Blade Tidwell Undergoes MRI for Shoulder Discomfort, Season Potentially Concluded

Giants right-handed prospect Blade Tidwell is undergoing an MRI for shoulder discomfort, raising concerns that his 2025 season might be over. Tidwell, who was next in line to join the Giants' rotation, had been impressive since being acquired in the Tyler Rogers deal, posting a 1.69 ERA with 23 strikeouts in 16 innings across three starts for the Sacramento River Cats. His injury adds to the Giants' growing list of pitching staff setbacks.
