Eligibility
Enmanuel Valdez exited Saturday’s game due to a left thumb contusion.
Fantasy Impact
Valdez is reportedly feeling good, but will not be in the lineup Sunday as originally planned. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
Enmanuel Valdez had a standout performance in Tuesday's game against the Rays, driving in four runs on three hits, including a home run and a double.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his offensive contributions, the Red Sox ultimately fell short, losing 9-7. Valdez's impressive showing adds to his season-long stats, which now include a .273 batting average, 19 RBI, and six home runs in 44 games played. While his strikeout rate remains a concern, Valdez's ability to produce runs and hit for power makes him an intriguing fantasy option moving forward. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his performance in the coming weeks to see if he can sustain this level of production.
Despite the Boston Red Sox falling to the Tampa Bay Rays by a score of 8-6, Valdez continued to showcase his power at the plate.
Fantasy Impact
In this game, the 24-year-old second baseman went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI. Valdez now has five home runs in 37 games played this season, demonstrating his ability to provide a boost in the power category for fantasy owners. While his batting average sits at .248, Valdez's consistent power production makes him a valuable asset in deeper fantasy leagues.
Enmanuel Valdez is not in the starting lineup Thursday versus the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact
Valdez went 0-for-2 with a strikeout but also stole his fourth base of the season on Wednesday but will start Thursday's contest on the bench. The infielder is hitting just .234 with a .684 OPS but has been a decent source of power and speed with four homers in addition to his four steals in 101 plate appearances this season.
Enmanuel Valdez went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in Wednesday's game against Cincinnati, but it wasn't enough as the Red Sox fell 5-4.
Fantasy Impact
The 24-year-old second baseman has been showing some power at the plate this season, with four home runs and 11 RBI in 28 games played. However, his .250 batting average and high strikeout rate of 0.264 are areas for improvement moving forward.
