The Red Sox recalled Dalbec from Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Dalbec was optioned down to Triple-A on Monday, but he is back with the Red Sox four days later after the team placed RHP Isaiah Campbell on the 15-day injured list. Dalbec went 1-for-7 with a solo home run and one walk over his two games with Worcester. With Rafael Devers (shoulder) out for Friday's game against the Angels, Dalbec will start at third base and bat fifth in the lineup.

The Red Sox placed Campbell on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right shoulder impingement, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

Campbell gave up six runs in one inning during Thursday's loss against Baltimore, and his shoulder injury could help explain his poor performance. He'll now be sidelined for the next couple of weeks, and Bobby Dalbec will come up from Triple-A Worcester to take the right-hander's spot on the active roster.

Bieber underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Friday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

Bieber's procedure will officially close the book on his 2024 campaign after he made just two starts, striking out 20 batters across 12 scoreless innings. His absence will likely extend several months into the 2025 campaign.

Diaz signed a minor-league contract with the Astros on Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Diaz elected free agency Thursday after being DFA'd by Houston on Monday, and he will now return to the Astros organization after exploring his options on the open market. The 29-year-old righty will report to Triple-A Sugar Land, after posting a 5.05 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 2023 at that level as part of the Tigers' farm system.

Abreu isn't in the Astros' lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Abreu has managed just one hit in 18 at-bats across his last six games, so he'll sit down for the second time in a row Friday. Jon Singleton will take his place at first base while batting fifth.

McCormick isn't starting Friday's game against Texas due to a hamstring injury, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

McCormick is still available off the bench for Friday's contest, so his hamstring injury is likely minor. Mauricio Dubon will start in left field instead and bat seventh.

Bregman isn't in the Astros' lineup Friday due to an illness, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Bregman has gone 7-for-19 with an RBI across his last four games, but he will sit down Friday as he recovers from an illness. Grae Kessinger will take over at third base and bat ninth, and he could be in line for more starts should Bregman have to miss multiple games.

Sano is not in the lineup for Friday's game at Boston, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Sano started three of the past four games but went 2-for-12 with a walk and seven strikeouts during that span. Brandon Drury will receive a turn as the Angels' designated hitter while Luis Rengifo starts at the keystone.

Moniak is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Moniak started the previous five games and will take a seat after going 4-for-21 with eight strikeouts during that stretch. Aaron Hicks will man right field and bat fifth Friday at Boston.

Canzone isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

The Cubs will send southpaw Jordan Wicks to the bump for Friday's contest, so Canzone will retreat to the dugout for the start of the game. His absence will allow Dylan Moore to pick up a start in left field and bat eighth.
