Luis Valbuena Reportedly Reaches Agreement with Angels

Veteran infielder Luis Valbuena has reportedly found a new home with the Los Angeles Angels after slugging 66 home runs over the past four years, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reported Thursday.

Valbuena was on pace to have his best season to date in 2016 before a hamstring injury brought a premature end to his campaign in August. His .260 batting average and .816 OPS were both career highs, and he tallied 13 homers in 90 games for the Houston Astros.

Angel Verdejo Jr. of the Houston Chronicle noted the versatile infielder was focused on his recovery and not the potential offseason impact after suffering the injury setback.

"I have to get ready and see what happens," Valbuena said.

He started his career with the Seattle Mariners in 2008 and then spent three years apiece with the Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs before ending up in Houston in 2015. In all, he owns a career .232/.317/.394 slash line in 798 games.

His impact has increased over the past handful of years. Along with the aforementioned 66 home runs, he's tallied 184 RBI and 202 runs scored since the start of the 2013 campaign.
