• Red Sox's Bobby Dalbec: Remains in organization

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  The Red Sox outrighted Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports. Dalbec was scrubbed from the 40-man roster over the weekend but will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. He will be eligible for minor-league free agency this offseason if he remains off the 40-man roster following the World Series.

• Red Sox's Bobby Dalbec: DFA'd by Boston

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  The Red Sox designated Dalbec for assignment Sunday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports. Dalbec has been with Triple-A Worcester since June 22. Since then, he has slashed .260/.345/.475 with 11 home runs, 43 RBI and a 36.9 percent strikeout rate across 249 plate appearances with Worcester. Dalbec has hit 47 home runs for the Red Sox over the past four seasons, and if he elects to move on from the organization, he should get interest from teams looking for a lefty-hitting first baseman.

• Red Sox's Bobby Dalbec: Optioned to Triple-A

  06/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Red Sox optioned Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports. The move corresponds with Wilyer Abreu (ankle) being reinstated from the injured list. Dalbec has struggled at the plate since being recalled by the Red Sox on June 2, going 4-for-30 with four RBI and a 44.1 percent strikeout rate. He'll look to get his swing right in Triple-A, where he is slashing .245/.330/.529 with eight home runs and 21 RBI over 115 plate appearances.

• Red Sox's Bobby Dalbec: Could lose playing time soon

  06/12/2024 • By RotoWire

  Dalbec will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Phillies. Dalbec will stay in the lineup for the fourth time in five games, making his second start at first base during that stretch while the lefty-hitting Dominic Smith hits the bench against Phillies southpaw Cristopher Sanchez. Though Dalbec had also recently picked up starts at third base and in right field, he likely won't see many more opportunities at those positions moving forward after Masataka Yoshida returned from the injured list Tuesday and after Tyler O'Neill (knee) rejoined the lineup Wednesday following a three-game absence. Instead, Dalbec looks like he'll be stuck in the short side of a platoon with Smith.

  06/09/2024 • By RotoWire

  Dalbec went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the White Sox. Getting the start in right field and batting seventh, the 28-year-old took Nick Nastrini deep in the fifth inning for Boston's only offense, and Dalbec's first long ball in the majors this season. He's flashed plenty of power in the minors -- in his last 140 games for Triple-A Worcester, he's slugged 41 homers -- but that hasn't yet translated to the game's highest level with any consistency. He'll lose playing time, and likely his spot on the 26-man roster, when players like Tyler O'Neill (knee), Wilyer Abreu (ankle) and Masataka Yoshida (thumb) are back in action, as Dalbec's .159/.243/.238 slash line in 28 games for the Red Sox makes a poor case to keep him around.
