Mets Make Blade Tidwell Announcement Ahead of Pirates Series
Mets Make Blade Tidwell Announcement Ahead of Pirates Series originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With Griffin Canning likely heading to the injured list, the New York Mets are turning to their farm system for reinforcements. Advertisement According to Will Sammon of The Athletic, the Mets are expected to call right-hander Blade Tidwell ahead of Friday's series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Tidwell had been scheduled to start Thursday for Triple-A Syracuse, but the game was postponed due to rain. Tidwell, a second-round pick in 2022, will meet the team in Pittsburgh and could slot into the rotation immediately. Additional roster moves could follow, per Sammon. Canning exited Thursday's win over the Atlanta Braves with what the team initially labeled an ankle injury. However, there's growing concern the injury may involve his Achilles tendon. The Mets are awaiting MRI results to determine the severity. Canning exited Thursday's win over the Atlanta Braves with what the team initially labeled an ankle injury.

Blade Tidwell expected to join Mets for Pirates series: report
The Mets are going to look to their farm system to find an arm to replace Griffin Canning. According to The Athletic's Will Sammon, the Mets are expected to call up Blade Tidwell on Friday. Sammon notes that Tidwell was slated to start Thursday's game for Triple-A Syracuse but the game was postponed due to rain. Tidwell will meet the team in Pittsburgh as the Mets get set for a three-game series against the Pirates. There could be other moves coming as well. Advertisement Canning left Thursday's win against the Braves with what the Mets call an ankle injury, but it's suspected the right-hander suffered an Achilles injury and they are just waiting for the results of an MRI to confirm. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said after the game that he's confident the other pitchers in the rotation and in the minors will "step up" in Canning's absence. 'Guys will step up,' he said. 'Our mentality is what do we need to do today. I'm confident in the guys we have in that room. I'm confident that the guys who will come up are going to give us opportunities to win baseball games, and we'll continue to do so.' Tidwell has just two big league starts with the Mets this season. He allowed six runs in 3.2 innings against the Cardinals back on May 4 and then allowed two runs in 3.2 innings in Philadelphia last weekend. In 13 games (11 starts) with Syracuse, Tiwell has pitched to a 4-4 record and a 4.76 ERA but has 73 strikeouts over 62.1 innings pitched.
