Raul

Valdes

In other words, Boone Logan will be the lone left-hander out of the bullpen. Valdes will be sent to Tampa in order to stay sharp and could be used if the Yankees face the lefty-heavy Rangers in the ALCS.

The Phillies will need to make a move to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Valdes has a solid 3.86 ERA and 26/1 K/BB ratio over 21 innings at the Triple-A level this season. The 34-year-old southpaw appeared in 13 games last season between the Yankees and Cardinals.

Valdes has been terrific for Lehigh Valley this season, posting a 3.86 ERA and 26/1 K/BB ratio over 21 innings. He holds a 4.58 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 51 career major league appearances, though, so we’re not expecting much.

The Phillies have yet to confirm the signing. Valdes, who turns 34 later this month, allowed four runs on 14 hits over 12 innings this season between the Yankees and Cardinals.

He’ll also receive an invite to spring training. Valdes, 34, allowed four runs on 14 hits over 12 innings this season between the Yankees and Cardinals. He could win a job as the second left-hander out of the bullpen.

Valdes has posted a stellar 2.13 ERA and 0.63 WHIP in 12 2/3 innings this season. He should be back up soon.

He should be OK to return later this month. Valdes holds a 3.80 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 24/4 K/BB ratio over 21 1/3 innings for the Phillies this season.

The Phils cleared a spot on the active roster by sending Eric Kratz down to the minors following Tuesday’s game. Valdes has a 2.13 ERA and 13/1 K/BB ratio over 12 2/3 innings with the Phillies this season. He’ll operate in middle relief.

He has been out since July 9 with a right hip strain. The 34-year-old southpaw has a 3.80 ERA and 24/4 K/BB ratio over 21 1/3 innings this season.

They used both Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels during a doubleheader Sunday, necessitating the move. Raul Valdes is expected to get the ball first if he isn’t used Tuesday.
