Ricky Tiedemann News
Toronto Blue Jays left-handed pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann (biceps) is being considered week-to-week with left-biceps inflammation after his injury was revealed during an MRI exam last week. The 20-year-old southpaw has been slowed by injuries so far in 2023 and has made only four starts for Double-A New Hampshire, posting a 4.97 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, seven walks and 23 strikeouts in 12 2/3 innings pitched. The team's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, has loads of upside in his left arm, but fantasy managers in single-year leagues might be expecting too much if they think Tiedemann is going to be a fantasy force at some point in 2023. The Blue Jays certainly aren't going to rush the talented left-hander back from this injury.
Toronto Blue Jays top prospect Ricky Tiedemann was removed from his start for Double-A New Hampshire after experiencing left bicep discomfort, according to Kaitlyn McGrath. The former third-rounder is the 28th-best prospect in all of baseball, as per MLB Pipeline, and he's pitched to a 4.97 ERA with 23 punchouts and seven walks over four starts and 12.2 innings. It isn't clear if Tiedemann will have to miss time, but the 20-year-old is unlikely to see the majors until 2024 anyways. He has a ton of value in dynasty leagues with his strikeout potential, but fantasy managers can ignore him in all redraft formats.
Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann (shoulder) was absolutely dominant in his first start of the year on Thursday for Double-A New Hampshire, tossing three shutout innings on two hits while walking none and striking out nine. That will surely turn the heads of fantasy managers looking to stash up-and-coming prospects. The team's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, was unable to win an Opening Day roster spot because of a shoulder injury in spring training, but he has all the skills required to make his major-league debut at some point in 2023 if he's healthy. The 20-year-old southpaw has elite upside, although his workload is surely to be monitored this year, meaning he probably won't help all that much in fantasy if he's called up to the big leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays left-handed pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann will likely begin the 2023 campaign with Double-A New Hampshire. He could be in line for a quick promotion to Triple-A if he can continue to build off his 2022 professional debut. In 2022, across three levels (including Double-A) and 18 starts, the twenty-year-old lefty posted a dominant 2.17 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and 117 strikeouts against 29 walks in 78 2/3 innings pitched. Thanks to his breakout season in which he held opposing batters to a .149 average and .252 on-base percentage, Tiedemann quickly shot up prospect boards. He is currently the 32nd overall MLB prospect, as per MLB Pipeline. He is also the 31st-ranked prospect by Baseball America, the top Blue Jays organizational prospect, and widely considered the top left-handed MLB prospect arm. Tiedemann possesses three dominant pitches, including a plus-plus fastball and slider, with excellent control. In 2023, Tiedemann will get a good look at the Blue Jays' spring training camp to see how he fares against MLB hitting. While optimistic insiders believe he could see the majors sometime in the middle of the season should he perform well at Double-A and Triple-A, it is more likely Tiedemann will be a late-season addition to the Blue Jays roster if he gets the call. The Blue Jays have a deep starting rotation, which now includes Chris Bassitt, creating a barrier for Tiedemann. A current pre-season 669 ADP reflects this fact. Though he is a must-roster in dynasty formats, only those managers in the deepest of mixed or AL-only redraft formats should expend draft capital in the spring to hold him for four-to-five months. That said, managers should keep an eye on his progress during the season and be ready to pounce if imminent call-up rumors begin and persist.
