Fantasy Impact:
Waldichuk’s nearing 10 months since his May 15, 2024, Tommy John surgery with an internal brace, and this step puts him on pace for a late June or July return—right around the Athletics’ 13-month recovery guess. They’re likely aiming to build him up as a starter during rehab, though a relief role’s possible if the rotation’s set by then. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues might stash him for a midseason boost, depending on his role.
