Sogard, who's only been in the starting lineup once since returning from a multi-game absence due to a foot injury, has primarily been on the bench due to physical limitations, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

It would be natural to assume Sogard's 2-for-21 tally in September was the main reason for his spot on the bench in recent games, as the versatile veteran was seemingly healthy when he returned to the lineup last Saturday. Manager Kevin Cash has confirmed otherwise, which places Sogard's availability for the remainder of the regular season somewhat up in the air. The Rays' skipper did express hope that Sogard would be fully available by this coming weekend's series versus the Red Sox, with the next 48 hours or so set to either support or undermine that notion.

Sogard remains on the bench Wednesday against the Dodgers, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Sogard may have lost his starting role at second base, as he sits even with right Tony Gonsolin on the mound for the Dodgers. Joey Wendle gets another start at second base, with Nate Lowe starting at third.

Sogard is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

The good news was that Sogard was healthy enough to make his return after his week-long absence, but his September struggles at the plate continued. The veteran utility man is just 2-for-20 since the calendar flipped from August, a month during which he hit an impressive .317.

Sogard is starting at second base and hitting seventh Saturday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

He is hitless in 11 at-bats over his last seven games -- several of those at-bats have come of late as a pinch hitter. Sogard should play three or four days per week over the rest of the season.

EDGE Analysis

Sogard hasn't started a game since fouling a ball off his foot last Friday, though he likely wouldn't have started on this occasion even if healthy with lefty Andrew Heaney on the mound for the Angels. He's appeared off the bench in each of the last three games and could do so again Friday. Daniel Robertson will start at second base.

Per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Sogard remains limited but will be available off the bench if needed.
