The Rockies reassigned Valdez to Triple-A Albuquerque on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Valdez, who logged a 4.41 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 16.1 innings of relief at the big-league level in Boston in 2022, joined the Rockies on a minor-league deal over the winter and was expected to compete for a spot in the Opening Day bullpen. The 31-year-old was ultimately unsuccessful in his bid for a roster spot after he was lit up over his 9.2 innings in Cactus League action, giving up 10 earned runs on 17 hits and four walks.

Valdez signed a minor-league contract with the Rockies on Dec. 15 and is competing for a spot in Coloardo's Opening Day bullpen.

EDGE Analysis

Though he doesn't possess a spot on the Rockies' 40-man roster, the 31-year-old right-hander should have a decent chance of breaking camp with the big club, given his past experience in the big leagues as well as the lackluster competition he faces for a bullpen role. Over his 13 appearances in the majors with Boston a season ago, Valdez logged a 4.41 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB in 16.1 innings.

Valdez cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Valdez lost his spot on Seattle's 40-man roster Friday, but he'll remain in the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. The right-hander made 13 appearances for the Red Sox earlier this year and posted a 4.41 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 16.1 innings.

Valdez was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Friday, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Brian O'Keefe joining the 40-man roster to fill in for Curt Casali (paternity), Valdez is left as the Mariners' roster casualty. Valdez was claimed off waivers from Boston in July, and he has since recorded a 4.22 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in Triple-A Tacoma. Should he clear waivers, he will likely remain with the organization.

EDGE Analysis

Valdez was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Tuesday but will land a spot on Seattle's 40-man roster. He's posted a 4.41 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 16.1 innings over 13 relief appearances in the majors this year but will report to Triple-A Tacoma for now.

The Red Sox designated Valdez for assignment Tuesday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move clears a 40-man roster spot for Josh Winckowski to return from the COVID-19 list. Valdez, who has a 4.41 ERA in 16.1 innings this season, could rejoin the Red Sox in his typical mop-up role at some point.

Valdez was optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Valdez spent nearly a week in the major-league bullpen and allowed three runs (zero earned) on four hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout in three innings over two appearances. He'll head back to the minors after Garrett Whitlock (hip) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Valdez was called up by the Red Sox on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Valdez has already spent four separate stints in the big-league bullpen this season. He hasn't pitched well enough to stick around, recording a 5.40 ERA across 13.1 innings of work. He'll likely handle low-leverage innings during his time with the team.

The Red Sox optioned Valdez to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Valdez will head back to Worcester one day after his call-up from Triple-A. He'll be replaced on the 26-man active roster by Connor Seabold, who was recalled in advance of his scheduled start Sunday against the Cubs.

Valdez was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Rich Hill (knee) landing on the injured list, Valdez will return to provide some extra depth out of the bullpen. Valdez has bounced between levels several times already this season, posting a 5.40 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in his 11 appearances with the big-league team. He could be sent down again next week when the Red Sox add a starter to replace Hill in the rotation.
