Valdespin appears to have lost his hold on the starting second base job. He will be on the bench again Wednesday against the Rangers, according to MLB.com's Joe Frisaro, marking the sixth straight game he's been out of the lineup. Valdespin has posted a weak .273 on-base percentage over 72 at-bats with Marlins and hasn't made a strong case for the club to bring him back in the offseason.
