Valdez is in his third season in the majors after spending time with the Detroit Tigers. Last season with the Angels he pitched in 25 games and sported a 4.24 ERA.

This year he has pitched in just one game for the Angels. San Diego is looking to add some depth to their bullpen and Valdez may be able to provide that depth. San Diego will take on the Chicago White Sox tonight.
