Availability
Framber Valdez allowed two earned runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out six over seven innings in Saturday's win over the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
Valdez has provided mixed results on the mound of late, allowing two earned runs or less in three of his last six contests. The left-hander has underwhelmed while struggling with lapses in control for manager AJ Hinch, carrying a 4.41 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with a 6-7 record and 7.3 K/9 ratio across 22 starts.
Framber Valdez allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings in Sunday's loss to the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
Valdez has struggled to miss opposing bats of late, allowing three runs or more in four of his last five trips to the mound. The left-hander continues to disappoint fantasy managers as one of the more underwhelming options in the Tigers rotation to this point, posting a 4.53 ERA and 1.38 WHIP with a 5-7 record and 7.3 K/9 ratio across 21 starts.
Tigers left-hander Framber Valdez allowed six earned runs on five hits and two walks across just 2/3 of an inning in a loss against the Cubs on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
The Cubs jumped all over Valdez in the first inning, getting to the veteran for five hits and six runs before chasing him from the game with just two outs in the frame. The left-hander's roller coaster season continued, as he has now allowed at least four runs in six of his last 11 starts, while also allowing one run or less in five of those 11 starts. He will take an increased 4.57 ERA into his next scheduled start at home against the Royals on Sunday.
Framber Valdez has been reinstated from the bereavement list by the Detroit Tigers the club announced.
Fantasy Impact
Valdez returns after tending to a death in his family, with the left-hander scheduled to take the mound against the Chicago Cubs early next week for manager AJ Hinch. In a corresponding move, right-hander Beau Brieske was optioned to Triple-A Toledo.
The Tigers placed LHP Framber Valdez on the bereavement list.
Fantasy Impact
Valdez will be away from the team on Sunday. He should be back after the All-Star break.
