The Red Sox recalled Valdez from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

He'll be one of two September call-ups for Boston, with right-handed reliever Chase Shugart also getting moved up from Triple-A. Over his 189 plate appearances at the big-league level this season, Valdez has slashed .224/.282/.400 with six home runs and one stolen base. Though he's not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Valdez could push for playing time in the middle infield while David Hamilton (finger) is on the injured list.
