NICK SOGARD NEWS

Gets start at third base Sogard started at third base and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Sogard led off the fourth inning with a double and scored Boston's third run. He's 3-for-7 with three doubles over the last two games, which included a turn at shortstop in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader sweep of the Twins. Sogard will operate as a utility infielder, while Romy Gonzalez, who started at third base the first three contests following Rafael Devers (shoulder) landing on the injured list, appears to be the preferred option at the hot corner.

Getting rest Monday Sogard isn't in the Red Sox's lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Sogard has gone 2-for-16 with seven strikeouts over his last five contests, and the Red Sox will now give him a chance to clear his head Monday. Enmanuel Valdez will pick up a start at the keystone as a result while batting eighth.

Getting third start in four games Sogard will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Tigers.

Impact The switch-hitting Sogard has now started in three of the Red Sox's four games since being called up from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, with the switch-hitting infielder's lone absence from the lineup coming Saturday against All-Star southpaw Tarik Skubal. While David Hamilton (finger) is on the shelf, Sogard could have the opportunity to see near-everyday playing time in the middle infield, though Romy Gonzalez and Enmanuel Valdez loom as threats to poach starts from him.

Recalled to Boston The Red Sox recalled Sogard from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday.

Impact With David Hamilton (finger) headed for the injured list, Sogard will return to the big leagues in order to replenish the Red Sox's infield depth. The 26-year-old slashed .227/.300/.250 with six RBI across 50 plate appearances during his first big-league stint earlier this month, though he's gone 8-for-24 with five RBI and seven runs scored in seven games since returning to Triple-A. He'll likely see regular playing time at second base until Hamilton is able to return.

AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Worcester The Red Sox optioned Sogard to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

Impact Sogard was promoted to the big club at the end of July and made his major-league debut Aug. 2 against the Rangers. Across 12 outings with Boston this season, he's gone 10-for-44 with nine runs scored, three steals and six RBI. His move back down to Triple-A is to make room for the reinstatement of Tyler O'Neill (leg) from the 10-day injured list.

AUGUST 17 • ROTOWIRE

Back in lineup Friday Sogard (calf) will start at second base and bat seventh in Friday's game in Baltimore.

Impact Sogard exited Wednesday's game versus the Rangers after fouling a ball off his calf and didn't play in the series opener against the Orioles on Thursday. However, he's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one.

AUGUST 16 • ROTOWIRE

Exits early Wednesday Sogard was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rangers due to an apparent injury, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Sogard took the field to begin the ninth inning, but he was later replaced at second base despite not being involved in a play. It's not immediately clear what is bothering him, but the Red Sox should offer more information once they're able to take a closer look at him.

Getting sixth straight start Sogard will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Astros, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sogard will stick in the lineup for a sixth consecutive game, this time manning third base while Rafael Devers gets a rare rest day. The rookie's previous five starts came at second base and shortstop, and the Red Sox should continue to have a near-everyday role available for Sogard in the infield while he's swinging a hot bat and while Tyler O'Neill (lower leg) is on the shelf.

AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE

Steals first career base Sogard went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 8-4 loss to the Astros.

Impact Sogard was active on the basepaths all night, reaching three times and scoring twice. He was a pest in the fourth inning, stealing his first career base and then scoring on an errant pickoff attempt. The 26-year-old has reached base in each of his first seven major-league games with two multi-hit efforts and seven runs scored.

AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE

Getting third straight start Sogard will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Royals.

Impact Sogard will pick up his third consecutive start, this time facing off against a lefty (Cole Ragans) after his prior two starts came versus right-handed pitching. Tyler O'Neill missed both of those two matchups against righties and had been viewed as day-to-day until he was placed on the injured list Wednesday with an infection in his left lower leg. With O'Neill now in line for at least a week-long absence, Sogard could have an opportunity to see continued reps versus righties after opening his big-league career with five hits and two walks through his first 18 plate appearances. However, the Red Sox brought back the left-handed-hitting Enmanuel Valdez from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move Wednesday, and he could challenge Sogard for O'Neill's vacant spot in the lineup versus righties.

AUGUST 7 • ROTOWIRE

Hits in every game Sogard started at second base and went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Monday's 9-5 win over the Royals.

Impact Sogard, who started three of the four games since having his contract selected from Triple-A Worcester, has hit safely in all three. The rookie went 4-for-12 with two walks, two RBI and three runs scored in the majors. As Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) nears the end of his rehab assignment, Sogard's days with the Red Sox could come to end by the end of the week.

AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE

Logs hit, two RBI in debut Sogard went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 11-6 win over Texas.

Impact Sogard, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, made his MLB debut. He got the start at second base over a slumping David Hamilton -- three for his last 33 with 10 strikeouts -- but Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he plans to use Hamilton against right-handers going forward, Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

AUGUST 3 • ROTOWIRE

Making major-league debut Friday Sogard is starting at second base and batting eighth against the Rangers on Friday.

Impact Sogard will make his big-league debut Friday while David Hamilton retreats to the dugout. Sogard was promoted from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, where he slashed .279/.382/.439 with 10 steals, 12 home runs and 54 RBI across 406 plate appearances. The 26-year-old will get his first taste of the majors against Rangers right-hander Jose Urena.

AUGUST 2 • ROTOWIRE

First major-league promotion The Red Sox selected Sogard's contract from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sogard is slated to start at second base against left-handed pitching and will be making his major-league debut when he gets into a game. The 26-year-old has slashed .279/.382/.439 with 12 homers and 10 steals in 89 games with Worcester this season. Sogard has experience at every position other than pitcher and catcher, so he could bounce around to different spots, if needed.
