Tyler Wells Injury: Up to 77 pitches in rehab start

Wells (elbow) made his third rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out five.

Friday marked Wells' fourth rehab minor-league outing overall during his recovery from UCL surgery, and he was able to stretch out to 77 pitches. The right-hander is expected to make one or two more rehab appearances before being reinstated from the injured list, per MLB.com, so a return to the Orioles before the end of August remains in the cards. It's unclear if Baltimore plans on deploying Wells as a long reliever or a starter once he's cleared to rejoin the major-league club.
