Tyler Wells, a right-handed pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles, underwent successful right elbow revision ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) surgery with UCL repair and internal brace augmentation. The surgery, performed by Dr. Keith Meister at Trinity Park Surgery Center in Arlington, Texas, is expected to offer a quicker recovery compared to Tommy John surgery. The Orioles have faced challenges with their pitching staff, as Kyle Bradish may also require Tommy John surgery, which would sideline him for the entire 2025 season.

Things are looking ominous for #Orioles Kyle Bradish, but, honestly, have since Feb. If he needs TJ surgery he will now miss all of 2025, too, and logged just 39 1/3 IP this season. Always seemed risky, especially w/Means and Wells iffy. How would you characterize it #birdland ?
