Blue Jays DFA Knuckleballer Matt Waldron Two Weeks After Waiver Claim
Toronto moves on from Waldron after a rough audition, placing him on waivers again with a 7.54 ERA in 2026.
The Blue Jays have designated right-hander Matt Waldron for assignment, just two weeks after claiming him off waivers from the Padres. Waldron allowed five earned runs in 4.1 innings during his brief Toronto stint and carries a 7.54 ERA across 2026. He is out of options and will be placed on waivers again; if he clears, he would remain with Toronto as non-roster depth. His knuckleball profile and cheap pre-arb status may attract some interest despite his poor recent results.
