The Toronto Blue Jays have lost right-hander Matt Waldron to the Washington Nationals after he was claimed off waivers. Waldron, the only active knuckleballer in MLB, had a brief stint with Toronto, making only four appearances and posting a 7.54 ERA. His departure follows a pattern of rapid roster changes, as he had been acquired by the Blue Jays earlier this month after being designated for assignment by the San Diego Padres.
