Valbuena started at third and went 1-for-3 with a pair of walks, an RBI and two runs scored in a 12-6 win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
There was a question regarding which of Valbuena or C.J. Cron would get the shaft when Yunel Escobar returned from the disabled list; so far it has been neither, as the former has slid over to third or been deployed as the DH over the team's last seven games. Even with semi-regular playing time, the 31-year-old hasn't been doing much this season (.179/.298/.283), limiting his fantasy value to the deepest of leagues.
