Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Friday that Tiedemann is "in the mix" to make the Opening Day roster and get a start during the first series of the season in Tampa Bay, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports. Tiedemann's potential inclusion on the Opening Day roster hinges on whether Kevin Gausman (shoulder) is ready for a start during the opening series or needs a short stint on the injured list. Mitch White is the favorite to handle the assignment, with Yariel Rodriguez, Wes Parsons and Paolo Espino also in the mix along with Tiedemann to fill in for Gausman. It's difficult to envision the young left-hander winning out if he would only be needed for one start, but the fact that he's even being considered points to his potential to reach the majors sooner rather than later....

Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Gets four outs in spring debut
Tiedemann (hamstring) struck out two over 1.1 innings and allowed one earned run on two hits Saturday in the Blue Jays' 13-5 win over the Phillies in Grapefruit League play. The Blue Jays' top pitching prospect was cleared to make his spring debut after he was initially scratched ahead of his Feb. 23 start due to a left hamstring injury. Both hits Tiedemann allowed went for extra bases -- a double by Trea Turner and a solo homer by Nick Castellanos -- but the young southpaw threw 26 pitches without issue and, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com, was sitting around 97 mph with his fastball. Though Tiedemann technically remains in the mix for the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster, the time he missed in camp due to a hamstring issue in addition to his need for further development in the minors after an injury-plagued 2023 means that he'll most likely be headed to Triple-A Buffalo to begin the campaign....

Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Works on back field Sunday
Tiedemann (hamstring) faced live hitters on a backfield Sunday and could see game action later this week, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. "It also depends on starting to run again, starting to field, making sure all of that is intact, because you're going to get those ground balls to first base where I need to run over and cover," Tiedemann said after Sunday's session. "I've got to be able to do that, but I think this week, I'll be in." The flamethrowing lefty faced a group of hitters that included big-leaguers Daulton Varsho, Cavan Biggio (shoulder) and Isiah Kiner-Falefa and leaned heavily on his slider with impressive results. Tiedemann estimates he could build up to a four-inning workload by the end of camp, and that might be enough to have the Blue Jays' top pitching prospect begin the year on the Opening Day roster, as both Kevin Gausman and Alek Manoah are currently dealing with shoulder issues....

Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Facing hitters next
Tiedemann (hamstring) bounced back well from Thursday's bullpen session and is expected to face hitters next, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. Tiedemann has been slowed lately with a left hamstring issue, but he's ramped back up without setbacks and is getting back on track. The young left-hander should still have time to build up in time for Opening Day, although he is expected to begin the season back in the minors.... See More ... See Less -
Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Resumes throwing
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Tiedemann (hamstring/calf) was able to play catch Sunday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports. Tiedemann was scratched ahead of his scheduled start in Saturday's Grapefruit League opener against the Phillies after experiencing inflammation between his left hamstring and calf, but his ability to throw in some fashion a day later is an encouraging sign. Schneider indicated that the Blue Jays are continuing to view Tiedemann as day-to-day, and the team likely won't pencil him back into the spring pitching schedule until he throws a bullpen session without issue....

Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Adds muscle over offseason
Tiedemann said Friday that he weighs 240 pounds after adding about 19 pounds of muscle over the offseason, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. Tiedemann isn't on the Blue Jays' 40-man roster yet but is in camp as a non-roster invitee. The top prospect was limited to just 44 innings in 2023 because of a biceps injury but he struck out 82 batters, plus another 23 across 21 Arizona Fall League frames. The left-hander is just 21 and has only 122.2 minor-league innings under his belt, but he's already reached Triple-A Buffalo and could push to debut in 2024.... See More ... See Less -
Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Moving up to Triple-A
The Blue Jays promoted Tiedemann from Double-A New Hampshire to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday. Tiedemann has dealt with shoulder issues this season and has been a bit of a mixed bag during his time at New Hampshire, posting a 5.06 ERA with 20 walks in 32 innings but also notching a whopping 58 strikeouts. The lefty's ability to make bats miss at a prolific clip has elevated him to becoming one of the top pitching prospects in the game, and he'll get his first taste of the International League this week....

Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Fans 11 at Double-A
Tiedemann gave up three runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks over 3.2 innings for Double-A New Hampshire on Tuesday, with all 11 outs coming via strikeout. The 21-year-old southpaw has struggled since coming off the minor-league IL in mid-August, getting tagged for eight earned runs in 9.2 innings over four appearances, but his 20 strikeouts during that stretch is a reminder of his elite upside. A biceps strain that cost him two and a half months of the season ended any chance Tiedemann might have had of making his big-league debut in 2023, but he'll head into next year a strong candidate to get the call at some point. Expect the Blue Jays to keep a very close eye on his health and workload however -- the 2021 third-round pick has pitched only 30.1 innings so far across all levels this season.... See More ...

Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Moves rehab to Single-A
Tiedemann (biceps) shifted his rehab assignment to Single-A Dunedin on Saturday, walking one and striking out six over three no-hit innings. Tiedemann remains on Double-A New Hampshire's 7-day injured list, but based on how he looked Saturday, he could be cleared to make his next start in the Eastern League following a nearly three-month absence due to biceps inflammation. Per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com, Tiedemann's fastball topped out at 97.6 miles per hour and averaged 95.7 mph, and he induced six whiffs on nine swings when he threw his sweeper. Tiedemann remains the Blue Jays' top pitching prospect, but because of the extensive time he missed this season, a 2023 big-league debut may not be in the cards for the 20-year-old southpaw....

Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Could return in three weeks
Tiedemann (biceps) could return for Double-A New Hampshire in three weeks, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports. The prized southpaw has been sitting 96-97 mph with his fastball during live batting practice sessions as he builds up after getting shut down with biceps inflammation in early May. As Davidi notes, the Blue Jays have been abundantly cautious this season with Tiedemann, not wanting to rush him back from a spring shoulder injury and this most recent biceps injury. Given the multiple recent arm injuries and high-end velocity, Tiedemann is as risky as they come from a short-term health standpoint.... See More ... See Less -
Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Placed on 7-day IL
Tiedemann has been placed on the 7-day injured list by Double-A New Hampshire on Friday with left biceps discomfort. Tiedemann felt the biceps discomfort during his start Thursday for the Fisher Cats. The left-hander will miss at least one turn in the rotation, but the results of the imaging have yet to be made public, so a long-term injury cannot be ruled out for the top pitching prospect in the Toronto system. If healthy, Tiedemann has the stuff to be a fantasy contributor in the 2023 campaign.... See More ... See Less -
Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Undergoing MRI on biceps
Tiedemann is undergoing an MRI on his left biceps Friday after exiting his start Thursday for Double-A New Hampshire, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports. The initial diagnosis is biceps soreness, but Tiedemann will have imaging to hopefully rule out any structural issues. Injuries have been a problem for the young lefty to begin the season, as he missed the first couple weeks with a shoulder issue. The top prospect could push to make his big-league debut at some point in 2023, but he'll need to get healthy first.... See More ... See Less -
Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Being evaluated for biceps issue
Tiedemann is being evaluated for left biceps discomfort after making an early exit from his start Thursday at Double-A New Hampshire, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. Tiedemann motioned to the dugout after throwing his 60th pitch of the game in the top of the fourth inning and was promptly removed. Early indications are that this biceps issue is unrelated to the shoulder trouble that caused him to miss the first couple weeks of the minor-league season, but there should be more clarity once further testing is conducted on the 20-year-old top prospect....

Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Throwing bullpen Wednesday
Tiedemann (shoulder) is throwing another bullpen session Wednesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. Tiedemann also was able to complete a bullpen session Saturday, and he continues to make progress from the minor left shoulder soreness that has plagued the southpaw since the middle of March. The top prospect in the Toronto system will begin the season with either Double-A New Hampshire or Triple-A Buffalo, but regardless of his landing spot, he has a great chance to make starts with the Blue Jays before the end of 2023....

Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Cleared for flat-ground work
Tiedemann (shoulder) will throw off flat ground at Blue Jays camp Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports. Manager John Schneider noted that Tiedemann is scheduled to get back on the mound Friday for a bullpen session if he fares well while playing catch Wednesday. The Blue Jays' top pitching prospect had been tending to the sore shoulder before being reassigned to minor-league camp Monday, but the injury doesn't look to be anything that will cost him significant time -- if any -- to begin the season....

Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Reassigned to minors camp
Tiedemann (shoulder) was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Blue Jays on Monday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. Tiedemann was recently shut down from throwing due to left shoulder soreness, but he likely was going to be sent to minor-league camp regardless of the injury. The top pitching talent in the Toronto system, Tiedemann was sensational in 2022, and assuming good health, he has a great opportunity to help the Blue Jays before the end of the 2023 campaign....

Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Named Toronto's top minor leaguer
Tiedemann was named the Blue Jays' 2022 Minor League Player of the Year by Baseball America after putting up a 2.17 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 117:29 K:BB over 18 starts across three levels this season. Tiedemann finished the year with an 11-inning stint in Double-A, where he looked just as good as he had in Single-A and High-A. This was a spectacular breakout season for the 2021 third-round pick, with the only drawback being that he pitched a mere 78.2 innings. It'll take some time for Tiedemann to ramp up to an MLB workload, but all signs are pointing up for him.... See More ... See Less -
Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Dominant again for Vancouver
Tiedemann struck out nine and allowed three hits and a walk over five scoreless innings for High-A Vancouver on Friday in a win over Tri-City. The 19-year-old southpaw continues to soar up prospect rankings with a breakout campaign. In four starts since his promotion to High-A, Tiedemann has a 0.46 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB through 19.2 innings, and the third-round pick in the 2021 draft is looking like an absolute steal for the Blue Jays. Tiedemann's fastball sits 95-96 mph and he pairs it with a changeup and slider that have both flashed plus, as all three pitches were producing a CSW rate of over 35 percent at Single-A prior to his promotion last month. While the organization won't want to over-extend a promising teenage arm in his first pro season, it seems likely Tiedemann will get a look at Double-A batters this summer if he remains unchallenged in the Northwest League.... See More ... See Less -
Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Perfect start at Single-A
Tiedemann had the best start of his career Friday for Single-A Dunedin, striking out nine over five perfect innings. The 91st overall pick in the 2021 draft, Tiedemann didn't make his pro debut until this season as a 19-year-old at Single-A. He has gone exactly five innings in each of his first four starts and has not allowed a run while giving up just two hits total over his last three starts. Tiedemann walked four batters in both his second and third starts of the campaign, but that's the one blemish on his early resume. He has a mid-90s fastball and leans on a strong changeup, which is a good recipe for a 6-foot-4 lefty to have success in the lower levels.... See More ... See Less
