Quality start in 10th loss Valdez (8-10) took the loss against the Dodgers on Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out five.

Impact Valdez held his own versus a vaunted lineup, overcoming three extra-base hits (one home run) for a quality start. The southpaw is putting together a solid run on the mound as of late, either submitting a quality start or pitching at least five innings while yielding two runs or fewer in five of his last seven appearances. He'll carry a 4.36 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 116:57 K:BB over 150.2 innings into his next scheduled outing in Cleveland.

Manages quality start in ninth loss Valdez (8-9) took the loss against the Rays on Monday, allowing four runs (three earned) on eight hits and two walks in six innings. He failed to record a strikeout.

Impact A fielding error by Brett Callahan kept an earned run off Valdez's ledger, so Monday's outing ultimately goes down as a quality start. The southpaw still didn't have his best stuff on the mound, turning in just the second start of his career (192 starts) where he didn't register a punchout. Valdez is set to wrap up a two-start week this weekend against a vaunted Dodgers lineup, carrying a shaky 4.35 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 111:56 K:BB over 144.2 innings for the year.

Next start pushed to Monday Valdez is slated to make his next start Monday versus the Rays in Detroit, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact After earning a win and giving up five runs (four earned) across 5.2 innings this past Monday in Pittsburgh, Valdez appeared on track to receive his second start of the week Sunday in Kansas City. Instead, the Tigers will build in an extra day of rest for Valdez and the other members of the rotation by calling up lefty Andrew Sears from Triple-A Toledo to pitch in bulk relief behind righty Jacob Waguespack during the series finale versus the Royals. Valdez will now line up for a double dip during the upcoming week, with his second start projected to fall Aug. 30 versus the Dodgers at Comerica Park.

Crumbles in sixth inning Valdez (8-8) earned the win against the Pirates on Monday, allowing five runs (four earned) on five hits and four walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

Impact Valdez was cruising along over four scoreless innings initially, but Pittsburgh got to him for four of his five runs allowed in the sixth inning. The left-hander continues to put forth an up-and-down debut season with the Tigers, conceding four earned runs in back-to-back outings to follow up a pair of quality starts to begin August. Valdez is set to bring a 4.35 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 111:54 K:BB over 138.2 innings into a soft matchup against the lowly Royals in Kansas City.
