Homers twice in win Dalbec went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run, a two-run home run, seven RBI and three runs scored during Thursday's win over the Twins.

Impact Dalbec undoubtedly was a major factor during Thursday's 12-2 route, tallying his second two-homer game of the year to go with a season-high seven RBI. Despite his success, the 26-year-old is expected to mainly stand in against lefties. Overall this season, he's batting .235/.287/.453 with 16 long balls.

Sitting against right-hander again Dalbec is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact On the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Bailey Ober) for the second game in a row, Dalbec looks like a strict short-side platoon player at the stage. Kyle Schwarber could pick up his first start at first base as soon as Thursday, and if the Red Sox are comfortable deploying him there on a regular basis, Dalbec's opportunities may become even more scarce.

Goes yard twice in rout Dalbec went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Saturday's 16-2 rout of the Orioles.

Impact The 26-year-old took Adam Plutko deep in the fifth inning and Cesar Valdez in the sixth, part of a five-homer, 17-hit rampage by the Boston offense in support of Chris Sale during the southpaw's first big-league start in almost exactly two years. Dalbec is up to 14 homers on the season, with three of them coming in the last two days, but his .233 batting average and 36.3 percent strikeout rate put a firm cap on his fantasy upside.

Displays power Friday Dalbec went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles and three RBI in Friday's 8-1 win over Baltimore.

Impact The first baseman has produced multiple hits in each of his last three starts, going 7-for-11 with a home run, a triple, two doubles and nine RBI in that span. Dalbec hasn't been particularly effective for much of the year with a .229/.281/.422 slash line, but he's beginning to find a groove at the plate. The 26-year-old has added 12 homers, 49 RBI and 30 runs scored across 324 plate appearances. Dalbec will likely compete with Franchy Cordero and Kyle Schwarber for starts at first base.

Drives in five Dalbec went 2-for-3 with a triple, five RBI, two runs scored and two walks Wednesday against the Rays.

Impact Dalbec delivered a bases-loaded single in the fourth inning to drive in two. In his next time through the order, he once again came up with the bases loaded, this time clearing the bases with a triple. Though he's lost out on playing time, Dalbec has started to swing the bat better of late, tallying five hits across his last 14 at-bats since Aug. 5. However, he still has a subpar .222/.275/.401 line across 320 plate appearances on the season.

Eduardo Rodriguez struck out 10 in five shutout innings and the Boston Red Sox snapped a five-game losing streak with a 4-1 win over the Detroit Tigers

AUGUST 5, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Sitting against righty again Dalbec is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Dalbec drew six consecutive starts -- all against left-handed pitchers -- to close out last week, going 3-for-18 with a home run and a double over that stretch. With Boston opening the current week with a pair of matchups versus right-handed pitching (Wily Peralta and Casey Mize), the right-handed-hitting Dalbec has been stuck on the bench. Dalbec looks set to fill a short-side platoon role at first base with either Franchy Cordero or Marwin Gonzalez.

Swats 11th homer Dalbec went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-5 loss to the Rays.

Impact His fifth-inning blast off Ryan Yarbrough was his first homer since June 28 and 11th of the season. While it was a nice way to wrap up July, Dalbec still slashed only .210/.234/.306 through 21 games on the month with an atrocious 1:25 BB:K. The return of Franchy Cordero hasn't had a big impact on Dalbec's playing time, but the eventual Boston debut of Kyle Schwarber (hamstring) probably will.
