Tampa Bay Rays ยท RP/SP
Wells enters 2026 as a reliable mid-rotation starter for Baltimore with solid early-season performance, posting a 3.35 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across limited innings while accumulating 40 strikeouts. His ERA has remained consistently strong over the past two seasons, though the modest win total reflects the Orioles' overall pitching depth and competition for victories. Fantasy managers should view him as a depth starter capable of consistent ratios in ERA and WHIP categories, though his strikeout rate and win production may limit ceiling appeal compared to top-tier arms. The key risk lies in potential innings limitations given his injury history since his 2021 debut, making him best suited for deeper leagues seeking stabilizing ERA and WHIP contributions rather than league-winning upside.
