Baltimore Orioles pitchers John Means and Tyler Wells will miss the remainder of the 2024 MLB season due to season-ending elbow surgeries. Orioles' General Manager Mike Elias announced that both players require UCL repairs. It remains undetermined whether the procedures will involve Tommy John surgery or another type of ligament repair. This development is particularly disappointing for Means, who was attempting to return from a previous surgery but struggled to fully recover. The team loses two veteran arms with this setback.

Mike Elias just announced that both John Means and Tyler Wells need UCL repairs and are done for the year. Particularly brutal for Means, who was trying to come back from surgery and just never got over the hump.
