Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Chris Ellis (shoulder) underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder on Wednesday. The team announced that he will miss the remainder of the 2022 season. Ellis made just two starts this year before landing on the injured list. He had an ugly 10.38 ERA and 2.54 WHIP over those two starts, which spanned 4.1 innings. The 29-year-old will have a lengthy rehabilitation process ahead.

The Baltimore Orioles placed starting pitcher Chris Ellis (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. The move is retroactive to Monday, April 25. The 29-year-old is dealing with right shoulder inflammation. Left-handed pitcher Alexander Wells was called up from Triple-A to fill Ellis' roster spot. Wells made a relief appearance for the Orioles earlier this year before he was sent down to Triple-A. Ellis was scheduled to make his next start this coming Saturday against the Boston Red Sox. The team hasn't announced who will make that start in his place, but Wells could be a candidate as he's primarily been a starter in the minors.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Chris Ellis (arm) is dealing with arm fatigue and he will not be making his scheduled start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. The team will go with a bullpen game on Tuesday instead. Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told the media that Ellis is being pushed back "a couple of days." The 28-year-old right-hander has pitched well since being claimed off waivers in late August. Over five starts, he's posted a 2.82 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. However, he hasn't pitched past the fifth inning in any of his starts with the Orioles yet and he's averaging just 5.6 K/9.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Chris Ellis turned in a middling start in Thursday's 3-2 extra-innings win over the Yankees. Ellis pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on three hits (including a solo home run) and four walks with three strikeouts. While he hasn't pitched deep into games, Ellis has pitched well for the O's, going 1-0 with a 2.39 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. His next matchup won't be great at the Phillies, but fantasy managers should not be trusting Ellis this late into the season, regardless of matchup.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Chris Ellis turned in an encouraging start in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Blue Jays. Ellis pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing a single run on two hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with two strikeouts. The 28-year-old has made just three appearances this season but has a 3.09 ERA to show for it. If he slots into the rotation again he would face the Yankees on the road. Fantasy managers should not trust Ellis at this point in the season with such a small sample size.

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Chris Ellis was designated for assignment on Wednesday. Right-hander Ryan Yarbrough was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move. Ellis was impressive in his debut by shutting down the Orioles over four innings to pick up his first career win on Wednesday. Despite the terrific performance, the 28-year-old will be sent down to make room for Ryan Yarbrough. Yarbrough is expected to follow an opener in Wednesday's contest against the Baltimore Orioles. Fantasy managers in deep-league formats can use Yarbrough as a streamer but shouldn't expect the southpaw to go deep into the game in his first start back. The 29-year-old owns a 4.76 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 4.42 FIP across 119 innings in 2021.

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Chris Ellis (1-0) allowed three hits and one walk while striking out seven across four scoreless innings during Tuesday's 10-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles. He made his season debut and picked up his first career win on Tuesday. The 28-year-old was impressive in his debut by shutting down the Orioles over four innings during Tuesday's win. He threw 62 pitches, landing 45 for strikes, including generating 16 swinging strikes. Phillips struggled in Triple-A Durham with a 6.32 ERA over 57 innings; fantasy managers shouldn't rush to the waiver wire to add him.
