Fantasy Impact: Waldron underwent hemorrhoid surgery in late February and is considered week-to-week. He had been competing for a spot in the San Diego Padres rotation, but has just begun playing catch, putting him slightly behind the other candidates. It remains unclear if he will be ready for the start of the regular season.

Matsui (groin) has compiled a 3.86 ERA with 130 strikeouts and 60 walks across 126 regular-season innings over two years with San Diego. He tweaked his left groin last week. (Source: Jeff Sanders)

Fantasy Impact: The injury forced Matsui to withdraw from pitching for Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic. He is currently restricted to flat-ground throwing. Matsui's availability for Opening Day remains in question.
