Impact Valdez has already spent four separate stints in the big-league bullpen this season. He hasn't pitched well enough to stick around, recording a 5.40 ERA across 13.1 innings of work. He'll likely handle low-leverage innings during his time with the team.

He could be sent down again next week when the Red Sox add a starter to replace Hill in the rotation.

Makes fourth scoreless appearance Valdez struck out one over 1.1 scoreless relief innings in Monday's 8-3 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Valdez entered with one one and two out in the fifth inning and elicited a strikeout, then hurled a 1-2-3 sixth. It was the fourth scoreless appearance in four outings for the right-hander, who has allowed one hit and one walk while striking out eight in five innings. All four of his outings have come with Boston trailing, and there's no indication he'll be moved into a high-leverage role. Valdez will serve as a multi-inning reliever when needed, as he did 11 times in 28 appearances for the Red Sox in 2021.

Returns from COVID-19 injured list Valdez was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Thursday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Valdez missed much of September due to the virus. While he's now off the injured list, he isn't on the Red Sox's playoff roster, and his 5.85 ERA in 40 innings means he probably won't be added if Boston manages to come back from a 3-2 deficit and make the World Series. Franchy Cordero was designated for assignment to clear space for his return.
