Hits walk-off single Tuesday
Valenzuela went 1-for-4 with an RBI single in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Phillies.
Analiz
Valenzuela failed to reach base safely in his first three plate appearances, but the rookie catcher came up clutch with an RBI single in the ninth that brought the game-winning run home. Valenzuela has been effective at the plate this season and has gone 7-for-18 (.389) with seven RBI, five extra-base hits and four runs scored over his last six games. Alejandro Kirk (thumb) is on track to return from the 60-day injured list Friday, but the Blue Jays might keep Valenzuela on the 26-man roster rather than send him down to the minors, though Tyler Heineman does not have any options remaining.

Resting after big weekend
Valenzuela is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
Analiz
Tyler Heineman will step in behind the plate for the series opener while Valenzuela gets a well-deserved breather following a productive weekend series against the Orioles. Valenzuela caught all three games against Baltimore, going 5-for-9 with two home runs, two doubles, one walk, five RBI and three runs. Though he currently sits atop the depth chart at catcher, Valenzuela could see his playing time get curbed dramatically as soon as the upcoming weekend, when Alejandro Kirk (thumb) may be ready to return from the 60-day injured list.

Smacks another homer
Valenzuela went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI during Toronto's 6-4 win over Baltimore on Sunday.
Analiz
Valenzuela contributed to the Blue Jays' five-run sixth inning with an RBI groundout before giving his team an insurance run in the eighth with a solo homer. The rookie catcher has been scorching at the plate recently, having smacked three homers over his last four outings, and his eight long balls are second-most on the Blue Jays behind Kazuma Okamoto (13). Valenzuela is up to an .822 OPS with 16 RBI and 12 extra-base hits over 135 plate appearances this season. It remains to be seen whether he'll remain on the Blue Jays' 26-man roster once Alejandro Kirk (thumb) is cleared to return from the 60-day injured list.

Goes deep against Baltimore
Valenzuela went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 13-3 loss to the Orioles.
Analiz
Valanzuela handed the Blue Jays a 3-1 lead after taking Brandon Young deep to right-center field for a 417-foot, two-run home run. Valanzuela has gone deep in back-to-back games and is up to six homers on the season. He has stepped up as the Blue Jays' primary catcher ahead of Tyler Heineman, but Valenzuela could soon see his workload drop dramatically, as Alejandro Kirk (thumb) is trending toward returning from the 60-day IL early next week, per Mitch Bannon of The Athletic.

Taking seat Thursday
Valenzuela isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.
Analiz
Valenzuela will step out of the starting nine Thursday after going 1-for-6 with a solo homer and three strikeouts across the first two games of the series. Tyler Heineman will fill in as Toronto's catcher and bat eighth.

Homers in losing effort
Valenzuela went 1-for-3 with a solo home run In the 7-3 loss to Atlanta on Wednesday.
Analiz
Valenzuela smacked a solo shot off of Tyler Kinley in the ninth inning for his fifth long ball of the season. The rookie catcher has gotten plenty of playing time in place of the injured Alejandro Kirk (thumb) since being called up in early April. Kirk is expected to return at some point next week, but Valenzuela's .723 OPS this season may have earned him the backup catching job over Tyler Heineman (.380 OPS).
