The Boston Red Sox have placed first baseman Romy Gonzalez on the 10-day injured list due to a left-quad contusion, with the move effective retroactively to May 8. In reaction, they recalled Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester to share first-base duties with Abraham Toro. Manager Alex Cora expressed optimism about Gonzalez's recovery, emphasizing the short-term nature of the injury. Meanwhile, Sogard, who struggled in the minors, is poised for his season debut as the team adjusts its lineup following injuries.
"I think is a short-term thing," Boston manager Alex Cora said of Gonzalez before Saturday's game. "He wasn't bouncing back the way we expected early."
"He's a good defender," Cora said. "He's a good player. We'll mix and match with him and Toro...The two of them will be splitting first the next week or so."
