Ricky Tiedemann News
Top Toronto Blue Jays prospect Ricky Tiedemann (elbow) underwent an MRI exam on Thursday after he experienced left-elbow discomfort, which led to his placement on the seven-day injured list with Triple-A Buffalo earlier this week. The Blue Jays are still waiting to hear from doctors. The oft-injured 21-year-old left-hander is now shut down in the minors and could be facing an extended absence. Tiedemann threw only 44 innings in the minors last year due to shoulder and biceps issues, so it's pretty concerning that their top prospect is dealing with another arm injury. Depending on how long Tiedemann is out with his latest injury, there's certainly a chance we won't see him make his major-league debut until 2025.
Toronto Blue Jays top pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann is off to a wild start, walking nine batters over his first 8 1/3 innings in 2024 for Triple-A Buffalo. Tiedeman has also struggled to keep the ball in the yard in the early going, allowing three home runs over his first three starts. While the 21-year-old has been uneven at the beginning of the Triple-A season, he has ace-like upside and has flashed that with more strikeouts than innings pitched thus far. Look for Tiedeman to right the ship as he settles in to push his way to Toronto at some point this season.
If Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman (shoulder) isn't ready to break camp with the team on Opening Day next week, manager John Schneider mentioned pitchers Mitch White, Yariel Rodriguez, Wes Parsons, Paolo Espino and Ricky Tiedemann as options to start the year in the rotation. "There are a lot of guys kind of in that conversation," Schneider said. Tiedemann, the team's top prospect per MLB Pipeline, is the most intriguing of the bunch, and he impressed Schneider with five strikeouts in three-plus innings in his Grapefruit League start on Thursday. Although it's probably still unlikely the Blue Jays push the 21-year-old southpaw to make his big-league debut at the start of 2024, it's another reminder that one of baseball's best overall pitching prospects should be stashed in all fantasy leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann will probably have to wait a few months to get his call to the majors. Toronto's starting rotation is equipped with four good pieces and Alek Manoah will look to grab hold of the fifth spot this spring. It's a good place for Tiedemann, however, as he started 15 games in the minors last season. His starting in Triple-A will let the organization control his innings so he can get into MLB action when his time comes. ATC projects 48 innings pitched for the 6'4" lefty, with 55 strikeouts. He's one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, so he should be pounced on when word comes of his arrival in Toronto. If your league has deeper bench slots, and you can stash someone, Tiedemann could be a prime candidate for that. He offers three plus pitches that led to a 44.1 percent strikeout rate in 2023. That kind of stuff will help keep his ERA down even if his WHIP suffers a bit due to some control issues.
