Impact Salinas was claimed off waivers from the Athletics on Nov. 1, but his tenure with Atlanta will now come to an end after roughly three weeks.

Claimed by Atlanta Atlanta claimed Salinas (shoulder) off waivers from the Athletics on Friday.

Impact Salinas was part of the package of prospects sent by Atlanta to Oakland as part of the Sean Murphy trade. He's now back in his original organization, although Salinas is expected to miss a large chunk of the 2025 campaign after having right shoulder surgery in July. The 23-year-old posted a 4.60 ERA and 50:34 K:BB over 43 innings between Double-A Midland and Triple-A Las Vegas in 2024.

On mend from shoulder surgery Triple-A Las Vegas placed Salinas on its full-season injured list after he underwent surgery on his right shoulder July 24, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Salinas hadn't pitched since May 30 before landing on Las Vegas' 7-day IL with the shoulder injury. He presumably tried the rest-and-rehab route to treat the injury, but after making limited progress over the ensuing two months, he ended up being sent in for surgery. Salinas will miss the rest of the season, and his availability for the 2025 campaign could be in jeopardy as well.

Impact Salinas was able to appear in two contests with Oakland this spring, tossing four scoreless frames, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out five batters. He'll look to impress with the Aviators in order to earn another opportunity with the Athletics down the road.
