Rob Refsnyder hasn’t appeared in a game for the Red Sox in 13 days. On Wednesday, he’ll make his return as Boston tries to avoid a sweep against the Tigers and reigning American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal.

In a corresponding move, the Red Sox recalled second baseman Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester. Sogard made his season debut on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals, where he went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Boston's 10-1 victory. Cora praised Sogard's defensive skills, stating, 'He's a good defender. He's a good player.'

The Red Sox announced that they’ve placed infielder Romy Gonzalez on a the 10-day injured list due to a left quad contusion. Infielder Nick Sogard was recalled from Triple-A to replace Gonzalez on the active roster.

A week and a day after Triston Casas suffered a ruptured patellar tendon in his left knee, another Red Sox first baseman has landed on the injured list.

The Boston Red Sox today placed infielder/outfielder Romy Gonzalez on the 10-Day Injured List (retroactive to May 8) with a left quad contusion. To fill his spot, the club recalled infielder/outfielder Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester.

Short- and long-term questions abound: can we get (and stay) over .500? Are we capable of showing we’re better than the 2024 team? What are the roster moves Alex Cora hinted at for today? Who will play first base? How long will Devers sulk? One question answered, anyway, at least for today: it’s Nick Sogard at first.
