Manager Craig Stammen indicated that Waldron has been hospitalized but is expected to be discharged soon, although his recovery will determine his availability moving forward. The 29-year-old knuckleballer has made 36 appearances for San Diego since being drafted in 2019 and was showing promise in spring training. Stammen expressed disappointment over the setback while emphasizing the team’s commitment to Waldron’s rehabilitation.
