Impact Valdez steps in the position that has been primarily manned by Christian Arroyo, who was placed on the injured list following Saturday's game with a hamstring injury.

The 24-year-old infielder has hit safely in eight of 10 games since being called up from Triple-A Worcester, going 12-for-35 with a home run, three doubles, six RBI, three steals and four runs scored in his introduction to the majors.
