Valdez (elbow) will start Sunday's game against the Rockies, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Advice: Valdez has been on the IL since April 9 due to inflammation in his left elbow. He built up to 40 pitches in his last bullpen session Wednesday, so his first start back from the injured list will likely be an abbreviated one, but his return will still give Houston's a much-needed boost following the loss of Cristian Javier (neck). Valdez surrendered three earned runs and struck out 10 batters over 12.1 innings across his first two starts before getting injured.
