With Josh Reddick (oblique) likely starting his season on the disabled list, Sogard is in line to temporarily work as the A's primary second baseman, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Ben Zobrist will replace Reddick in right field, leaving second base open for Sogard. There isn't much to be gained beyond the season's first week, as Reddick may make his debut on the A's season-opening homestand.
