Eduardo Valencia - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Tallies three hits in win Valencia went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Rockies.

Impact Valencia isn't seeing everyday playing time as the backup to Dillon Dingler behind the plate, but he's performing well when given the opportunity. The 26-year-old rookie is slashing .320/.340/.598 with six home runs and 18 RBI across 97 at-bats so far this season. It will be interesting to see what Valencia's role will be in 2027, as it appears he can hit at the MLB level, but the 27-year-old Dingler also looks to be part of Detroit's long-term plans.

Sitting after three straight starts Valencia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Valencia had started in each of the last three games -- all against left-handed pitchers -- and went a collective 5-for-11 with two home runs, a double and four RBI, but he'll head to the bench against White Sox righty Sean Burke in the series finale. The Tigers haven't yet cleared the way for Valencia to receive a full run of at-bats against right-handed pitching, but with a 1.291 OPS through his first 54 plate appearances in the majors, it wouldn't be a surprise if he soon gets a look in a near-everyday role.

Pops another home run Saturday Valencia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two total RBI in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox.

Impact While he's stuck behind Dillon Dingler on the depth chart, Valencia has managed to carve out some standalone fantasy value with his bat. The 26-year-old rookie has gone deep twice in his last three games and has six home runs overall through 18 contests to go along with a robust 1.291 OPS. Dingler has been excellent in his own right, so Valencia is unlikely to surpass him as Detroit's top catcher, though the Tigers could find more opportunities to get both sluggers into the lineup moving forward, with Valencia a prime candidate to serve as the DH.

Drives in four Valencia went 2-for-5 with two doubles, four RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 11-0 win over the Athletics.

Impact Valencia has gone 9-for-19 with five extra-base hits and eight RBI over five contests since his recall from Triple-A Toledo on Monday. The catcher isn't guaranteed to get a ton of playing time behind Dillon Dingler, but Valencia is at least making a good case for himself. Over a couple of stints in the majors this season, the 26-year-old is batting .452 (14-for-31) with four home runs, three doubles, 11 RBI and nine runs scored across 11 games.
