Ricky Tiedemann and Ryan Jennings hit the injured list as the Blue Jays cautiously protect their future stars.
The news of another medical setback for our top pitching prospects is definitely a bitter pill to swallow.
Every single loyal fan felt a familiar knot in their stomach when the latest minor league transaction log dropped this morning.
Seeing our young and promising arms abruptly shut down is never the update we want to read right now.
Both talented pitchers are officially heading to the 7-day injured list to aggressively rest their precious throwing arms.

Ricky Tiedemann (Age 23, Drafted Round 3, 2021 by Toronto Blue Jays) simply cannot catch a lucky break.
Recovering from major Tommy John surgery is a highly grueling physical process that demands absolute patience from everyone involved.
The medical staff is playing it safe to preserve true greatness.
Honestly, shutting him down immediately is so much better than risking a catastrophic injury down the final stretch.
He currently possesses a legendary slider and a fastball that completely dominates professional hitters when he is fully healthy.
The entire organization desperately wants him pitching under the bright lights at the Rogers Centre this coming October.
Rushing a prized asset back to the mound too quickly is a mistake the current front office refuses to make.
Ryan Jennings (Age 26, Drafted Round 4, 2022 by Toronto Blue Jays) is also taking a highly necessary pause.
He battled a frustrating elbow injury in the past and knows exactly how to bounce back even stronger.
Developing elite starting pitching always requires surviving these annoying bumps in the long minor league development road.
Toronto has successfully built incredible rotational depth, giving these prized kids all the time they need to heal perfectly.
We have to trust the comprehensive rehabilitation program that has successfully saved many pitching careers in recent years.
A minor setback in the spring often sets the perfect stage for a spectacular comeback story in September.
Taking a short week off to calm down lingering elbow soreness is just smart asset management from the executives.
Keep the absolute faith, because these highly resilient arms will be firing fastballs again very soon.
