Blue Jays Designate Matt Waldron for Assignment, Select Brendan Cellucci

The Toronto Blue Jays have made a roster change by designating right-hander Matt Waldron for assignment and selecting the contract of left-hander Brendan Cellucci.

Waldron, who is 29 years old, was claimed off waivers from the San Diego Padres just two weeks prior. During his time with the Blue Jays, he pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing five earned runs. His recent performance, including a 7.54 ERA in 2026, contributed to the decision to move on from him.

Brendan Cellucci, 28, is joining the major league roster for the first time after being a 12th-round pick by the Red Sox in 2019. He has performed well in Triple-A this season, posting a 3.68 ERA over 44 innings. Cellucci will add to the Blue Jays' left-handed relief options, joining Mason Fluharty and Brendon Little.
