Anthony Maldonado - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Claimed off waivers by Athletics The Athletics claimed Maldonado off waivers from the Marlins on Monday.

Impact Maldonado struggled during his time in the majors with the Marlins in 2024, posting a 5.68 ERA and 11:7 K:BB over 19 innings. However, he boasts a 32.6 percent strikeout rate in the minors and is under team control for multiple seasons, so it could be a shrewd waiver claim by the Athletics.

Impact Maldonado appeared in three games for the Marlins after being recalled from Triple-A on Tuesday, but he'll now be sent back to the minors after surrendering three runs in one inning during Friday's blowout loss to the Phillies.

Back in Triple-A The Marlins optioned Maldonado to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

Impact In a weak and shallow Marlins farm system, Maldonado is one of the few fantasy-relevant prospects, albeit for deeper leagues. He had a 3.75 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, seven strikeouts and one save in 12 innings with the big club. Maldonado threw his mid-80s slider two-thirds of the time and his 93 mile-per-hour fastball just over 30 percent of the time while in the majors.

Impact Maldonado had been gaining momentum for a potential promotion to the big leagues after logging a 2.35 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 50:11 K:BB in 30.2 innings out of the bullpen with Jacksonville, but his move to the IL will at least temporarily push back his timeline for a call-up.
