Scouting Report: Ricky Tiedemann
Toronto Blue Jays | SP
Overall
Summary
Ricky Tiedemann (23-year-old LHP) remains in early stages of recovery from Tommy John surgery performed in 2025. As of May 11, 2026, he has not yet progressed to facing live hitters despite being cleared for mound work in late April. He was shut down this spring due to additional elbow soreness, indicating complications in his rehabilitation. The Blue Jays are proceeding with extreme caution, and Tiedemann is not expected to be a factor for the big-league staff until the second half of the season at the earliest.
Strengths
- Young age (23) provides long-term recovery potential
- Cleared for mound work in late April shows some progress
