The Orioles selected Wells with the 17th pick of the Rule 5 draft.

EDGE Analysis

Wells underwent Tommy John surgery in May of 2019, so he should be fully healthy at this point. The 26-year-old righty logged a 1.65 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 39 strikeouts in 32.2 innings at Double-A back in 2018. Baltimore will likely deploy the former Twin as a low-leverage reliever.
