Last night, there were rumors that the Blue Jays were going to call up Ricky Tiedemann.

For those who don't know him, he's a prospect for the club (once Toronto's No. 1 prospect) who has been hampered by injuries—including Tommy John surgery.

But the left-handed pitcher, who is currently healthy, has an impressive arsenal. When he's able to stay on the mound, he can make a difference.

And now the Blue Jays have officially recalled the pitcher. Chase Lee is making way for him by heading to Buffalo.

This gives the Blue Jays one more option for facing the Yankees' left-handed hitters. And it adds another fresh arm to a bullpen rotation.

In short, it was the right time for the Blue Jays—who are one game away from the playoffs—to call up a player brimming with potential.

It's worth noting that on the offensive side, outfielder Daz Cameron (who has 160 games of Major League experience since 2020) is in town.

However, he has not been activated. To do so, the team would need a spot on the 40-man roster.

It's likely he's here in case the Blue Jays need to place Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on the injured list.

Junior is being evaluated (for a concussion) after taking a knee to the head yesterday. He won't be in the starting lineup today.
