Bobby Dalbec - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Remains in organization The Red Sox outrighted Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

DFA'd by Boston The Red Sox designated Dalbec for assignment Sunday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact 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.

Optioned to Triple-A The Red Sox optioned Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact 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.

Could lose playing time soon Dalbec will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact 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.

Red Sox 1B Triston Casas out indefinitely with broken rib suffered on hard swing at plate

Starts at third, moves to first Dalbec started at third base and then moved to first base after Triston Casas (rib) was removed from Saturday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

Impact Casas will undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury, but manager Alex Cora told Ian Browne of MLB.com that he was "not doing OK." That suggests Dalbec could be in line as a replacement at first base for as long as Casas needs. Dalbec is 1-for-26 (.038) to start the season.

Still with team Dalbec appears to have won a spot on the roster, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Confirmation of Boston's 26-man roster is still pending, but the Red Sox released Dalbec's main competition, C.J. Cron, on Sunday. The team could still be in the market for right-handed complement to Triston Casas at first base, although manager Alex Cora told reporters that there is a "good chance" Dalbec sticks. He finished the Grapefruit League batting .255 (12-for-47) with three home runs and nine RBI. His position versatility could be helpful, as Dalbec can play both corner infield spots.
