Baseball Betting Lines

05/03/2010 - Houston, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Arizona Diamondbacks recalled right-hander Cesar Valdez from Triple-A Reno to make his major league debut in Monday's series opener at Houston.

The 25-year-old Valdez went 1-1 with a 3.80 earned run average in four starts for Reno. He recorded 25 strikeouts against only five walks in 23 2/3 innings.

Arizona's minor league pitcher of the year in 2008, Valdez is taking the place of injured starter Kris Benson, who's on the 15-day disabled list with a shoulder problem.

In a corresponding move, the Diamondbacks optioned reliever Kevin Mulvey to Reno. Mulvey appeared in two games after being recalled last Wednesday.
