Dalbec isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Mets, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Dalbec will get a breather after he went 4-for-10 with two doubles, three RBI and a run across the last three games. Kyle Schwarber will shift to first base while Jose Iglesias enters the lineup at the keystone.

Olson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Mariners.

Olson homered off Marco Gonzales in the first inning, putting the Athletics in the lead. It was his fifth home run in his last 10 games. The 27-year-old is slashing .274/.372/.549 with 37 homers, 104 RBI and 97 runs scored in 624 plate appearances this season.

Arizona manager Torey Lovullo expects to start Calhoun in right field Wednesday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Calhoun has yet to start in the field since coming off the injured list last Friday. He served as the designated hitter for three games over the weekend while the Diamondbacks were in Houston.

Cron went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a run and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers.

The first baseman keyed Colorado's offensive output in the loss, knocking home a run with a double in the fourth inning and repeating the feat in the the sixth. The performance was his second multi-hit effort in his past three games following a four-game stretch during which he went 0-for-11. Cron's first season in Colorado has been arguably the best of his big-league tenure, as he is slashing .271/.368/.526 with 27 homers and a career-high 85 RBI.

Alonso went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Alonso took Garrett Richards yard in the eighth inning record his 34th homer of the season. It was Alonso's fifth home run across 19 games in September, and he's also chipped in six doubles and two triples. Though his power totals won't reach the heights of the 2019 season, Alonso has maintained a .253 ISO while striking out at just a 20.3 percent clip across 591 plate appearances.

Rivas (finger) will miss the rest of the season after being placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Rivas is eligible to return for the final few games of the season, but the tendon injury in his right middle finger will instead end his campaign. The 25-year-old appeared in 18 games during his first taste of big-league action and hit .318/.388/.409 with one homer, three RBI and seven runs. Assuming he's healthy in time for spring training, Rivas should have a chance to earn a spot on Chicago's Opening Day roster in 2022.

Raley was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City and is starting Tuesday's game against the Rockies in right field, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Cody Bellinger was initially slated to start the contest, but he'll instead move to the injured list with a left rib fracture. Raley will take his spot on the 28-man roster and is set to enter Tuesday's lineup in right field, pushing Mookie Betts to center field. Raley went 10-for-59 with a double, homer and two RBI during his previous stints in the majors this season.

Rivas was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with an injury to a tendon in his right middle finger, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Rivas was penciled in to start in the outfield Tuesday versus the Twins, but he'll instead move to the injured list. The 25-year-old will be eligible to return before the end of the season, but it would only be for the last few games of the campaign.

Mountcastle is not starting Tuesday against the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

With no DH at its disposal, Mountcastle started at first base in favor of Trey Mancini on Monday, and now the two will swap for the second game of the three-game set. Mountcastle should be a top option off the bench, however.

Lowe is not starting Tuesday against the Yankees.

Lowe has enjoyed a solid month of September in which he's gone 16-for-60 (five XBH) with 13 walks, 11 runs scored and seven RBI. He'll get his first day off since Aug. 28 as Andy Ibanez shifts to first base Tuesday.
