Dalbec went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Rangers.

Dalbec's homer, a 427-foot blast off Jon Gray in the second inning, was his first with the Red Sox in nearly a full calendar year. The 28-year-old Dalbec has been swinging the bat well since he was recalled from Triple-A on Saturday, going 6-for-14 with three extra-base hits in four games. He should continue to see fairly regular time at first base down the stretch, with Triston Casas (shoulder) likely out for the year.

Guerrero was scratched from the lineup Wednesday versus the Yankees due to right knee discomfort, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

This knee discomfort has been a lingering issue for Guerrero, but manager John Schneider said it's only soreness -- nothing structural -- and he is considered day-to-day. The 24-year-old slugger was slated to serve as the Blue Jays' designated hitter Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. Spencer Horwitz will now fill that role as Cavan Biggio covers first base and Whit Merrifield enters the lineup at second base.

Mountcastle was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to Sept. 17, with left AC joint inflammation, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The Orioles had consistently said Mountcastle wouldn't need an IL stint for the shoulder injury he suffered a week ago, but he simply hasn't recovered as quickly as anticipated. He'll be eligible for activation Sept. 27, but it's not clear at this time whether he will be ready then.

O'Hearn went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Astros.

O'Hearn homered in his first at-bat and hit safely again in the third inning for his seventh hit in a row before cooling off to end the game. He's batting .375 (21-for-56) over 15 contests in September, an impressive run in what's been a surprisingly good season for the first baseman. He's slashing .311/.339/.519 with 14 homers -- matching his career high -- 59 RBI, 47 runs scored and four stolen bases over 101 games.

Pratto is not in the lineup Wednesday versus the Guardians

Since returning from a left groin strain Sept. 8, Pratto has struggled across eight games, reaching base just three times in 25 plate appearances. With only one extra-base hit in the span, it has amounted to a low OPS of .287. Tuesday will be the fourth time the first baseman is not starting since his return from the injured list.

Mountcastle (shoulder) is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Astros.

Mountcastle hasn't played in a week due to left shoulder soreness. Ryan O'Hearn is starting at first base while Heston Kjerstad starts at designated hitter.

Loftin went 2-for-3 with two RBI and his first MLB stolen base in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Guardians.

Getting the start at second base and batting sixth against Cleveland lefty Logan Allen, Loftin collected multiple hits for the third time in his last four games to boost his slash line in the majors to .359/.419/.538 through his first 43 plate appearances. The 24-year-old's .270/.344/.444 line at Triple-A this year is a better reflection of his talent level, but after going 29-for-35 on steal attempts in the high minors in 2022, he could make some additional contributions in that category over the final days of the season.

Kirilloff is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Reds.

The Twins have not faced a lefty starter in over a week, so this seems like a scheduled rest day for Kirilloff with another righty (Hunter Greene) on tap. Kirilloff has started in six of the last eight games against opposite-handed pitching. Donovan Solano is manning first base and hitting third.

Diaz went 3-for-4 with a double and one run scored in Tuesday's 6-2 victory over the Angels.

The breakout 32-year-old led off Tuesday's contest with a laser line drive into the left-center gap for a double, attentively taking third on an error and scoring on Randy Arozarena's two-run homer. The three-hit performance raised Diaz's batting average to .323, good for second in the AL behind Corey Seager's .333 mark. In his seventh season, Diaz has notched 163 hits, 20 home runs, 73 RBI, 90 runs and a .909 OPS across 575 plate appearances -- all career-highs.

Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.

Torkelson had gone 0-for-9 over his last two games before receiving rest for Monday's series opener. He homered in the first inning to snap the mini-slump, and he's now batting .277 (18-for-65) over 16 contests in September. While he still has a poor .233 batting average, he's posted a .763 OPS, 29 homers, 84 RBI, 83 runs scored and three stolen bases across 148 games this season.
