That operation will likely cost Tidwell his 2027 season, although that hasn’t been officially announced yet. There were some solid moments for the 25-year-old in 2026, and assuming everything goes well, he should compete for a rotation spot in 2028.
Tidwell is probably going to have surgery on his damaged UCL, costing him all of next year.
It’s potentially another significant hit to San Francisco’s long-term pitching depth as Tidwell told reporters that initial imaging revealed a high-grade UCL sprain. He’ll undergo further evaluation and receive additional medical opinions to determine whether he’ll require elbow surgery. There’s a strong possibility he winds up missing a significant portion, if not all, of next season, if he ends up needing Tommy John surgery. There should be a definitive update on his status in the coming weeks.
Tidwell allowed one run in 3 1/3 innings and struck out four before exiting. He’ll likely join 23 other Giants on the injured list prior to Tuesday’s game.
Tidwell’s velocity was down some tonight and he allowed eight hard-hit balls while also throwing first-pitch strikes to just nine of 25 batters. Still, he was quite effective anyway, and the win gives him a 1-2 record and a 4.56 ERA through eight starts and seven relief appearances. He’s lined up to face the Twins on Monday.
Tidwell struck out two in the 78-pitch outing, raising his ERA to 4.82. The 25-year-old righty began the season in the Giants’ bullpen, but he has now made seven starts since the trade deadline. He was acquired from the Mets last summer as part of the return for Tyler Rogers. Tidwell will remain an unexciting fantasy option in his next start, a rematch against the Cardinals.
Tidwell allowed two runs in the first inning on a bases-loaded walk and a bases-loaded hit by pitch. He remained walk-prone, but allowed just two hits and held the Pirates to six hard-hit balls, the most dangerous of which was a Bryan Reynolds’ warning-track flyout. Over his last seven appearances (six starts) Tidwell has thrown 32 2/3 innings with a 5.23 ERA. He’s in line to take on the Cardinals next week but is not a recommended start.
Tidwell couldn’t keep the ball in the park, and allowed three homers in the contest, including a leadoff roundtripper from Lars Nootbaar. The right-hander was coming off 5 2/3 scoreless innings in his previous outing against the Red Sox, but Friday was an unfortunate example of what can happen when Tidwell doesn’t have his best command. He’ll try to rebound next week against the Pirates in Pittsburgh.
Tidwell was outstanding on Saturday, keeping the Red Sox off the board as he pitched into the sixth. He scattered only three hits and two walks while collecting a career-high seven strikeouts. The bullpen would waste Tidwell’s strong performance, giving up three runs to blow the lead in the ninth. The 25-year-old right-hander will take a 3.58 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and a 27/12 K/BB ratio across 32 2/3 innings into a start against the Diamondbacks in San Francisco on Friday.
Tidwell, 25, allowed only three hits, but he walked five and only whiffed a single hitter in an ugly outing for the right-hander. He had walked just four hitters in his previous four appearances, so this appears to just be a one-off of bad control for Tidwell. He’ll get a chance to rebound in Boston next weekend.
Tidwell generated 16 whiffs and struck out six, so that’s pretty good. He was probably fortunate to allow only three singles and a double, considering that he gave up nine hard-hit balls. Yordan Alvarez actually hit three balls in excess of 109 mph against him. Still, he made it work. Tidwell has allowed three runs in 10 2/3 innings in his two starts for the Giants. He could be of use in NL-only leagues going forward, and he’s a streaming option in shallower formats with a home start against the Rockies on deck.
Tidwell surrendered a pair of runs in the first inning on a walk and three hits. He then settled in nicely, giving the Giants four more scoreless innings, scattering three more hits the rest of the way while striking out three batters. The 25-year-old right-hander has a 3.18 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and a 13/4 K/BB ratio across 17 innings. He’ll take on the Astros in San Francisco next Monday.
Tidwell returns to the big leagues for the first time since late April after San Francisco moved on from several impending free agents at the trade deadline. He’ll operate in a low-leverage multi-inning role out of the bullpen.
Tidwell returns to the minors after posting a respectable 3.00 ERA and 10/3 K/BB ratio across 12 innings over eight appearances this season. It appears that the Giants want the 24-year-old to begin stretching out to be a starting pitcher. With both Adrian Houser and Tyler Mahle not really delivering after signing with the Giants this offseason, it’s possible Tidwell can put himself in the mix for a rotation spot this summer.
The Giants’ bullpen usage was a bit curious in this one as closer Ryan Walker was brought in to relieve Robbie Ray in the sixth inning. Tidwell then took over in the seventh with a four-run advantage and all he did was allow two hits the rest of the way while striking out a pair. He’s not suddenly going to usurp the closer’s role, so there’s no need for fantasy managers to rush to the waiver wire to pick him up.
Tidwell, 24, was knocked around during Cactus League play, registering a 9.45 ERA, 2.25 WHIP and a 13/6 K/BB ratio across 6 2/3 innings of work. He’ll function in a middle relief role for the Giants.
Given that Tidwell was facing an All-Star team, he has nothing to be embarrassed about today. He gave up two homers and five other hard-hit balls, but he struck out Roman Anthony and Gunnar Henderson on his way to finishing up with a 33% CSW. Tidwell is in the mix with Hayden Birdsong, Carson Whisenhunt and others to be the first alternate into the Giants rotation.
On the plus side, the 24-year-old right-hander struck out two in the contest and didn’t issue a free pass. He retired the side in order in the first inning, but ran into trouble in the second as Jordan Beck drew a leadoff walk, Kyle Karros followed with an RBI triple and Charlie Condon plated him with an RBI single. Tidwell regained his composure to retire the next three in order, but the damage had been done. He’s competing with Landen Roupp, Carson Whisenhunt and Hayden Birdsong for the final spot in the Giants’ Opening Day rotation.
