(Photo by Emilee Chinn\/Getty Images)Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p id=\"TQN2ZBD5L5CYDOKO33UCTQILNQ\">The Chicago White Sox have designated first baseman Bobby Dalbec for assignment.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ETY77A7ZHBBW3OTTODZ7HGNDUM\">The former Red Sox first baseman appeared in seven games for Chicago. He went 4-for-18 (.222) with a .333 on-base percentage, .278 slugging percentage, one double, one RBI, two runs, three walks and six strikeouts.<\/p>\n<p id=\"MRGIHRHDZVA2TPXKLA7NQ6R3UY\">The 29-year-old will be placed on waivers. If he clears, he will be outrighted to Triple-A Charlotte. He then could accept the outright assignment and stay in the White Sox organization or decline it and become a free agent.<\/p>\n<p id=\"PJ36UL454BDOPEUPKR3EOOPGXM\">He has the option to elect free agency because it would be his second outright assignment.<\/p>\n<p id=\"QJD3DKBX7JAAXMTYLJM6AJ5H4Q\">The Red Sox are in need of a first baseman with Triston Casas out for the rest of the season after he ruptured his patellar tendon Friday. But it\u2019s high unlikely the Red Sox and Dalbec would consider a reunion after the first baseman spent most of the 2023 and 2024 seasons with\u00a0Triple-A Worcester. He felt there was little communication about his role.<\/p>\n<p id=\"SDG5JHFNPVCFHI7YUFP54JD4EA\">\u201cJust I didn\u2019t know what the deal was or what they wanted my role to be and all that stuff,\u201d Dalbec said April 21 when the White Sox called him up during a series at Fenway Park. \u201cBut looking back on it now, I wish I didn\u2019t think about that stuff as much as I did because it\u2019s all about playing and being ready for the game and trying to eliminate those things outta my mind which I was not very good at the last couple years. I\u2019ve worked hard at that stuff and just making it about the game and playing and (about the) teammates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"267LF4LNLVG7VJN7U6GR42C6ME\">He lost his starting first base job with Boston during a disappointing 2022 season. He batted just .198 with a .269 on-base percentage, .330 slugging percentage and .599 OPS in 175 games (499 plate appearances) for Boston from 2022-24. He then signed a minor league deal with the White Sox this past offseason.<\/p>\n<p id=\"GPFHINWUKBFJHEFJ4AMCCO2SOE\">He said all the good memories in Boston \u201coutweigh the bad ones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"F7O3FJDPSVDQ5L3UFUU4DMMH5Y\">\u201cThere\u2019s no hard feelings or any of that stuff,\u201d Dalbec said. \u201cI love everybody here and I wish \u2018em all the best.\u201d<\/p>\n<section>\n<ul data-testid=\"list\">\n<li>Boston Red Sox bullpen leads league in blown saves despite closer being 4-for-4<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox ace\u2019s eventful day included first-pitch HR, liner to nose and velocity drop<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox reactions: Bullpen blows another lead, Boston falls to .500<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox\u2019 Triston Casas has knee surgery less than 48 hours after season-ending injury<\/li>\n<li>Red Sox\u2019 Walker Buehler explains why going on IL (shoulder) is \u2018embarrassing in some ways\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
