Boston Red Sox AAA
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Sogard made his major-league debut in 2024 and appeared in 31 regular-season games for the Red Sox that year, but he wasn't able to improve on those numbers in 2025 as he spent the majority of his time with Triple-A Worcester. He put up solid numbers at the plate in Triple-A (.778 OPS with 16 steals, five homers and 28 RBI in 409 plate appearances) and translated that somewhat when called up by the parent club (.661 OPS with two steals and nine RBI in 104 major-league plate appearances). Sogard primarily played in the infield when he did suit up for Boston but showed off his versatility by playing three games at right field, and that utility will always make him a viable option to be recalled when the Red Sox are hit with an injury.

The Red Sox optioned Sogard to Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis
The 28-year-old Sogard was competing for a super-utility role for Boston but hit just .081 across 43 plate appearances this spring. Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Andruw Monasterio appear to have the upper hand on that gig for Boston.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sogard had his contract selected in the second half of 2024 and made his MLB debut. The 27-year-old appeared at every infield position while Boston dealt with injuries. He served mostly at second base, which remains a position of uncertainty leading up to the regular season. There are several candidates in camp, including hot prospect Kristian Campbell, a healthy Vaughn Grissom and David Hamilton, who started the most games at second base in 2024. Boston is also in on Alex Bregman, who almost certainly would start at the second. Sogard is unlikely to start the season as a starter and would have to make the club as a utility infielder.

Demotion on tap
1BBoston Red Sox  AAA
June 1, 2025
Sogard could lose his place on the Red Sox's 26-man roster Sunday, reports Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com.
Analysis
Sogard received three straight starts at first base from May 19-21, but Abraham Toro has dominated playing time at the position over the past week, and Boston will need a roster spot for Nate Eaton, who is expected to get a promotion from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday. Sogard hasn't made a huge impression in his 53 plate appearances this year with a .608 OPS.
