Waldron will now be looking to make an impact after getting this new opportunity with the Blue Jays. The 6-foot-2 righty struggled this season with the Padres before being claimed by the Blue Jays, as he had a 1-2 record and a 7.16 ERA in 10 appearances for the National League West team.
While Waldron has struggled this season in the majors, he showed promise this campaign with Triple-A El Paso. In eight appearances with the Triple-A team this season, he had a 1.33 ERA to go along with 22 strikeouts. He will now be looking to translate some of that kind of pitching over to the Blue Jays from here.
In 46 career major league games over four seasons, Waldron has recorded a 9-17 record, a 5.19 ERA, and 195 strikeouts. It will be interesting to see if he can elevate his game after being claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays.
