"The last time Ken Waldichuk pitched at the major league level was all the way back in 2023, which is when the team was still actually in Oakland. Waldichuk finished with an ERA of 5.36 (130 ERA-) and a FIP of 5.30 (128 FIP-) across 35 appearances (22 starts) and 141 innings pitched.

Atlanta claimed left-hander Ken Waldichuk off waivers from the Oakland/Sacramento A's organization. Waldichuk last pitched in the majors in 2023, posting a 5.36 ERA and 5.30 FIP across 35 appearances (22 starts) and 141 innings, and he owns a 5.28 ERA and 5.10 FIP for his big league career. Tommy John surgery in May 2024 sidelined him through the remainder of that season and part of 2025. He threw 51 innings (16 appearances, 15 starts) at Triple-A Las Vegas in 2025 with an 8.65 ERA and 7.30 FIP. The Braves designated Vidal Bruján for assignment; Bruján totaled 24 games, 47 plate appearances, a .268/.362/.317 slash, .311 wOBA and 98 wRC+.
