The Red Sox optioned Sogard to Triple-A Worcester on Monday.
After being called up from Triple-A on Friday, Sogard picked up one start at third base and two at the keystone while going a collective 3-for-10 with two doubles, one walk, two runs and one RBI in the Red Sox's three-game series versus Toronto. Despite his ample usage over the weekend, Sogard will end up moving back to the minors while the Red Sox clear a spot on the 26-man roster for Marcelo Mayer (personal), who was reinstated from the bereavement list.

Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Getting third straight start
Rotowire
Sogard will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
Since being called up from Triple-A Worcester on Friday to cover for Marcelo Mayer (personal), Sogard has started all three games of the series with Toronto. After going 2-for-6 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run in the first two contests, Sogard will get the nod again at the keystone over David Hamilton. The Red Sox will likely send an infielder back to the minors once Mayer is reinstated, but Sogard could end up sticking around over Hamilton or Nate Eaton, both of whom have minor-league options remaining.

Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Demoted to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Red Sox optioned Sogard to Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.
Sogard's demotion comes after Abraham Toro supplanted him as the Red Sox's preferred option at first base.

Boston called up utility player Nate Eaton from Worcester to replace Sogard on the 26-man roster.

Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Getting Sunday off
Rotowire
Sogard is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Sogard will get a breather after starting each of the last five games and going 6-for-17 with two doubles, three runs and two RBI. The 27-year-old has been seeing most of his action at first base since being promoted from Triple-A Worcester on May 10, but he could get occasional starts at third base while Alex Bregman (quadriceps) is on the shelf.
Sogard will start at third base in the afternoon game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Sogard steps in for Alex Bregman, who was removed from Friday's contest with right quad tightness. It's unclear if Bregman could be available for the second game of the doubleheader, or if manager Alex Cora will make do with Sogard or another body.

Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Logs two hits in loss
Rotowire
Sogard started at first base and went 2-for-3 in Friday's 4-2 loss to Atlanta.
Sogard made his fifth start in the last six games and is 6-for-21 since his call-up from Triple-A Worcester. He's been seeing time at first base since Triston Casas suffered a season-ending knee injury, but considering the recent news that Kristian Campbell is taking reps at first base, per Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, Sogard could see his window of playing time close in the near future.

Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Gaining traction at first base
Rotowire
Sogard will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.
Sogard will draw his fourth start in five games and looks to have settled in as Boston's preferred option at first base in the wake of Triston Casas (knee) being lost for the season and Romy Gonzalez (back) recently going on the IL. Unless the Red Sox look for help outside the organization or if Rafael Devers reverses his stance and agrees to take some reps at first base, Sogard could be in store for a regular role so long as he performs well enough at the plate to warrant the playing time.

Red Sox's Nick Sogard: Makes season debut
Rotowire
Sogard started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 10-1 win over the Royals.
Sogard was summoned from Triple-A Worcester earlier in the day and was added to the starting nine after Romy Gonzalez (back), who had been serving as the primary first baseman in the absence of Triston Casas (knee), was placed on the 10-day injured list. Sogard is a utility infielder with experience at second base, shortstop and third base, but he'll expand his resume to include first base while working in a timeshare with Abraham Toro.

Rotowire
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Sogard will be called up from Triple-A Worcester ahead of Wednesday's game at Tampa Bay, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.
Alex Bregman will head to the paternity list in a corresponding move, which means he will be unavailable for as many as three games. Sogard will give Cora another infield option while Bregman is away, but it could be Romy Gonzalez who serves as the primary replacement at third base over the next few days.
