US EditionSF Giants Prospect Blade Tidwell to Undergo MRI Due to Shoulder Discomfort
Blade Tidwell, 24, showed strong Triple-A performance with a 1.69 ERA and 23 strikeouts over 16 innings before shoulder discomfort led to an MRI to evaluate potential injury.
- Blade Tidwell, a 24-year-old right-handed pitching prospect with Triple-A Sacramento, will have an MRI of his right shoulder on Thursday after feeling discomfort during a recent bullpen workout.
- Tidwell was acquired in a trade that sent Tyler Rogers to the New York Mets and had been performing well in Triple-A with a 1.69 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 16 innings over three starts.
- Other pitching options include 23-year-old Hayden Birdsong, who has struggled with a 4.96 ERA over four Sacramento starts, and Carson Whisenhunt, who was optioned back to Triple-A after three major league starts with a 5.02 ERA.
- San Francisco’s season has faltered in the second half, leading to trades of key relievers, and the team faces uncertainty in its rotation while considering promoting top prospects such as Bryce Eldridge, whose major league debut is not yet assured as noted by president Buster Posey.
- Tidwell’s MRI results and recovery will influence the Giants’ pitching plans, possibly delaying his major league debut despite his promising performance, as the team proceeds cautiously amid a pivotal late-season phase.
