Tyler Wells Relegated To Double-A On Sunday
10 months agoThe Baltimore Orioles have optioned starting pitcher Tyler Wells to Double-A Bowie. Right-hander Joey Krehbiel saw his contract selected as part of the roster moves. While this may come as a surprise to some, the wheels have really begun to fall off in Wells' last three starts. The 28-year-old has come apart for 11 runs, nine walks, and four home runs allowed over his last nine innings pitched after registering six quality starts out of eight prior appearances before the skid began. It acts as the regression some fantasy managers may have feared for Wells, who carries a 3.80 ERA overall despite a 5.17 FIP (113 2/3 IP) to the minor leagues. Fantasy managers should consider holding on to the big right-hander, but it remains uncertain what the plan is regarding how long he could be down for, especially depending on Baltimore's potential deadline moves.
