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. 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 second 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 after Rafael Devers (shoulder) landed on the injured list, appears to be the preferred option at the hot corner.

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

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

The Red Sox recalled Sogard from Triple-A Worcester on Thursday. 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 could see regular playing time at second base until Hamilton is able to return.

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.
