Facing competition at 1B Dalbec is not projected to make the Opening Day roster in the latest roster projection from Ian Browne of MLB.com.

Impact While the Red Sox have exposed Dalbec to the outfield, he had been expected to back up Triston Casas at first base. That all changed when Boston inked C.J. Cron to a minor-league deal with an invite to camp Friday. If Cron passes a physical, he could serve as the right-handed complement to Casas.

Strikeouts piling up Dalbec went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Friday's 3-0 win over Baltimore.

Impact Dalbec continues to fill a spot in the lineup at first base with Triston Casas (shoulder) done for the season. Dalbec hit safely in five consecutive games after being called up from Triple-A Worcester, but he's gone the other the way since. The corner infielder is 1-for-16 with 10 strikeouts over the last five contests.

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

Impact Dalbec's homer, a 427-foot blast of 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 regular time at first base down the stretch, with Triston Casas (shoulder) likely out for the year.

Bobby Dalbec, 28, is not the same player he was when he was cut at the end of spring training by the Red Sox - The Boston Globe Dalbec, in his eighth season in pro ball, said he is really figuring it out.

Makes second straight start Dalbec started at first base and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 4-2 win over Texas.

Impact Dalbec made a second consecutive start at first base in place of the injured Triston Casas (shoulder), who it was learned Monday is likely done for the season, per Alex Speier of the Boston Globe. Dalbec is 3-for-8 in two games since being called up following Casas' placement on the injured list.

Starts at first base Dalbec started at first base and went 1-for-3 in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Toronto.

Impact Dalbec was summoned from Triple-A Worcester after Boston placed Triston Casas (shoulder) on the injured list. Dalbec mashed for the WooSox, slugging .557 with 33 home runs and 80 RBI over 114 games. Hitting Triple-A pitching, however, has never been the issue. The 28-year-old maintains a .232/.298/.452 slash line over 915 plate appearances in the majors. While Dalbec could get regular work in the final weeks of the season, he does not have a path to a regular gig in 2024.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in big leagues Dalbec was recalled by the Red Sox on Saturday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Dalbec hit a lopsided .232/.298/.456 over his first three big-league seasons, good for a league-average 100 wRC+. He's only received 14 plate appearances at the MLB level this season, striking out in eight of them. He owns a .938 OPS and 33 homers for Triple-A Worcester, but he still struck out 34.3 percent of the time, so it's unlikely his big-league numbers will be significantly better going forward. He could make a handful of starts down the stretch in the absence of Triston Casas (shoulder), though the Red Sox could also play Justin Turner at first base.

The manager is hopeful Dalbec will return this week.

Impact Dalbec was called up from Triple-A Worcester on Friday after the team placed Pablo Reyes (abdomen) on the injured list. The Red Sox plan to use him mainly at corner infield, but first and third base are manned by Triston Casas and Rafael Devers, respectively. Dalbec has played some shortstop -- the most obvious path to at-bats given the team's current roster -- but the Red Sox will try to stay away from him there.
