In 26 starts for the two affiliates, he logged a cumulative 3-11 record and 6.49 ERA with 80 strikeouts over 104 innings of work.[11]

Dalquist returned to Winston-Salem for the 2023 season, but struggled to a 3-6 record and 7.69 ERA with 60 strikeouts across 22 appearances (15 starts).[12] In 2024, Dalquist made 38 appearances out of the bullpen for Birmingham, registering a 2-3 record and 3.06 ERA with 52 strikeouts and one save over 47 innings of work.[13]

Dalquist returned to Birmingham for the 2025 season, posting a 6-3 record and 3.20 ERA with 50 strikeouts and one save in 56+13 innings pitched across 43 relief appearances. He elected free agency following the season on November 6, 2025.[14]
