Ricky Tiedemann Hoping To Throw In 7-10 Days
7 months agoToronto Blue Jays left-handed pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann (elbow) has been diagnosed with left ulnar nerve inflammation, and the team is hopeful that he can resume throwing in seven to 10 days. For now, the Blue Jays' top pitching prospect will avoid going under the knife, which would have no doubt ended his 2024 season. The club will be extremely cautious with the 21-year-old southpaw, though, especially after he got off to a slow start for Triple-A Buffalo by pitching to a 5.63 ERA and 2.00 WHIP with 10 strikeouts and nine walks in eight innings pitched. Tiedemann is still one of the very best pitching prospects in the game, but given his latest injury (he also dealt with an arm injury last year), it's probably unlikely that we'll see him in the big leagues in 2024.
