Red Sox's Enmanuel Valdez: Out of lineup against lefty
Enmanuel Valdez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.Valdez had started in three of the last four games but will take a seat against a left-hander. Romy Gonzalez draws the start at second base Monday. There had been speculation that Ceddanne Rafaela would move to the keystone with Trevor Story's return from the 60-day injured list Sunday, but that has not developed yet. It could, but early on with Story taking back over as the Boston Red Sox's everyday shortstop, second base has been covered by Valdez against righties and Gonzalez against lefties.

Red Sox's Enmanuel Valdez: Sitting against righty Monday
Enmanuel Valdez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.Since he was recalled from Triple-A Worcester on May 29, Valdez has operated in the strong side of a platoon at second base while slashing .308/.390/.654 with four home runs and one stolen base over a stretch of 20 games. Though his performance doesn't warrant a downturn in playing time, Valdez could nonetheless find himself as the odd man out of the lineup against right-handed pitching as a consequence of the Boston Red Sox regaining health in the outfield. The recent returns of Tyler O'Neill and Wilyer Abreu from injuries will push Ceddanne Rafaela from center field to shortstop and David Hamilton from shortstop to second base Monday, leaving no room for the lefty-hitting Valdez even though Toronto will bring a righty (Chris Bassitt) to the hill.
