Valdespin was outrighted to Triple-A New Orleans on Friday. Valdespin fared reasonably well immediately upon his promotion to Miami after the All-Star break, posting a .796 OPS with two homers in 12 July games. Things predictably went south in a hurry, however, and Valdespin finished with a .214/.280/.347 batting line in 52 games, resulting in the outright assignment to Triple-A. He's unlikely to take on a significant role with any team next season.
