Brandon Valenzuela - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Smacks homer Friday Valenzuela went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's 12-4 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Valenzuela cut the Blue Jays' deficit to 8-4 with a solo home run in the sixth, his eighth long ball of the season. George Springer started in left field Friday, so Valenzuela could see an uptick in plate appearances in the second half of the regular season if he sees more time as the designated hitter or as the catcher in games where Alejandro Kirk serves as the DH instead.

Losing time with Kirk back Valenzuela is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Since being called up from Triple-A Buffalo on April 4, Valenzuela has been a pleasant surprise for the Blue Jays this season, producing a .792 OPS over 149 plate appearances in addition to providing quality defense behind the dish. He's nonetheless expected to be headed for a reduction in playing time moving forward, as the recent return of Alejandro Kirk from the 60-day injured list has bumped Valenzuela down a spot on the depth chart. Valenzuela will sit for the second time in the series while Kirk gets the starting nod behind the dish.
