Dalbec went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 9-8 win over the Blue Jays.

Dalbec hit the third Red Sox homer of the second inning, a line drive that just cleared the Green Monster and barely stayed fair. He later got aboard with a single and scored on a Rafael Devers double in the fourth. Dalbec now has two homers among his three major-league hits. He's up to three RBI and three runs scored in six games.

Wade was recalled by the Twins on Saturday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Wade spent several days at the alternate training site, but he'll return to the major-league club Saturday. The 26-year-old saw inconsistent playing time during his first stint with the team this year and hit .200 with a double and one RBI over 15 at-bats.

White went 2-for-2 with a two-run double, two walks and a run in a win over the Rangers on Friday.

White left the 0-for-9 skid he walked into Friday's resumption of play with in the dust via his stellar performance, churning out his third multi-hit effort in his last six starts. The rookie is still slashing just .179/.254/.377 for the season, but there are undeniable signs he's starting to make inroads against big-league arms. Factoring in Friday's production, White owns a .348/.423/.609 line with three doubles, one home run and 10 RBI over 26 plate appearances in his last seven contests.

Tellez went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

After going 2-for-3 with an RBI during a win in the matinee, Tellez took Chris Mazza deep in the fourth inning of the nightcap for his seventh homer of the year, getting the Jays on the board in an eventual 3-2 loss. The 25-year-old continues to make lots of loud contact, and over his last 10 games Tellez is slashing .370/.455/.741 with three home runs and seven RBI.

Mountcastle went 3-for-3 with a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in a 6-3 win over the Yankees in Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader.

Mountcastle opened the scoring with a two-run homer in the second inning. He added an RBI single in the fifth inning and came around to scored on a Pat Valaika double. Mountcastle is up to three homers, nine RBI and seven runs scored through 50 plate appearances this season. His strong hitting has earned him a near-everyday role in left field.

Guerrero isn't in the lineup for Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.

Guerrero will take a breather after going 1-for-4 with a run and two strikeouts in Friday's matinee. Rowdy Tellez will take over at first base.

Mountcastle is not in the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Mountcastle has hit the ball quite well in his first 11 major-league games, slashing .341/.400/.537. DJ Stewart will be the left fielder for the afternoon game, but Mountcastle will likely return to the lineup for the nightcap.

O'Hearn is not starting Friday against the White Sox, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

O'Hearn has just a .654 OPS this season, a near match for his .650 mark from last year. Hunter Dozier again moves in to play first base Friday, with Whit Merrifield sliding over to right field and Edward Olivares starting in center.

Dalbec is not in the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against Toronto, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Dalbec sits after starting four of the last five games. He's gone 2-for-15 with 10 strikeouts to start his big-league career. Michael Chavis will start at first base.

Dalbec started at first base Thursday and went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts in a 6-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

Dalbec has started four of five games since the Red Sox called him up from the alternate camp. As someone who could be the primary starter at first base in 2021, it makes sense Dalbec will see regular plate appearances. However, that doesn't mean they will be good plate appearances. Dalbec is hitless in his last 11 at-bats and has struck out 10 times in 15 at-bats.
