The Boston Red Sox claimed Valdéz off waivers on February 23, 2020. On March 8, he was assigned to the Pawtucket Red Sox of the Triple-A affiliate.

On July 23, he was recalled to Boston, returned to Worcester on August 12, and was recalled to Boston again on August 30. Valdéz was placed on the COVID-related list on September 12th.
