The Toronto Blue Jays pitching staff has already gone through a lot of turmoil and injuries this spring.

But, luckily, it seems that a pair of hurlers are progressing well in their recovery.

According to comments made by Blue Jays manager John Schneider, via a post on "X" from Sportsnet reporter David Singh, left-handed pitcher Ricky Tiedemann has started to throw Tuesday after he was shut down in late February due to elbow soreness.

Right-handed pitcher Yimi Garcia is also making "good progress" from offseason surgery to clean up scar tissue in his throwing elbow.

Tiedemann has been considered one of the best pitching and overall prospects in Toronto's farm system but has been plagued with injuries in his career.

He was limited to just eight starts in 2024 and missed all of 2025 after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

Tiedemann's last season with double-digit starts was in 2023. He posted a 3.68 ERA and struck out 82 batters in 44 innings pitched across 15 starts in rookie ball, Single-A, Double-A and Triple-A. He dealt with shoulder soreness and a biceps strain that limited him that year.

Tiedemann is yet to make more than 18 starts in a single season since he was picked in the third round of the 2021 MLB Draft.

Tiedemann was optioned to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons on Sunday.

Garcia, a veteran right-hander, has also dealt with injuries over the last several seasons.

Garcia has been with Toronto for the better part of four seasons. He signed with the team Dec. 1, 2021. He had a brief stint with the Seattle Mariners in 2024 after the M's acquired him in a trade July 26, 2024. He signed back with the Blue Jays ahead of the 2025 season.

Over the last four seasons, Garcia has dealt with a left back strain, right elbow neuritis, right elbow inflammation, right shoulder impingement, a left ankle strain and his aforementioned surgery.

When he's been on the field, Garcia has been an effective high-leverage reliever for the Blue Jays.

Over the last four years, Garcia has posted a 3.49 ERA and has fanned 204 batters across 178 innings pitched in 185 appearances.

Garcia has already stated that he's unlikely to begin the season healthy. He's currently throwing up to 120 feet in his ramp up from surgery. He's set to earn $7.5 million this season and will be a free agent after.
