Being shopped The Red Sox are actively shopping Dalbec, Peter Gammons reports.

Impact Gammons reported two National League executives as the source of his intel. Dalbec does not have a path to a regular role with Boston, but both execs believe Dalbec can harness his power and play everyday at third base.

Optioned to Triple-A Dalbec was optioned to Triple-A Worcester by Boston on Friday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact It's likely that the corresponding transaction will be Pablo Reyes joining Boston on Saturday after the Red Sox acquired Reyes in a trade before Friday's game. Dalbec will head back to Triple-A and will likely make several more trips between Boston and the Triple-A club before the 2023 season comes to a close.

Returns to big club The Red Sox recalled Dalbec from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact He'll provide Boston with another right-handed-hitting option out of the infield after Christian Arroyo (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Dalbec has seen action at first base, third base and shortstop between Boston and Triple-A this season and should be an option at all three positions while he's up with the big club, though he's unlikely to be used as anything more than a short-side platoon bat.

Sent down to minors The Red Sox optioned Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

Impact Dalbec's stay with Boston lasted just under a week, with the 27-year-old infielder appearing in four games and going 2-for-9 with two walks against five strikeouts during his time with the big club. Boston called up outfielder Jarren Duran from Triple-A to replace Dalbec on the 26-man active roster.

Shifts to third base Dalbec started at third base and went 0-for-3 in Thursday's 9-3 loss to Tampa Bay.

Impact Dalbec filled in for a resting Rafael Devers after playing shortstop the day before. The Red Sox are moving him around -- he's played first base, shortstop and now third base in three consecutive games -- trying to take advantage of a potentially explosive right-handed bat against a string of southpaws. Dalbec is 2-for-9 with two walks and a stolen base since being called up.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starts at shortstop Dalbec started at shortstop and went 0-for-4 in Wednesday's 9-7 loss to the Rays.

Impact Dalbec made his second career start at shortstop, and it was an inauspicious one. He booted a grounder in the first inning that led to Tampa Bay scoring three times. Dalbec is familiar with that side of the infield, having come up through the system as a third baseman, but doesn't have a defensive home on this year's club. He's expected to remain up with the team while the Red Sox are projected to face four straight lefties through the weekend, but Dalbec could be back in the minors next week.

APRIL 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On base twice, steals bag Dalbec started at first base and went 1-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Rays.

Impact The Red Sox held primary first baseman Triston Casas on the bench, giving Dalbec his first start since being called up from Triple-A Worcester after Boston placed Adam Duvall (wrist) on the injured list. The Red Sox opted to call up Dalbec instead of center fielder Jarren Duran, because they are projected to face several lefties in the coming week and felt Dalbec's right-handed bat was a better offensive fit. At this time, first base is not considered a platoon, although Casas, much like Dalbec the last two seasons, is off to a slow start. He's batting .161 after two hitless at-bats off the bench Tuesday. The Red Sox will see right-hander Taj Bradley on Wednesday, so expect Casas back in the lineup. After Wednesday, Boston is projected to see four consecutive lefties, which means potential starts for Dalbec. At some point next week, the team could replace Dalbec with the lefty-hitting Duran, who could be a replacement for Duvall in the field.

APRIL 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Making start at first base Dalbec is starting at first base and batting eighth for Tuesday's contest against the Rays.

Impact Dalbec had a pinch-hit for his first base knock of the season Monday and will make his first start for the Red Sox this year Tuesday. Boston is slated to face a slew of southpaws over the next several days, so Dalbec could be busy.

APRIL 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Makes season debut Dalbec went 1-for-1 as a pinch hitter then finished the game at first base in Monday's 1-0 loss to the Rays.

Impact Dalbec batted for Triston Casas in the eighth inning against lefty reliever Colin Poche for his his first appearance of 2023. He was called up when the Red Sox placed center fielder Adam Duvall (wrist) on the injured list. Dalbec got the call over natural center fielder Jarren Duran, as manager Alex Cora has a plan in place to cover for Duvall, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. The Red Sox plan to rotate Rob Refsnyder, Raimel Tapia and the team's primary shortstop, Enrique Hernandez, in center. When Hernandez starts in the outfield, Cora could use Dalbec as a replacement at short, although Yu Chang is the likely option.

Summoned from Triple-A The Red Sox recalled Dalbec from Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact He's taking the roster spot vacated by Adam Duvall (wrist). Dalbec has started games at first base, third base and shortstop this season at Worcester and could see playing time in the infield if the Red Sox want to use Enrique Hernandez in center field while Duvall is out. He probably won't play enough or hit well enough to be worthy of a fantasy roster spot, though.

APRIL 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to join major-league club Dalbec will join the Red Sox ahead of their upcoming series in Tampa Bay that begins Monday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact After missing out a spot on Boston's Opening Day roster, Dalbec should be activated Monday, but an official move won't be made Sunday. However, the 27-year-old has defensive versatility and would provide depth if Adam Duvall (wrist) requires a trip to the injured list. Dalbec slashed .215/.283/.369 with 12 homers, 40 runs, 39 RBI and three steals over 117 games with the big-league club last year, and the right-handed hitter should have a chance to earn playing time in Tampa Bay since the Rays are slated to start three southpaws during the four-game series.

Bid for roster berth falls short The Red Sox optioned Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Dalbec's demotion likely confirms that Yu Chang has secured the final bench spot on the Red Sox's Opening Day roster as a utility infielder. Though he's long intrigued with his power potential, Dalbec's high strikeout rates and career-long struggles against right-handed pitching make it difficult to envision the 27-year-old serving as anything more than a short-side platoon man over the long haul.

Gets work at shortstop Dalbec will make his fourth consecutive start at shortstop Saturday, Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports.

Impact Dalbec is producing this spring but doesn't have an everyday home on the diamond. When a player goes 11-for-34 (.324) with three doubles, two triples and a home run, a manager will try to find spots. Dalbec has experience at first and third base and played some shortstop before. "Bobby's a great athlete," manager Alex Cora told Abraham. "He understands what he can do with his body and his internal clock is great. Off-balance throws, double plays... he understands the game and he's a good defender." The biggest question about Dalbec is if he can hit enough to maintain a steady role in the regular season. Over the last two seasons, Dalbec hit a combined .229 over 250 games.
