Can a baseball player be recalled from waivers?
Yes, but based on the type of waivers the player is placed on. There are waivers solely for the purpose of granting a player his unconditional release. These waivers are not revocable and any player placed on these waivers cannot be recalled if they are claimed by another team. If no team claims the player he becomes a free agent. There are waivers for granting a player his outright release. A player cannot be recalled from these waivers if claimed but, if the player is not claimed, the team can assign him to the minor leagues. If the player refuses the assignment he becomes a free agent. There are waivers used for trading players after the MLB trading deadline of each season. A team places a player on these waivers after they have received interest in the player from another team. They hope the team showing the interest is the team that wins the claim so they can make a trade. This trade must be made within two days of the claim and, generally, the player is traded for a minor leaguer or a player to be named later. If the player is claimed by a team that hasn't shown interest in the player, the team may recall the player from waivers. But they can only do this once per season. If the player's team decides to place the player on trade waivers again and any team claims him, they cannot withdraw him a second time and lose him to the claiming team.

If a team picks up a player that was placed on waivers, the player will become a member of the team's system. The team that the player left may have waived him to try to free up some salary cap room or send him down to a minor league team. Once the player goes on waivers, any team may claim him within 48 hours. The team losing the player does not receive compensation. A player can only be waived before being sent to the minor leagues if he has played three seasons after his first NHL contract or 180 NHL games. Should multiple teams claim the player, the team that finished with fewer points during the previous season will get the player. The player will go to the minor league team if he is not claimed by any team.
