Activated, optioned to Triple-A Waldron (oblique) was activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Waldron has missed the entire 2025 campaign to this point while recovering from a left oblique strain, but he'll now officially be back in action. The right-hander made three appearances with three different levels of San Diego's minor-league system during his rehab assignment, most recently allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out six over four innings with El Paso on Friday. Waldron produced a 4.91 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 133 strikeouts over 27 appearances, including 26 starts, with the Padres in 2024, and he'll likely return to the major-league roster before too long.

Activated, optioned to Triple-A The Padres activated Waldron (oblique) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Waldron had been on the shelf throughout the 2025 campaign while recovering from a left oblique strain, but after completing a rehab assignment, he'll make regular turns out of the El Paso rotation. In his most recent outing for the Triple-A club Friday, Waldron struck out six over four innings but allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits and three walks. The knuckleballer spent most of 2024 in the San Diego rotation, turning in a 4.91 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 133:40 K:BB in 146.2 innings. He could be an option to return to the big-league rotation later on in 2025 if he can find some success with El Paso.

Builds up to 61 pitches in rehab Waldron (oblique) allowed two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four batters across 4.1 innings in his rehab start Sunday with Double-A San Antonio.

Impact Waldron has been on the shelf all season after straining his left oblique while warming up in the bullpen during a Cactus League game in mid-March. He's been steadily building up since beginning his rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on May 15, as he's made his subsequent two starts at San Antonio while tossing two and 4.1 innings. During Sunday's outing, Waldron tossed 61 pitches (37 strikes), but the Padres will likely want to see him move his pitch count up to around 75 during his rehab assignment before bringing him back from the injured list. San Diego could have an opening in the rotation for Waldron once he's activated, as he appears on pace to beat Yu Darvish (elbow) and Michael King (shoulder) back from the IL.

Begins rehab assignment Waldron (oblique) began a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League on Thursday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact Waldron suffered an oblique strain in mid-March but returned to the mound Thursday. He allowed one earned run on two hits and a walk while striking out three across 1.2 frames. Waldron threw a total of 38 pitches, so he'll likely need a few more appearances before being activated.
