Nick Sogard News: Makes season debut

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.
