2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Red Sox appeared to have moved on from Dalbec, a one-time top prospect that failed to deliver in more than 900 at-bats in the majors, as they handed first base to Triston Casas. There was a late-season uprising in 2021, but Dalbec took a step back in 2022 - his inability to consistently hit right-handers made it impossible for the club to consider him as a full-time starter. Deeming Casas ready, the organization placed Dalbec at Triple-A Worcester, where he spent most of the 2023 season. For the WooSox, he made everyone ignore an habitually high strikeout rate; the power-hitting corner infielder mashed with a .938 OPS and 33 home runs over 114 games. In three separate stints in the majors, however, Dalbec reverted to MLB-version of himself. Surprisingly, the Red Sox haven't traded him yet, despite interest from other teams during the winter meetings. With Justin Turner in free agency, Boston needs a right-handed hitting backup, and Dalbec received a vote of confidence from manager Alex Cora and new chief baseball officer Craig Breslow during the offseason.

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

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
2017
Dalbec closed 2021 on such a high note that many thought he was on his way to a big 2022. Alas, that never materialized as Dalbec once again struggled to make contact and struggled mightily against righties leading to a demotion to Triple-A and the short side of platoons until injuries forced him into more playing time. Dalbec can still sting a baseball with the best of them, but his infrequent contact with the baseball limit the moments his bat can make a fantasy impact and he instead serves as a drag on your batting average. Doubling down on the issues is he hits down in the lineup which limits his overall run production. You do not give up on power like his in fantasy, but Boston is rumored to be looking to move on from him and that change of scenery may be just what he needs to push up the run production. Of course, excessive playing time could turn his numbers into another Joey Gallo situation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
![BOS](https://content.rotowire.com/images/teamlogo/baseball/100BOS.png?v=6)
Set to lose roster spot?
The Red Sox are expected to sign Dominic Smith after he was released by the Rays on Wednesday, per Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe, which could result in Dalbec losing his place on the major-league roster.
ANALYSIS
Dalbec was replaced as Boston's primary first baseman after the acquisition of Garrett Cooper over the weekend and could now be in danger of losing his roster spot. Dalbec is hitting .316 over his past six games but also has a 42.9 percent strikeout rate during that stretch, and his .376 OPS for the season remains abysmal. Assuming Smith does sign with the Red Sox, Dalbec is unlikely to see much playing time even if he manages to retain his roster spot.
