The Baltimore Orioles rotation got bad news on Friday from general manager Mike Elias.
General manager Mike Elias told reporters that left-hander John Means and right-hander Tyles Wells will undergo elbow surgery, according toThere were concerns about their injuries, but the hope was that it wasn't anything as serious as this.
For the second-place Orioles, this is massive news as they look to navigate themselves into a position to win the division. Ultimately, the goal is to win a World Series, and this news doesn't help those chances. Means threw in just 20 2/3 innings this season as he missed the start of the year. In his limited work, the left-hander had thrown well, posting a 2.61 ERA and 16 strikeouts.
Wells last appeared on April 12 and it was clear something was wrong when he was on the bump. The 29-year-old allowed 10 earned runs in 15 1/3 innings pitched, good for an ERA of 5.87. With the trade deadline approaching, this gives Baltimore a reason to go out and be aggressive. Losing two above-average pitchers isn't easy to replace, but they'll have to do just that if they want to find success in the later stages of the season.
