MLB: Adjustments? With Three Lost Starters, Bobby Dalbec Debuts In A New Position And Alex Cora Explains Why

Christian Arroyo was in too much sore to start Wednesday’s game. In last Tuesday’s loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, the versatile Arroyo slid to first base on a failed quest for an infield hit.

By Wednesday, he had sore back and knee and was too sore to play. With Xander Bogaerts and Tommy Pham already out with back injuries, Red Sox manager Alex Cora rearranged their lineup in a unique way, which gave Bobby Dalbec’s first career start at shortstop:

So why shortstop Dalbec instead of of the birthday boy Kiké Hernández, who celebrated his 31st birthday starting at second base? Hernandez has made 61 career starts for him as a shortstop. This was Dalbec’s first.

He’s played that side most of the time in the at-bat, so I know we always talk about him playing second base in an emergency, but you have to make double plays, you have to do all those things, so I asked him if he’s comfortable on that side and we go with him shortly”.

I am a fan of the King of Sports, especially the Boston Red Sox in MLB and all Mexican baseball in general. This profession has given me the opportunity to cover major events such as the Caribbean Series, LMB All Star, LMP (uninterruptedly since 2009), signatures of important players. I had the chance to attend the 2013 World Classic in Arizona, USA, although as a fan. Apart from this beautiful sport, I love basketball, where I have also narrated games and even an NBA friendly 10 years ago, but I have baseball in my veins. Degree in Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS) , from which I graduated in 2011. I was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa and started in the world of sports journalism in 2004 in the newspaper El Sol de Mazatlán, where I was a baseball columnist and a reporter at the same time. In January 2009 I arrived at El Debate as a journalist reporter and it was almost six years (in the first stage), until in November 2014 I emigrated to the radio providing my services at Línea Directa-Grupo RSN. My cycle there ended in July 2019 and a few days later, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. That is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
