Valencia (hamstring) is starting at third base and hitting fifth Wednesday against the Angels, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Valencia is good to go after missing the last two games with hamstring tightness. The 33-year-old was starting to find his swing prior to picking up the minor ailment over the weekend, collecting five hits in his past three games, so he'll look to pick up right where he left off in his return to action.

Valencia is dealing with hamstring tightness, although the injury isn't expected to be overly concerning, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Valencia was scratched from Sunday's lineup after experiencing some discomfort in his leg while warming up. The Orioles have Monday off, so consider Valencia day-to-day heading into Tuesday's game against the Angels.

Valencia was a late scratch from the Orioles' lineup Sunday against the Tigers due to an undisclosed issue, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxonline.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Valencia had been in line to bat fifth and start at third base, but Pedro Alvarez will now replace him in the field, while right fielder Anthony Santander moves up from seventh to fifth in the order. Expect the Orioles to provide an update on the reason behind Valencia's absence in the near future.

Valencia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran has only four hits on the season, but three of them have gone for extra bases (one double, two homers). Valencia's been getting steady playing time since Jonathan Schoop (oblique) hit the disabled list, but as yet he hasn't done much to prove he should continue seeing his name on the lineup card once the O's get healthier.

Valencia went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two runs scored in Sunday's win against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Although his batting average is sitting at a bleak .167 for the year, Valencia found some power and hit his first home run of the season Sunday. However, Valencia's fantasy value remains low, as he figures to platoon at the DH spot with Pedro Alvarez until Mark Trumbo (quadriceps) comes off the disabled list.

Valencia earned a spot on the Orioles' Opening Day roster, Eduardo A. Encina of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Valencia was with the club on a minor-league deal this spring. He will serve as a utility man at the corner infield and outfield positions in 2018 after proving his worth during Grapefruit League action.

Valencia (calf) entered Thursday's game at third base in the second inning, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Orioles didn't seem to be too concerned over Valencia's status after he missed a couple games earlier this week due to calf soreness, and it appears as though he should be at 100 percent prior to Opening Day. Over 130 games with the Mariners last season, Valencia hit .256/.314/.411 with 15 home runs and 66 RBI.

Valencia (calf) claimed that he could've played in Monday's Grapefruit League game if it was the regular season, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran infielder is seemingly being extra careful with his injury since it's still spring training, but it's good to hear that there is little concern about the issue. Expect Valencia to return to game action sometime in the next couple days.

Valencia is out with minor calf soreness, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxonline.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Valencia is battling for a bench role with the Orioles this spring. He hit .256/.314/.411 in 130 games for the Mariners last season and is 6-for-29 with two homers so far this spring. His injury appears to be minor, which would leave him with a chance to make the Opening Day roster, though the exact details remain unclear.

Valencia has signed a minor-league deal with Baltimore, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Valencia hit .256/.314/.411 in 130 games for the Mariners last season, unremarkable numbers for a player who played primarily as a first baseman. The 33-year-old can play all four corner positions and could win a role as a bench bat for the Orioles, though his fantasy value is likely to be limited unless an injury opens up unexpected playing time.
