"Valdez hit .209/.294/.363 across 31 games before sustaining a season-ending dislocation of his left shoulder, which required surgery. He is healthy but no longer had much of a path to playing time on the Pittsburgh infield."
"The 27-year-old Valdez owns a .230/.288/.392 batting line in a little less than 500 MLB plate appearances. He didn't hit during Spring Training and is out to an 0-10 start with five punchouts through four Triple-A games."
Enmanuel Valdez was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis after clearing waivers. He was designated for assignment when Konnor Griffin was called up. Valdez had been acquired from Boston and served as Pittsburgh's primary first baseman for a month. He hit .209/.294/.363 in 31 games before a shoulder injury ended his season. With established players at first and second base, Valdez's path to playing time diminished. He has a .230/.288/.392 career batting line and is currently struggling in Triple-A, aiming to regain form.
