INJURIES

No-decision in first career start Ellis went three innings and allowed three runs on five hits in a no-decision Wednesday against the Angels. He struck out three.
Impact Ellis was making his Baltimore debut -- and his first MLB start -- after being claimed on waivers from Tampa Bay last weekend. He gave up a two-run single to Brandon Marsh in the second inning and a solo homer to Jared Walsh to lead off the fourth before giving way to the bullpen. The 28-year-old Ellis, who has a 10:1 K:BB in his two big-league appearances this season, could stick in the Baltimore rotation for the short term.

First career start coming Wednesday Ellis is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Angels, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact The 28-year-old right-hander will at least temporarily step into the rotation as a replacement for Jorge Lopez, who was moved to the bullpen after losing his 14th game of the season Aug. 19 in Tampa Bay. After being scooped up off waivers from the Rays last weekend, Ellis has yet to make his Orioles debut, but he'll be making his first MLB start in a head-to-head matchup with Shohei Ohtani. Ellis tossed four scoreless innings of long relief in his last appearance with the Rays on Aug. 17, so he should be capable of giving Baltimore a decent amount of length Wednesday.

Claimed by Baltimore Ellis was claimed off waivers by the Orioles on Friday.
Impact Ellis was DFA'd by the Rays on Wednesday despite tossing four scoreless innings while earning the win over the Orioles in his season debut Tuesday. He'll now head to club he just defeated, where he should have a chance to log substantial innings down the stretch, either as a starter or in long relief.

Designated for assignment Ellis was designated for assignment by the Rays on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Ellis made his season debut Tuesday and allowed three hits and a walk while striking out seven in four scoreless innings to earn his first major-league win. However, the right-hander will be removed from the 40-man roster to make room for southpaw Ryan Yarbrough, who was reinstated from the COVID-19 IL on Wednesday.

Earns win in season debut Ellis (1-0) allowed three hits and one walk while striking out seven across four scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Orioles.
Impact Ellis followed Drew Rasmussen and Adam Conley into the game and threw the final four innings to earn the win in his season debut. He wasn't pitching in a high-leverage scenario -- he entered the game with an eight-run lead -- but the performance was impressive nevertheless. He generated 16 swinging strikes on only 62 pitches, backing up his seven punchouts. Ellis worked primarily as a starter with Triple-A Durham and struggled to a 6.32 ERA and 1.56 WHIP across 57 frames prior to being called up. While those numbers cast some doubt on his ability to carry this type of performance forward, the Rays' ability to put their pitchers in a position to succeed should aid Ellis to close the season.

Contract selected Monday Ellis' contract was selected from Triple-A Durham on Monday, Neil Solondz of the Rays Radio Network reports.
Impact Ellis failed to land a spot on the Rays' Opening Day roster and recorded a 6.32 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in 57 innings across 15 appearances (13 starts) at Triple-A Durham to begin the year. He should be available as a long reliever but will also be able to step in as a starter if needed.
