Matt Waldron - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Padres Demote Pitcher, Reinstate Matt Waldron Off Injured List The San Diego Padres have reinstated Matt Waldron while demoting a veteran pitcher in a corresponding move.

JULY 11 • SI.COM

Activated from IL The Padres reinstated Waldron (forearm) from the injured list Saturday.

Impact A forearm strain has kept Waldron on the injured list since mid-May, but he has been playing in rehab games at Triple-A El Paso since June 14. The 29-year-old gave up four earned runs while striking out 10 batters in 15 innings across five appearances during his time in the minors. The Padres don't currently have a spot open for him in the rotation, so he figures to work out of the bullpen as a long reliever for the time being.

Covers four innings in rehab start Waldron (forearm) struck out one batter while allowing one run on eight hits and no walks over four innings in a rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A El Paso.

Impact Making the fourth start of his rehab assignment as he works his way back from a right brachialis strain, Waldron got stretched out to 60 pitches and threw 42 strikes. Waldron is slated to make another start for El Paso on Tuesday, which could set the stage for him to return from the 15-day injured list later this weekend or immediately following the All-Star break. San Diego may not have a spot available in its rotation for Waldron, so he could serve as a long reliever once he's activated.

Makes third rehab appearance Waldron (forearm) struck out four and allowed two earned runs on two hits and four walks across 2.2 innings Thursday in a rehab start with Triple-A El Paso.

Impact Waldron has now made three rehab starts with El Paso and built up to 59 pitches during Thursday's outing. Though the Padres are seemingly letting Waldron get stretched back out as a starter, he may need to show improved results on the farm in order to get a look in the big-league rotation.

Begins rehab assignment Waldron (forearm) made his first rehab appearance with Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, tossing 2.1 scoreless innings.

Impact Waldron breezed through his 2.1 frames on 27 pitches, yielding just one hit. It was Waldron's first outing in exactly one month, as he's working his way back from a right brachialis muscle injury. If the knuckleballer is added back to the major-league roster at the conclusion of his rehab assignment, he is expected to be used in a relief role.
