The Toronto Blue Jays will face the Kansas City Royals for the second game of their three-game series on Saturday. After defeating the Royals by a 9-2 final in their last game, Toronto will be looking to stay hot and pick up another victory.
As the Blue Jays prepare for their Saturday game against the Royals, they have now quickly promoted one of their young pitchers from Triple-A.

The Blue Jays have announced that they have promoted pitcher Ricky Tiedemann to their major league roster. In addition, they shared that pitcher Jameson Taillon has been placed back on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow inflammation.
Tiedemann certainly landed this latest call-up very quickly, as he was just assigned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday. Now, one day later, he is right back on Toronto's roster and will be looking to make an impact.

Tiedemann has made his first two career MLB appearances this season with the Blue Jays, where he has a 0-0 record, a 3.38 ERA, and two strikeouts. During his most recent appearance on Sep. 1 against the Cleveland Guardians , he did not allow a run and threw two walks in one inning pitched.
Tiedemann has spent most of this season in the minors. In 11 minor league games this season, he has a 0-1 record, a 3.75 ERA, and 17 strikeouts. Overall, he has been solid in the minors and will now be aiming to make a difference for Toronto after landing this latest call-up as they push for a playoff spot.
