Orioles Pitcher Tyler Wells Placed on 15-Day Injured List Due to Elbow Inflammation.
Tyler Wells, the Orioles' No. 3 starter, is sidelined with right elbow inflammation, complicating the team's rotation plans ahead of their game against the Minnesota Twins.
- Tyler Wells was placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Saturday, after his last start resulted in a loss with four runs allowed in four innings.
- The Orioles must now adjust their rotation, potentially relying on their bullpen or calling up a pitcher from Triple-A Norfolk for Wednesday's game.
- David Banuelos has been selected from Triple-A Norfolk to fill Wells' roster spot, while infielder Livan Soto was designated for assignment.
- This marks Wells' first injury since shoulder inflammation in September 2022, following a midseason demotion last year.
- The Orioles have several other pitchers on injury rehabilitation assignments, adding further strain to the team's pitching resources.
