Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Sogard was scratched from Friday's Grapefruit League lineup against the Tigers due to illness, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

He should be ready to go in a day or two. Sogard is fighting to win a reserve role with the Red Sox.

Sogard is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Sogard had started five of the last seven tilts, seeing action at both second base and right field. He'll take a seat Wednesday, as Romy Gonzalez will occupy the keystone and Rob Refsnyder will patrol right field.

Sogard is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Sogard had started at right field or second base in four of the Red Sox's last five games, but he'll hit the bench Sunday while Rob Refsnyder and Romy Gonzalez occupy those respective positions. Since being called up from Triple-A Worcester on Sept. 3, Sogard has gone 7-for-21 with two doubles, two runs, one stolen base and four RBI in six games. He could continue to see fairly steady at-bats until the Red Sox get Wilyer Abreu (calf) back from the injured list.

Sogard is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Sogard had started each of the previous three contests -- including two in right field -- but he will begin Friday's festivities on the bench. Nate Eaton will patrol right field and bat eighth in the series opener.

The Red Sox recalled Sogard from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday. He'll start at second base and bat eighth in the Red Sox's series finale with the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Sogard will be joining the 28-man active roster as a replacement for outfielder Roman Anthony, who was placed on the injured list with an oblique strain, which is likely to keep him out for the remainder of the regular season. Though the Red Sox have two openings in the everyday lineup with Anthony and Wilyer Abreu (calf) on the shelf, Sogard won't necessarily be in store for a full-time role. Sogard's status as a switch hitter along with his ability to play multiple infield and outfield spots could work in his favor if the Red Sox elect to take a platoon approach to either of the vacant lineup spots, however.

The Red Sox will recall Sogard from Triple-A Worcester if Roman Anthony (oblique) requires a stint on the 10-day injured list, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Sox are awaiting MRI results on Anthony's left oblique, but they have Sogard on standby in case a roster move is required. Kristian Campbell could also be in consideration for a promotion if Anthony faces an extended absence, but Sogard will be the team's initial choice to replace the star rookie.

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

EDGE Analysis

Sogard was called up from Worcester on Friday and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a steal while starting at second base in a loss to Pittsburgh. However, he'll end up spending just one day with Boston before heading back down. Sogard's demotion made room on the 26-man roster for Nathaniel Lowe to be reinstated off the paternity list.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
