Ricky Tiedemann Set For Rehab Outing
6 months agoToronto Blue Jays top pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann (elbow) threw a 20-pitch live batting practice session on Friday, and manager John Schneider expects the left-handed hurler to make a rehab outing next, either in Single-A or at the team's spring training complex in Dunedin, Florida. It was the first time that Tiedemann had faced live hitters since landing on the seven-day minor-league injured list on April 18 with ulnar-nerve inflammation. The 21-year-old southpaw is making some good progress at this point, but expect the Blue Jays to be extremely careful with their prized arm, especially when considering his injury history. Once he's deemed healthy, he'll return to Triple-A Buffalo. Fantasy managers that have been stashing Tiedemann for a potential 2024 big-league call-up might get their hopes up this year.
