Orioles recalled 3B Danny Valencia from Triple-A Norfolk.

Orioles optioned 3B Danny Valencia to Triple-A Norfolk.

Despite plenty of big league experience, Valencia didn't have much of a shot at a bench spot. He'll provide depth at Triple-A while Manny Machado handles the hot corner.

Danny Valencia is dealing with tendonitis in his knee.

An MRI ruled out structural damage, but the Orioles will likely continue to rest him for precautionary reasons. Valencia, who was acquired from the Red Sox this offseason, is competing for an Opening Day bench spot.

Orioles acquired 3B Danny Valencia from the Red Sox for cash considerations.

Valencia was just designated for assignment by the Red Sox last week. The 28-year-old was terrible at the major league level this past year, batting just .188/.199/.299 with a 38/3 K/BB ratio in 161 plate appearances, but the O's will likely give him a chance to win a job as a backup third baseman and right-handed bat off the bench.

Red Sox designated 3B Danny Valencia for assignment.

Valencia hit poorly in his time with the Twins and Red Sox in 2012, batting an ugly .188/.199/.299. He'll likely have to catch on with a minor league deal somewhere.

Danny Valencia smashed a two-run homer in an extra-inning loss to the Orioles on Saturday afternoon.

He finished the game 1-for-5. His two-run shot off Randy Wolf in the fourth inning tied the game at 3-3. Valencia is still hitting a very disappointing .194 with three homers and 20 RBI in 139 at-bats on the season, and should remain un-owned in all but the deepest of AL-only formats.

Red Sox recalled 3B Danny Valencia from Triple-A Pawtucket.

It's a move that was anticipated. Valencia is hitting a paltry .194 over 134 at-bats on the season and is unlikely to see much playing time down the stretch. He can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.
