The Boston Red Sox continue to face challenges at first base. With Triston Casas sidelined for the season due to knee surgery, Romy González emerged as the initial replacement but has now landed on the injured list with a left quad contusion. This has forced the Red Sox to recall Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester. Gonzalez, who was making his mark with a .308 batting average and .785 OPS, showed promise but his injury is a tough setback for the team.

Sogard has struggled at the plate this season, hitting just .188, and lacks ideal experience at first base, having played mostly in other positions. With the Red Sox potentially seeking a better fit through trades, the first base situation remains fluid as the team looks to regain stability amidst ongoing injuries.
