Sogard was removed from Wednesday's game against the Rangers due to calf tightness, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sogard fouled a ball off his leg during his at-bat in the eighth inning and felt his calf tighten up on him while in the field during the ninth frame. It's unclear if he'll be available for Thursday's series opener against Baltimore.

Sogard will start at third base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Astros, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sogard will stick in the lineup for a sixth consecutive game, this time manning third base while Rafael Devers gets a rare rest day. The rookie's previous five starts came at second base and shortstop, and the Red Sox should continue to have a near-everyday role available for Sogard in the infield while he's swinging a hot bat and while Tyler O'Neill (lower leg) is on the shelf.

Sogard went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 8-4 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Sogard was active on the basepaths all night, reaching three times and scoring twice. He was a pest in the fourth inning, stealing his first career base and then scoring on an errant pickoff attempt. The 26-year-old has reached base in each of his first seven major-league games with two multi-hit efforts and seven runs scored.

Sogard will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Sogard will pick up his third consecutive start, this time facing off against a lefty (Cole Ragans) after his prior two starts came versus right-handed pitching. Tyler O'Neill missed both of those two matchups against righties and had been viewed as day-to-day until he was placed on the injured list Wednesday with an infection in his left lower leg. With O'Neill now in line for at least a week-long absence, Sogard could have an opportunity to see continued reps versus righties after opening his big-league career with five hits and two walks through his first 18 plate appearances. However, the Red Sox brought back the left-handed-hitting Enmanuel Valdez from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move Wednesday, and he could challenge Sogard for O'Neill's vacant spot in the lineup versus righties.

Sogard started at second base and went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in Monday's 9-5 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Sogard, who started three of the four games since having his contract selected from Triple-A Worcester, has hit safely in all three contests. The rookie has gone 4-for-12 with two walks, two RBI and three runs scored thus far during his brief time in the majors. As Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) nears the end of his rehab assignment, Sogard's days with the Red Sox could come to end later in the week.

Sogard went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 11-6 win over Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Sogard, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, made his MLB debut. He got the start at second base over a slumping David Hamilton, but Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he plans to use Hamilton against right-handers going forward, Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Sogard is starting at second base and batting eighth against the Rangers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Sogard will make his big-league debut Friday while David Hamilton retreats to the dugout. Sogard was promoted from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, where he slashed .279/.382/.439 with 10 steals, 12 home runs and 54 RBI across 406 plate appearances. The 26-year-old will get his first taste of the majors against Rangers right-hander Jose Urena.
