Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Waldichuk was slated to begin the season on the 60-day IL as he was still recovering from a Tenex procedure and PRP injection on his left UCL and flexor tendon performed in late October 2023. Unfortunately, Waldichuk suffered a setback in late April, resulting in Tommy John surgery and an internal brace procedure. The southpaw hopes to return sometime in the second half. Historically, command and control are slow to return after surgery of this nature, and those are Waldichuk's main pitfalls. The Athletics fortified their rotation this offseason, so there is a good chance Waldichuk spends most of the second half in the minors. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Athletics in March of 2025.
Reaches third inning in rehab start
Waldichuk (elbow) gave up two runs (one earned) on one hit and two walks while striking out one batter over 2.1 innings in his rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Las Vegas.
Analysis
After tossing three shutout innings in his first rehab outing with Single-A Stockton on June 22, Waldichuk moved up to Triple-A for his second appearance. Though he wasn't nearly as efficient Saturday as he had been in his previous outing, Waldichuk pushed up his pitch count from 42 to 51. The Athletics appear prepared to let Waldichuk get stretched out for a starting role during his rehab assignment, but his performance will likely determine whether he enters the big-league rotation once he's activated from the 60-day injured list. Waldichuk has been on the shelf all season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent last May.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Waldichuk's first full season in the majors was largely forgettable, as he finished with a 5.36 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 132:71 K:BB across 141 innings. The 26-year-old lefty primarily worked as a starter but also operated behind an opener (22 starts in 36 appearances). His first 10 outings of the season were a disaster with 40 earned runs allowed in 48.2 frames, but he pitched much better the rest of the way and had a 3.42 ERA in his final 10 outings, though he also had a 4.74 FIP. Waldichuk had a 1.5 HR/9 for the season and a still-high 1.4 mark down the stretch, which was accompanied by a total walk rate of 11.1 percent. He doesn't have an established floor and it was revealed this offseason that he has a UCL sprain and flexor strain, so he needs to show he's healthy in the spring to be mildly appealing as a home streamer in the deepest of leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could re-enter rotation
According to Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle, Waldichuk could be re-inserted into Oakland's rotation as a sixth starter during the team's upcoming road trip, which begins Friday and runs through June 11.
Analysis
The left-hander worked as an opener last weekend and was used out of the bullpen Wednesday, but he could soon be back in the rotation. Waldichuk pitched just one frame in both of those outings and topped out at 23 pitches, so he could have some workload limitations if asked to start again. Regardless, the 25-year-old isn't worth fantasy consideration with a 7.46 ERA and 49:32 K:BB across 50.2 innings this year.
