SF Giants pitching prospect Blade Tidwell was pitching his way into the rotation this year, but that plan could be halted. According to John Shea of The San Francisco Standard, Tidwell is set to undergo an MRI after experiencing a shoulder issue in a recent bullpen session.

Shea adds that Tidwell is not expected to pitch for a while. The regular season for the Sacramento River Cats concludes on September 21, so time could be quickly running out for a return.
There was an opportunity for another pitcher to crack the Giants' rotation, with Landen Roupp's injury and Kai-Wei Teng's struggles.
