June 29, 2025 12:35 PM : Wells is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Analysis: Wells will retreat to the bench during Sunday's day game, enabling Ben Rice to pick up a start behind the plate. The 25-year-old backstop has cooled down considerably at the dish of late, going just 5-for-33 (.152 average) with a 27.8 percent strikeout rate over his last 10 games.
