Ricky Tiedemann To Have Tommy John Surgery
Top Blue Jays pitching prospect Ricky Tiedemann will have Tommy John surgery on July 30, Toronto manager John Schneider told the media. The procedure will come after a season limited by injuries to just 17.1 innings, nearly half of which came in rehab outings in Low-A and Rookie ball. This comes after a 2023 season that saw Tiedemann, the team’s third-round pick in 2021, pitch just 44 innings in the regular season before a successful stint in the Arizona Fall League. The procedure will likely cost Tiedemann the rest of this season and most—if not all—of next year as well.
