Waldron Undergoes Surgery for Infection

San Diego Padres pitcher Matt Waldron underwent surgery for an infection in his rear end, adding to his injury woes from last season.

The 29-year-old knuckleballer has faced significant health challenges, with the recent surgery coming after an oblique issue in spring training limited his performance last season.

Waldron managed only one start in June 2023 before finishing the season in Triple-A, raising concerns about his availability for the upcoming season.
