Valenzuela went 3-for-4 in Friday's 3-1 win over St. Louis.
It was Valenzela's eighth multi-hit game and the third time this season that he logged at least three hits. It was a welcome return to form at the plate for the 25-year-old catcher, who entered Friday's contest having gone 2-for-18 (.111) with a solo home run since the All-Star break.

Valenzuela went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's 12-4 loss to the White Sox.
Valenzuela cut the Blue Jays' deficit to 8-4 with a solo home run in the sixth, his eighth long ball of the season. George Springer started in left field Friday, so Valenzuela could see an uptick in plate appearances in the second half of the regular season if he sees more time as the designated hitter or as the catcher in games in which Alejandro Kirk serves as the DH.

Valenzuela is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
Since being called up from Triple-A Buffalo on April 4, Valenzuela has been a pleasant surprise for the Blue Jays, producing a .792 OPS over 149 plate appearances in addition to providing quality defense behind the dish. He's nonetheless headed for a reduction in playing time, as the return of Alejandro Kirk from the 60-day injured list has bumped Valenzuela down a spot on the depth chart. Valenzuela will sit for the second time in the series Sunday while Kirk gets the starting nod behind the dish.

Valenzuela went 1-for-4 with an RBI single in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Phillies.
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.

Valenzuela is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
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.

Valenzuela went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI during Toronto's 6-4 win over Baltimore on Sunday.
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.
