George Valera went 0-for-5 for Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, dropping his average to .181.
This is looking like a lost year for Valera, who suffered a fractured hamate bone in March and then a strained hamstring a week after returning in May. He’s played in just 38 games for Columbus, and he has only eight extra-base hits. If he had remained healthy, he might be starting in the Guardians outfield right now.
