Padres manager Craig Stammen said that Matt Waldron has been shut down after having a procedure for an infection in “his rear end.”

Waldron is considered week-to-week, but this procedure will make it far less likely that he can make the starting rotation out of spring training. However, Waldron has zero minor league options, which means he either needs to make the team out of camp or land on the injured list, or else the Padres have to designate him for assignment.
