Blue Jays to give Cesar Valdez another start after strong showing
TORONTO — Cesar Valdez has earned another start with the Toronto Blue Jays.
The 32-year-old right-hander posted his first major-league win in more than seven years, throwing six strong innings in a 4-1 win Tuesday over Oakland.
Manager John Gibbons says Valdez will likely start Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels.
“I tell you what, he’s got something,” Gibbons said prior to Thursday’s afternoon game against the Athletics. “He can throw anything at any time, he changes arm angles. He’s very confident too.
