Valdez was released by the Marlins after opening the 2013 season with a .232/.275/.259 batting line in 122 plate appearances at Triple-A New Orleans. The 35-year-old probably won't make it back to the major leagues.

Valdez has played just six games in the outfield in his seven seasons, and he's never started a game in center. The Reds are desperate, though, with both Drew Stubbs (oblique) and Chris Heisey (groin) sidelined. We're expecting at least one of them to be placed on the DL soon.

Reds acquired INF Wilson Valdez from the Phillies for LHP Jeremy Horst.

Valdez will provide insurance at shortstop for Zack Cozart, who underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery last August. The 33-year-old can also provide a backup presence at third base and second. He hit .249/.294/.341 with one home run and 30 RBI in 99 games last season for the Phillies.

Wilson Valdez had the most bizarre game of his career on Wednesday night, going 3-for-6 while picking up the win as the Phillies downed the Reds in 19 innings at home.

With the Phillies already having used Roy Halladay, Michael Stutes, Ryan Madson, Antonio Bastardo, Kyle Kendrick, J.C. Romero, David Herndon and Danys Baez (who threw 73 pitches in the longest relief outing of his career), manager Charlie Manuel called on his journeyman utility player to pitch the 19th inning. After getting Joey Votto to fly out 395 feet to dead center, he hit Scott Rolen with a pitch before getting both Jay Bruce and Carlos Fisher (yes, the Reds reliever) to fly out. The Phillies would finally end the game in the bottom half of the inning. Valdez was hitting roughly 90 on the radar gun, while showing some surprising movement on his fastball. Valdez is the first position player to earn a win since Colorado's Brent Mayne did so against the Braves on August 22, 2000. He now has as many wins as Chris Carpenter and one more win than John Danks. Baseball is a strange, strange sport.

Wilson Valdez went 4-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI and three runs scored Thursday in the rout of the Mets.

Probably the best offensive game of his career. Valdez had never had four hits in a game before, and he had driven in as many as three runs just twice. So far anyway, he's rewarded the Phillies for sticking with him over Luis Castillo.
