August 27, 2025 3:35 PM : Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Wednesday that Wells (elbow) will be activated from the 60-day injured list next week and will be part of a six-man rotation for the remainder of the season, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Analysis: Wells is slated to make his final rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, and as long as he gets through that outing without any setbacks, he'll likely start Sept. 2 in San Diego. Once activated, Wells will be making his first appearance at the big-league level since he had a UCL revision and internal brace augmentation surgery in June 2024. Wells has pitched well thus far on his rehab assignment, posting a 2.37 ERA and 19:5 K:BB over 19 innings.
