The Red Sox optioned Sogard to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.
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 games with Boston this season, he batted .227 with nine runs scored, three steals and six RBI. His playing time with the big club was set to decline with Tyler O'Neill (leg) returning from the 10-day injured list, so Sogard will head back to Worcester to get regular playing time.
