The Boston Red Sox have promoted Nick Sogard from Triple-A to replace Alex Bregman, who is on paternity leave for the birth of his second child. Sogard will likely play in the series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. With Rafael Devers unavailable for third base, Sogard's versatility as a utility player comes in handy, as he has experience in multiple infield positions.

Bregman is expected to return for the homestand against the Chicago White Sox on Friday. Sogard had a solid stint with the Red Sox last season but has struggled at the plate in the past month with the WooSox. However, manager Alex Cora may favor Sogard's switch-hitting ability against right-handed pitcher Zack Littell.
