27-Year-Old ShortstopSS
Boston Red Sox
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.

Getting Sunday off
SSBoston Red Sox
May 25, 2025
Sogard is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
ANALYSIS
Sogard will get a breather after starting each of the last five games and going 6-for-17 with two doubles, three runs and two RBI. The 27-year-old has been seeing most of his action at first base since being promoted from Triple-A Worcester on May 10, but he could get occasional starts at third base while Alex Bregman (quadriceps) is on the shelf.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Pushing for MLB debut
SSBoston Red Sox
July 3, 2024
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Sogard is in the conversation to contribute at the major-league level, reports Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Sogard was acquired from the Rays in early 2021 and has never been viewed as more than a fringe prospect, but he's enjoyed a strong campaign at Triple-A Worcester this year with a .297/.409/.466 slash line through 69 games. Boston has started seven different players at second base this season, and the 26-year-old could be added to that list if the big club suffers some more injuries. He doesn't offer significant power or speed -- he totaled seven homers and 17 steals in 112 games during 2023 -- and likely wouldn't have much fantasy upside.
