Blade Tidwell - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

UCL surgery scheduled Tidwell will undergo a right elbow UCL repair in mid-October, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury Newsreports.

Impact Surgery for the right-hander was the expected outcome, and now it has officially been scheduled. If Tidwell winds up needing a full Tommy John surgery -- which is likely since he's dealing with a high-grade tear -- he'll be sidelined until the 2028 season.

Why Blade Tidwell's Impending Surgery Brutal Ending for Young Star's Season It’s what was expected. It still stings, but the San Francisco Giants and Blade Tidwell saw it coming.

Moves to 60-day IL The Giants transferred Tidwell (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Tidwell is likely to require Tommy John surgery after suffering a high-grade UCL sprain during his last outing Monday, so the Giants will stash him away on the 60-day IL for the rest of the season. His 40-man roster spot will go to Camilo Doval, who was claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh on Thursday.

Impact Tidwell was placed on the injured list Tuesday due to a high-grade UCL sprain, and if he undergoes surgery to address the issue, he would be forced to miss all of 2027 while joining Hayden Birdsong, Trevor McDonald and Carson Whisenhunt on the list of Giants pitchers working their way back from a Tommy John procedure. Tidwell hasn't officially decided to go under the knife just yet, but chances are that he won't be available to pitch next season.

Diagnosed with UCL sprain The Giants placed Tidwell on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a high-grade UCL sprain, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Tidwell made an early exit from what will be his final start of 2026 on Monday after injuring his elbow. He is still in the process of exploring all of his options, but there is a chance the 25-year-old righty undergoes Tommy John surgery, which would almost certainly rule him out for the entire 2027 campaign as well.

Nursing elbow issue Tidwell left Monday's game against the Twins due to right elbow discomfort, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Tidwell is expected to undergo further evaluation Tuesday morning to determine the extent of the injury. The Giants have already been eliminated from postseason contention, making it unlikely that the club rushes the right-hander back for one more start this season.

Impact Tidwell missed badly on his final pitch of the game in the top half of the fourth inning, prompting concern from the San Francisco dugout. He walked off the field with the team trainer after a brief evaluation. Tristan Beck was called upon in relief following Tidwell's departure.

Records quality start in win Tidwell (1-2) earned the win after allowing two runs on three hits and one walk over 6.2 innings against St. Louis on Tuesday. He struck out four.

Impact Tidwell recorded his first quality start of the season after allowing just two runs over 6.2 innings to St. Louis on Tuesday. The right-hander allowed just three hits, with one being a solo homer by Alec Burleson in the first inning. This year, the 25-year-old has posted a 4.56 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 42:21 K:BB over 53.1 innings. Tidwell is slated to make his next start Monday against Minnesota.

Taken off hook for loss Wednesday Tidwell didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Cardinals, surrendering five runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks over four-plus innings. He struck...

Impact The right-hander seemed headed for his third straight loss when he got chased from the mound after putting the first three batters aboard in the fifth inning, but the Giants bullpen escaped the jam with minimal damage, and their offense then put together a six-run rally in the eighth. Tidwell has been alternating good starts with bad ones of late, and over his last six outings he's wobbled to a 5.76 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 25:16 K:BB through 29.2 innings. He'll try to maintain that pattern with a better performance in his next start, which is set to come on the road next week in a rematch with the Cards.

Falls to Pirates Tidwell (0-2) took the loss Thursday against Pittsburgh, allowing two runs on two hits and five walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Impact Tidwell struggled with his command Thursday, throwing just 49 of his 95 pitches for strikes while issuing five walks, matching a season high. The 25-year-old Tidwell has dropped back-to-back starts, while giving up 14 runs over 20 innings in his last four outings. Overall, his ERA sits at 4.43 across 42.2 innings this season with a 1.24 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB. Tidwell's currently in line to face the Cardinals at home his next time out.

SEPTEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Tagged for three homers Tidwell (0-1) allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Impact Tidwell hadn't given up multiple homers in an outing this season until this start, as all of Lars Nootbaar, Corbin Carroll and Tim Tawa tagged him for a long ball. Those big flies counted for all six runs on Tidwell's line. He's allowed 12 runs over his last 15 innings, but his scoreless start last weekend in Boston offered a glimpse of what he can do when he's on. Tidwell has a 4.54 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 31:13 K:BB over 37.2 innings across 13 games (five starts) this season. The Giants' battered rotation likely means Tidwell is safe in a starting role for the rest of the year, and he's projected to make his next start at Pittsburgh.

Strong start goes unrewarded Tidwell allowed three hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out seven over 5.2 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Red Sox on Saturday.

Impact Tidwell allowed six runs in his last outing, which was by far his worst start of the year. He bounced back well in this road appearance, but the Giants' bullpen couldn't maintain the lead. Tidwell now has a 3.58 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 27:12 K:BB across 32.2 innings through 12 games (four starts) in the majors this season. He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the Diamondbacks.

Walks five in no-decision Tidwell allowed six runs on three hits and five walks while striking out one over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Sunday.

Impact Tidwell threw just 35 of 63 pitches for strikes in this short start. While he wasn't knocked around that much, the walks proved costly. He had allowed just three runs over 10.2 innings across his first two starts of the year, and it's a little discouraging this poor showing came at home. Tidwell has a 4.33 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB across 27 innings over 11 outings (three starts) this year. He's tentatively lined up to make his next start at Boston.

Fares well in no-decision Tidwell allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out six over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Monday.

Impact Tidwell performed well, throwing 62 of 96 pitches for strikes, but he came up an out shy of his first career quality start. He's done well with three runs allowed over 10.2 innings over his first two starts this year, and he'll likely get the chance to end the campaign in the rotation. Overall, he's at a 2.78 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB through 22.2 innings over 10 games (two starts) in the majors. He's projected for a home start versus the Rockies over the weekend.

Handed another start Tidwell is slated to start Monday's game against the Astros in San Francisco.

Impact After dealing away Tyler Mahle and Robbie Ray last week, the Giants had two openings in the rotation, and Tidwell was summoned from Triple-A Sacramento to fill one of those spots. The 25-year-old right-hander acquitted himself well in his first start as a member of the Giants last Tuesday, taking a no-decision on the road against the Rangers while allowing two earned runs on six hits and one walk across five innings. Tidwell will be awarded a second turn through the rotation and will tentatively line up for two starts during the upcoming week, with a home start against the Rockies likely on tap next Sunday.

AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE

No-decision Tuesday vs. Texas Tidwell didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rangers, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk while fanning three across five innings.

Impact Tidwell was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday and did a decent job across the board. He had been stretched out as a starter in Triple-A, and with the Giants dealing Robbie Ray ahead of Monday's deadline, Tidwell could make a case to stay in the rotation in the final two months of the regular season. He has a 4.38 ERA in 16 appearances (15 starts) at Triple-A and a 3.18 ERA in nine contests (one start) at the MLB level in 2026. If he stays in the rotation, his next start would be scheduled for next week at home against the Astros.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Tuesday in Texas Tidwell was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Impact With the trade deadline in the rearview mirror, the Giants have multiple rotation spots to fill and several bullpen spots to fill. Tidwell has a 3.13 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB in 31.2 innings over his last six starts at Triple-A and is confirmed to start Tuesday's game in Texas.

AUGUST 3 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to minors The Giants optioned Tidwell to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.

Impact San Francisco swapped Tidwell out of its bullpen in favor of a fresh arm in right-hander Gregory Santos, who was called up from Sacramento. Tidwell appeared in eight games during his month-long stint in the majors, pitching to a 3.00 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB in 12 innings. The right-hander could get stretched back out for a starting role at Sacramento.
