Tiedemann has spent virtually all of 2025 rehabbing from Tommy John Surgery. The recovery time for such an injury is usually 10-14 months.
After being drafted in 2021, Tiedemann got off to a great start with the Vancouver Canadians, posting a 2.39 ERA and 2.92 FIP in 37.2 innings pitched, with a 36 K% and an 8 BB%.

The injury troubles started in 2023 and carried into 2024. After being pulled from a July 10th start last year, he ended up going under the knife as has been recovering ever since.
Tiedemann started the year ranked number two, just behind shortstop Arjun Nimmala, and ahead of Orelvis Martinez, Jake Bloss, and Trey Yesavage. Bloss is now hurt and his recovery will take him into next season. Nimmala had an up-and-down season, and Martinez was recently DFA'd by the organization.
If Tiedemann can stay healthy, he can be an X-Factor for this franchise. Let's hope his injury troubles are behind him.
