His season is over.

Wells has really struggled since returning from an oblique strain earlier this month and now his season is over. 

It was actually a pretty solid season for Wells, who was moved into the rotation for the first time. He posted a 4.25 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 76 strikeouts over 103.2 innings pitched this season. He started 23 games and held a 7-7 record.

Because it's just inflammation he's injured with, the twenty-eight-year-old should have a fairly normal offseason. Wells should have a spot in the Orioles rotation next season.

He is a former 15th-round pick by the Minnesota Twins in the 2016 MLB Draft.
