The Athletics have designated left-hander Ken Waldichuk for assignment to make room for newly acquired infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil. Waldichuk, a former Yankees prospect, recorded a 5.36 ERA over 141 innings in 2023 and has been recovering from Tommy John surgery. If he passes through waivers unclaimed, he may return to the A’s without taking a roster spot. His potential as a reclamation project could attract teams seeking pitching depth.
