    Matt Waldron allowed two runs on six hits in six innings for Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.
    That’s now back-to-back strong outings for Waldron since being sent back down to Triple-A at the beginning of the month. He walked three and struck out three on the day, so it wasn’t dominant, but we saw last season how impactful the 28-year-old can be when his knuckleball is dancing, so it might make sense for the Padres to give him another shot.

    Matt Waldron threw seven shutout innings for Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
    He allowed just four hits and one walk while striking out eight. The 28-year-old was given only one start with the Padres after coming off the IL with an oblique strain. His command was shaky in that one start, but that can happen with a knuckleballer. He deserves another shot.

    Padres optioned RHP Matt Waldron to Triple-A El Paso.
    Waldron struggled during Monday’s start with six walks, and the Padres are calling up intriguing relief prospect Eduarniel Nuñez to take his place on the roster. It’s possible Waldron could be back making starts this summer, but he’s going to have to show much-improved command for that to take place.
  • SD Relief Pitcher
    The San Diego Union-Tribune’s Kevin Acee reports the Padres are calling up relief prospect Eduarniel Nuñez for Wednesday’s doubleheader.
    Acee adds that Nuñez will receive his first call-up to the big leagues with Matt Waldron being optioned back to the minors after walking six batters during Monday’s start. The 26-year-old reliever has posted a serviceable 2.70 ERA and 49/14 K/BB ratio across 30 innings (25 relief appearances) this season in the upper minors.

    Matt Waldron surrendered four runs over 4 2/3 innings on Monday in a loss to the Phillies.
    Waldron struggled to find the zone in his season debut, handing out a career-high six walks and only recording three strikeouts. He gave up six hits, including a solo homer to Nick Castellanos, and also uncorked three wild pitches. He’s in line to take the ball on Sunday against the Rangers, unless the Padres decided they saw enough in this outing to change their minds.

    Padres recalled RHP Matt Waldron from Triple-A El Paso.
    He’s facing the Phillies tonight. It’ll be the season debut for Waldron, who missed the first two months with an oblique strain. He had a 5.04 ERA and a 31/11 K/BB over 30 1/3 innings in eight minor league starts. Waldron threw 146 2/3 innings for the Padres last season and had a 4.91 ERA.

    Matt Waldron will start on Monday against the Phillies.
    Waldron will be making his season debut on Monday after spending the last few weeks at Triple-A El Paso after wrapping up a rehab assignment. The 28-year-old knuckleballer hit the shelf at the end of spring training with an oblique strain. There’s some streaming appeal here in deeper fantasy formats based on his track record in the big leagues, but he’s not a definite must-start option for fantasy managers. We’re recommending a wait-and-see approach for now.

    Matt Waldron allowed two runs on four hits in five innings for Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.
    The knuckleballer also struck out four and walked three on the day. He was up to 87 pitches on the day and figures to be inching closer to his return to the Padres’ rotation. That would mean Ryan Bergert or Stephen Kolek will be removed from the rotation soon.

    Padres activated RHP Matt Waldron from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A El Paso.
    This actually happened last week, but we missed it. Waldron, who had a 4.91 ERA in 146 2/3 innings for the Padres last year, had been on the IL since the beginning of the season with an oblique strain. He’s allowed five earned runs over nine innings since rejoining El Paso on a rehab assignment.

    Padres transferred RHP Matt Waldron to the 60-day injured list.
    The Padres needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster to promote Tyler Wade on Friday which forced them to move Waldron to the 60-day IL. The expectation had originally been that the knuckleballer could be ready to return from his oblique injury before the end of April, but now he won’t be eligible to return until the end of May at the earliest.
