Ricky Tiedemann Will be Stretched Out to Multiple Innings
Toronto Blue Jays left-handed pitcher Ricky Tiedemann (elbow) will be stretched out to multiple innings during spring training, according to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet. Tiedemann is coming off Tommy John surgery, and while the Jays will stretch him out during the coming weeks, he won't be in a bulk role for the entire season. The organization will evaluate his workload on a month-to-month basis, and he has a shot to make his MLB debut as a bullpen option late in the season. Tiedemann hasn't thrown in a live game since 2024, when he amassed just 17.1 innings before getting injured. He made four short Triple-A starts that year, posting 12 walks and 11 strikeouts over nine innings of work. That was a small sample size, though, and he had pitched to a much more encouraging 1.68 FIP, 16.77 K/9, and 4.70 BB/9 in the minors the year before. Toronto won't rush the former third-round pick into making his MLB debut, but the fact that he's already on the 40-man roster bodes well for his chances of making the big-league squad at some point in 2026.
