The San Diego Padres activated right-hander Matt Waldron from the injured list ahead of his season debut Friday on the road against the Los Angeles Angels.
To open a roster spot, right-hander Alek Jacob was optioned to Triple-A El Paso.
Waldron has not pitched this season after undergoing hemorrhoids surgery in late February. He was 0-1 with a 7.71 ERA in one start with San Diego last season after he went 7-11 with a 4.91 ERA in 27 appearances (26 starts) in 2024.
The knuckleballer didn't give up a run in three starts (12 innings) for El Paso, allowing seven hits and a walk while striking out 12.
Jacob, 27, made his lone appearance of the season on Wednesday with two scoreless innings in relief. He is 2-0 with a 3.91 ERA in 40 relief appearances over parts of the past four seasons for San Diego.
