Dalbec went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 9-8 win over the Blue Jays.

Dalbec hit the third Red Sox homer of the second inning, a line drive that just cleared the Green Monster and barely stayed fair. He later got aboard with a single and scored on a Rafael Devers double in the fourth. Dalbec now has two homers among his three major-league hits. He's up to three RBI and three runs scored in six games.

Hiura went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored Saturday against Cleveland.

Hiura took Aaron Civale deep in the sixth inning to record his 11th home run of the season. He's now homered in three consecutive contests and has four long balls in his past five starts. After a slow start to the campaign, Hiura is now hitting .238/.323/.483 with 24 runs scored and 25 RBI across 167 plate appearances.

Rizzo is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.

Rizzo went 0-for-4 in Saturday's first game, so manager David Ross decided to hold him out of the lineup for the nightcap. David Bote will start at first base in Rizzo's place.

Wade was recalled by the Twins on Saturday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Wade spent several days at the alternate training site, but he'll return to the major-league club Saturday. The 26-year-old saw inconsistent playing time during his first stint with the team this year and hit .200 with a double and one RBI over 15 at-bats.

Alonso is not in the lineup Saturday against the Phillies.

Alonso has been surprisingly unimpressive at the plate this season, hitting just .210/.321/.406. That hasn't translated into a significant drop in playing time, as he finds himself on the bench for just the third time all year Saturday. Dominic Smith will be the first baseman in his absence.

Solano is not in the lineup Saturday against Arizona, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Solano hits the bench after starting four straight games. Wilmer Flores takes over at second base in his absence.

White went 2-for-2 with a two-run double, two walks and a run in a win over the Rangers on Friday.

White left the 0-for-9 skid he walked into Friday's resumption of play with in the dust via his stellar performance, churning out his third multi-hit effort in his last six starts. The rookie is still slashing just .179/.254/.377 for the season, but there are undeniable signs he's starting to make inroads against big-league arms. Factoring in Friday's production, White owns a .348/.423/.609 line with three doubles, one home run and 10 RBI over 26 plate appearances in his last seven contests.

Cooper will not start Saturday's game against the Rays, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Cooper owns a strong .886 OPS in seven games since returning from the COVID-19 injured list in late August. He'll hit the bench Saturday, with Jesus Aguilar at first base and Corey Dickerson serving as the designated hitter.

Tellez went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

After going 2-for-3 with an RBI during a win in the matinee, Tellez took Chris Mazza deep in the fourth inning of the nightcap for his seventh homer of the year, getting the Jays on the board in an eventual 3-2 loss. The 25-year-old continues to make lots of loud contact, and over his last 10 games Tellez is slashing .370/.455/.741 with three home runs and seven RBI.

Freeman went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a grand slam and a second run scored in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

After going 1-for-4 in the opener, Freeman hit a bases-loaded blast off Tanner Rainey in the fourth inning of the nightcap to tie the game at 7-7, though Atlanta eventually fell 10-9. Remarkably, it was the first grand slam of Freeman's career on his 233rd homer. With knocks in both ends of the twin bill, the 30-year-old's hit streak now stands at 18 games, during which he's slashing .394/.506/.636 with three home runs and 14 RBI.
