Enters for Hosmer Dalbec entered Saturday's game after Eric Hosmer was removed due to back pain. He went 0-for-2 in a 4-3 win over Baltimore.

Impact Dalbec already marginal playing time took a hit since Hosmer's arrival in Boston. Since Hosmer joined the Red Sox, he's had 45 plate appearances compared to Dalbec's 19. It's uncertain how long Hosmer will be impacted by the injury, but Dalbec will benefit from an uptick in playing time in the short-term.

Slugs 11th homer Dalbec went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Royals.

Impact Dalbec has hit safely in three of his four games in August, but the presence of Eric Hosmer on the roster likely means he'll see less playing time down the stretch. This was Dalbec's first homer since he swatted two versus the Guardians on July 27. The corner infielder is up to 11 long balls this season while adding 32 RBI, 32 runs scored, two stolen bases and a mediocre .205/.280/.369 slash line through 300 plate appearances.

How Alex Cora Will Use Bobby Dalbec With Eric Hosmer Now On Red Sox Red Sox manager Alex Cora discussed how he plans to use Bobby Dalbec after the team acquired first baseman Eric Hosmer.

AUGUST 5, 2022 • NESN.COM

Back in bench role Dalbec is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact Even with southpaw Kris Bubic taking the hill for Kansas City, the Red Sox won't find room in the lineup for the righty-hitting Dalbec, who started each of the past 12 games at either third base or first base. Dalbec's path to playing time at the hot corner closed Tuesday when Rafael Devers was reinstated from the injured, and Dalbec won't have a regular spot in the lineup at first base either with Eric Hosmer (neck) having been cleared to make his team debut Thursday after being acquired from the Padres earlier in the week. The lefty-hitting Hosmer also has a stronger track record against left-handed pitching at the big-league level than Franchy Cordero did prior to being demoted to Triple-A Worcester, so Dalbec may not even be in line for a short-side platoon role moving forward.

Starter days numbered With Red Sox manager Alex Cora telling Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com that Eric Hosmer (neck) will "play a lot," Dalbec's plate appearances should be reduced considerably.

Impact Dalbec started Tuesday and and went 1-for-2 with walk in a win over the Astros. However, once Hosmer is ready to join the active roster, expect to see less of Dalbec.

Bobby Dalbec's bright night couldn't save the Red Sox, but he seems to be finding his summer rhythm again - The Boston Globe Dalbec got hot after the All-Star break last season, and he'll hope Wednesday is the start of another strong second half.

JULY 28, 2022 • BOSTONGLOBE.COM

Goes yard twice Dalbec went 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs and five RBI in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Guardians.

Impact Dalbec hit two-run blasts in the second and sixth innings and added a sacrifice fly in the fourth. The 27-year-old did all of his damage against Guardians starter Cal Quantrill. With five homers in 19 games in July, the power is not the question with Dalbec. He's also hit safely in only four of his last 14 games. The infielder owns a .206/.279/.370 slash line with 10 long balls, 28 RBI, 29 runs scored and two stolen bases through 272 plate appearances.

Solo homer in loss Dalbec went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss against the Blue Jays.

Impact Dalbec was responsible for all of Boston's offense Saturday, launching a second-inning solo shot off Alek Manoah. It was his eighth home run of the season and his third in July. The first baseman picked up two hits in the contest after going hitless in his last three appearances. He has struggled throughout the season, but July has been especially rough for Dalbec, who has 22 strikeouts and 10 hits. He is carrying a .210 batting average after Saturday's contest. In addition to his work at first base, Dalbec may get starts at third base while Rafael Devers (hamstring) is on the 10-day injured list.

Sits after six straight starts Dalbec is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Thanks to the Red Sox facing a few lefties of late in addition to Rafael Devers, J.D. Martinez and Trevor Story having all missed games with minor injuries, Dalbec had started in each of the past six contests. Story (hand) remains out Thursday, but with Devers and Martinez healthy and right-hander Drew Rasmussen on the bump for Tampa Bay, manager Alex Cora won't have room in the lineup for Dalbec.
