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

EDGE Analysis

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 acquired from the Mets last July but never saw big-league action for the Giants, missing 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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

Tidwell was acquired from the Mets at the trade deadline in the deal that sent Tyler 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.

The Giants acquired Tidwell, outfielder Drew Gilbert and right-hander Jose Butto from the Mets on Wednesday in exchange for right-hander Tyler Rogers, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Mets recalled Tidwell from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Tidwell takes the roster spot of Griffin Canning, who's been diagnosed with a ruptured left Achilles tendon and placed on the 60-day injured list. Tidwell appears to be the likeliest option to replace Canning in the rotation until the Mets get one or more of their other injured starters back. Tidwell has made two starts this season, posting a 9.82 ERA and 6:6 K:BB across 7.1 innings of work.
