The Angels outrighted Valdez to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday. The 38-year-old right-hander will stick around in the organization after he wasn't claimed off waivers upon being designated for assignment earlier in the week. Before being cast off the 40-man roster, Valdez compiled a 7.18 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB over 26.1 innings.

The Angels designated Valdez for assignment Tuesday. Valdez appeared in just one game with the Angels before being booted from the roster, and he allowed two runs -- one earned -- over an inning in that outing. If he goes unclaimed, Valdez could report back to Triple-A Salt Lake to provide depth in the minors.

The Angels selected Valdez's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Sarah Valenzuela of the Los Angeles Times reports. Valdez was added to the roster after the Angels placed Jose Suarez on the injured list with a left shoulder strain. While he's up with the big club, Valdez will likely operate as a middle-innings reliever.

Valdez was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Angels on Tuesday. Valdez pitched in one inning for the Halos last season, allowing a run on two hits, but he spent most of his time with Triple-A Salt Lake. The 38-year-old reliever will likely return to Salt Lake for the 2023 campaign but could rejoin Los Angeles if the Angels' bullpen depth is tested during the season.

Valdez signed a minor-league deal with the Angels on Saturday, Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes reports. Valdez spent the 2022 season with the Angels and pitched almost exclusively at Triple-A Salt Lake. He had success, posting a 3.94 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 146.1 frames. Valdez will likely remain organizational depth for much of 2023, but he could get some spot starts with the big-league club.
