Secures three-out save Tidwell earned a save against the Mets on Thursday, allowing two hits and striking out two batters over three scoreless innings.

Impact Tidwell was called up from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of the contest and ended up covering the final three innings for the Giants. The right-hander breezed through his outing, holding New York without a hit while throwing 24 of 37 pitches for strikes. He was rewarded with his first career save, though there's no reason to expect additional save opportunities to come his way given that he'll likely be deployed in middle and long relief.

Daniel Susac enjoys big night in first major league start as the Giants top Mets 7-2

Recalled from Sacramento The Giants recalled Tidwell from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact After being sent down to Triple-A to begin the regular season, Tidwell will quickly receive a call-up to the majors to replace the injured Jose Butto (forearm). Tidwell, 24, gave up 15 earned runs over 15 innings with the Mets last year, but he kicked off the 2026 campaign by striking out three batters over 2.2 scoreless innings with Sacramento.

Sent to Triple-A The Giants optioned Tidwell to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Tidwell struck out five across 5.2 innings during spring training but also had his share of troubles, surrendering seven earned runs on eight hits and five walks. The right-hander had a 9.00 ERA and 10:10 K:BB across 15 frames in his first taste of the majors last year, and it should only be a matter of time before the Giants bring him back up to the big club this season.

Scoreless outing in spring opener Tidwell allowed one walk and struck out three across one scoreless inning in Saturday's 10-5 Cactus League win over the Mariners.

Impact Tidwell struck out three of the four batters he faced Saturday, tossing 13 of his 25 pitches for strikes. While the right-hander has mostly operated as a starter in the minors, he'll have an opportunity to make the Opening Day roster as a reliever with Jason Foley (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list and Sam Hentges (shoulder/knee) still ramping up. Tidwell was traded from the Mets to the Giants in late July but never saw action with the latter big-league club and also missed time due to a right shoulder injury. Over four appearances (three starts) with Triple-A Sacramento in 2025, the 24-year-old posted a 1.50 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB across 18.0 innings.

Works past shoulder issue Tidwell (shoulder) was activated from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Tidwell missed just under one month of action after experiencing a flare up in his right shoulder. He fired two scoreless frames in his first game since being activated Wednesday against Triple-A Round Rock, lowering his ERA to 3.28 in 11 appearances (49.1 innings) since June 4.

Undergoing MRI on shoulder Tidwell will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder after experiencing discomfort during a recent bullpen session, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Tidwell was acquired from the Mets at the trade deadline in the deal that sent Taylor Rogers to New York. Since being acquired by San Francisco, Tidwell has pitched in three games (two starts) at Triple-A Sacramento, registering a 1.69 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB across 16 innings of work. He's likely to be shut down for a little while.

Undergoing MRI on shoulder Tidwell will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder after experiencing discomfort during a recent bullpen session, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Tidwell was one of three players the Giants acquired July 30 in the deal that sent reliever Tyler Rogers to the Mets. The Giants assigned Tidwell to Triple-A Sacramento following his acquisition, and he pitched in three games (two starts) for the affiliate, registering a 1.69 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB across 16 innings. He may have been in line for a promotion to the big leagues at some point later this season, but the shoulder issue could end up delaying his Giants debut until 2026.

Impact Tidwell reached the big leagues for the first time earlier this season and made four appearances (two starts) for the Mets while posting a 9.00 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in 15 innings. With the Mets getting the likes of Kodai Senga, Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea back from the injured list in recent weeks, Tidwell became buried on the organization's depth chart, but he should have a clearer path to contributing at the big-league level with San Francisco. The 24-year-old right-hander is expected to begin his time in his new organization in the rotation at Triple-A Sacramento.

Relegated to Syracuse The Mets optioned Tidwell to Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday.

Impact Tidwell picked up his first career win in the big leagues Wednesday against the Brewers, but not before giving up three runs over 4.1 innings. The 24-year-old now owns a 9.00 ERA and 2.20 WHIP through 15 frames in the majors and will head back to Syracuse in order to right the ship.

Picks up first big-league win Tidwell (1-1) earned the win in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Brewers, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

Impact Tidwell worked in a bulk role Wednesday after Huascar Brazoban pitched the first inning. The rookie right-hander was sharp early, holding the Brewers to just two hits through his first four innings. However, Tidwell would give up back-to-back homers to Christian Yelich and Jackson Chourio to open the sixth before Milwaukee scratched across a third run after New York turned to the bullpen. While it wasn't the finish Tidwell would have wanted, the Mets managed to hang on to the lead, giving the 24-year-old his first major-league win. Overall, Tidwell sports a 9.00 ERA with a 2.20 WHIP and 10:10 K:BB through his first 15 innings. He'll likely return to the minors with Sean Manaea (elbow) nearing a return.

Pitching behind opener Wednesday Tidwell is slated to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Huascar Brazoban in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Brewers, Manny Gomez of NJ.com reports.

Impact Tidwell was initially listed as the Mets' scheduled starter for Game 2, but the club made the late decision to use the right-hander behind an opener following a 7-2 loss to the Brewers in the first game of the day. The rookie will be making his fourth appearance of the season for the Mets, after previously allowing 12 earned runs in 10.2 innings across two starts and one relief outing. Though he'll be taking over the rotation spot that opened up after Griffin Canning suffered a season-ending Achilles injury last week, Tidwell may be headed back to the minors after his appearance Wednesday. Lefty Sean Manaea (oblique/elbow) will make a rehab start with Double-A Binghamton on Wednesday and could be ready to return from the 60-day injured list the next time the Mets require a fifth starter.

Joey Ortiz hits tiebreaking slam and Brewers beat reeling Mets 7-2 in 1st game of twinbill

Replacing Canning in rotation Tidwell is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Brewers at Citi Field.

Impact Tidwell will take over the rotation spot vacated by Griffin Canning, who ruptured his Achilles tendon Thursday and is set to miss the remainder of the season. After he was called up from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Tidwell was put to work out of the bullpen later that night in the Mets' 9-1 loss to the Pirates, covering 3.1 innings and allowing four earned runs. He'll be ready to go Wednesday on the standard four days' rest, but Tidwell's body of work over a small sample of action in the big leagues won't inspire much confidence in his fantasy prospects. Through three appearances (two starts) with New York this season, Tidwell has turned in a 10.13 ERA, 2.44 WHIP and 7:8 K:BB over 10.2 innings. He'll likely be headed back to Syracuse as soon as Sean Manaea (elbow) is cleared to return from the 60-day injured list.

JUNE 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Works in relief Friday Tidwell coughed up four earned runs on five hits and two walks over 3.1 innings of relief in Friday's 9-1 loss to the Pirates. He struck out one.

Impact Tidwell endured a rough long-relief appearance, with most of the damage coming off a Bryan Reynolds three-run shot in the sixth inning. The 24-year-old remains a candidate to replace Griffin Canning (Achilles) in the rotation, but with an off day Monday, the Mets won't need a fifth starter until next weekend. Tidwell also has a brutal 10.13 ERA and 8:7 K:BB in 10.2 big-league innings this season and hasn't been dominant at Triple-A Syracuse this season, so it's possible that the Mets turn to another prospect such as Nolan McLean or Jonah Tong to plug the rotation hole until Sean Manaea (elbow) is ready to return from the 60-day injured list.
