He has 31 games of MLB experience from the 2024 season, during which he slashed .273\/.326\/.325 with four doubles. Still, Boston could use an offensive spark after its low-production loss in the series opener, and Sogard is not the player most Sox fans were hoping to see called up.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Gonz\u00e1lez&#8217;s injury makes the Red Sox&#8217;s first base situation even more precarious. Abraham Toro and Sogard are the team&#8217;s only options on the 40-man roster, as management&#8217;s conversations with Rafael Devers\u00a0about another potential position change\u00a0are still ongoing.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Red Sox move Romy Gonz\u00e1lez to 10-day IL with quad contusion, summon Nick Sogard<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"min-h-[550px]\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1921276465292755205&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fbosoxinjection.com%2Fred-sox-first-base-mess-just-got-even-worse-with-latest-injury-shuffle&amp;sessionId=76acc29b592d9a0bf154f7d0a30e841c5eee7d58&amp;siteScreenName=bosoxinjection&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1921276465292755205\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_2_5\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Refsnyder hasn&#8217;t appeared in a game since May 1 due to back tightness. The Red Sox haven&#8217;t officially moved him to the IL yet, and their corresponding move hasn&#8217;t been announced.\u00a0It won&#8217;t be Vaughn Grissom or Nate Eaton\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Grissom is expected to rejoin Triple-A Worcester&#8217;s lineup today after a three-day absence and Eaton is still with the WooSox, as well.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Cora said Boston may summon a few relievers after using seven in its 12-inning, 2-1 loss in Kansas City last night. Josh Winckowski and Zack Kelly are on the 40-man roster and could be the easiest candidates.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The Sox&#8217;s May 10 game against the Royals could be another rubber match like the night before. Garrett Crochet will take the mound, hopefully with more run support than Boston gave Hunter Dobbins. Cole Ragans will have the start for Kansas City.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas Rangers v Boston Red Sox | Jaiden Tripi\/GettyImages After the Boston Red Sox&#8217;s low-scoring extra innings loss to the Kansas City Royals Friday night, Alex Cora&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47333,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
