Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (shoulder) underwent successful surgery on Friday to repair a fractured glenoid in his left shoulder. When diving for a ball on the infield, the 31-year-old suffered a left-shoulder subluxation on April 5 versus the Los Angeles Angels. Story is expected to miss the rest of the season, but it gives him a chance to be ready for the start of the 2025 campaign. Since signing a six-year, $140 million contract with the Red Sox in 2022, Story has been limited to 145 games over the past three seasons. David Hamilton will see an uptick in at-bats with Story sidelined. Hamilton is a speculative add-in deep-leagues after slashing .214/.267/.429 with a home run and a stolen base over five games in 2024.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (shoulder) will have surgery on his fractured shoulder on Friday, according to general manager Craig Breslow. Story's recovery will be somewhere in the neighborhood of six months. The 31-year-old suffered a left-shoulder subluxation last Friday against the Los Angeles Angels when diving for a ball on the infield, and now he's going to miss the rest of the 2024 season. It's a tough blow for Story, who got a late start to last season due to surgery on his right elbow. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues can safely drop Story at this time. In the meantime, the recently recalled Romy Gonzalez will platoon at the 6 with David Hamilton, although Vaughn Grissom (groin, hamstring) could also see reps at the position when he returns from the injured list. At best, Gonzalez and Hamilton are AL-only pickups for middle-infield depth.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said there is concern about the bone structure of shortstop Trevor Story's shoulder after he dislocated his left shoulder last Friday against the Los Angeles Angels while diving for a ball in the infield. Story is going to Los Angeles to get a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Thursday. The 31-year-old could require surgery to fix the subluxation in his shoulder, and while there's no exact timetable for when he might return, going under the knife could potentially keep Story out for the rest of the 2024 season. Because nothing is official yet, fantasy managers shouldn't straight up drop Story, but you should be prepared for an extended absence either way. In the meantime, the Red Sox are planning for a platoon at short between Romy Gonzalez and David Hamilton. Eventually, Vaughn Grissom (groin, hamstring) could also be an option at the 6.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (shoulder) may not be able to return this season after suffering a serious injury on Friday. The 31-year-old said he has hopes for playing again in 2024 but emotionally acknowledged that there is no guarantee. Story is already on the 10-day injured list and will visit a specialist on Monday to determine if there's any labrum damage in his shoulder. Regardless, it already seems like he will be out for a heavily extended period of time. In his absence, infielder David Hamilton was called up from Triple-A Worcester. Fantasy managers in need of speed could look to add the 26-year-old as he stole 57 bases in the minors last season.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder dislocation. Story will be re-evaluated on Monday to determine if there's any labrum damage. The Red Sox called up infielder David Hamilton from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Story exited Friday's game early with a shoulder injury. He underwent an MRI on Saturday, which revealed a left shoulder dislocation. The 31-year-old was off to a rocky start this season, slashing .226/.294/.323 with four RBI and a run scored over eight games. According to Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow, it's too early to know if Story will need surgery or when he will return. Hamilton will fill in at shortstop for the Red Sox and should see an uptick in at-bats while Story is sidelined. Hamilton is a speculative add in most leagues, but fantasy managers searching for speed can look to add the 26-year-old after he stole 57 bases in Triple-A in 2023.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (shoulder) injured his left shoulder on a diving play in the bottom of the fourth inning on Friday night against the Los Angeles Angels and was writhing in pain on the ground. After being looked at by a trainer for a while, Story walked off the field with his left arm dangling at his side with a dejected look on his face. It looked like the 31-year-old may have popped his shoulder out of socket, but fantasy managers should check later Friday night or Saturday morning for more details on the severity of his shoulder injury. Story didn't make his 2023 debut until August due to an internal-brace procedure on his right elbow, and he could be looking at extended time on the sidelines again. Pablo Reyes replaced Story at the 6 and figures to be looking at expanded playing time with Story likely headed to the injured list. Boston's top prospect is shortstop Marcelo Mayer, but he's currently at Double-A and likely needs a bit more seasoning on the farm.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, and a run scored in Monday's 9-2 Grapefruit League win over the Rangers. Story's bat has caught fire of late, as he's collected at least one hit in six straight games while going 9-for-18 (.500) over that span. The two-time All-Star is now 18-for-48 (.375) in Grapefruit League action with four doubles, three home runs, 14 RBI, six runs scored, and even three stolen bases. It appears the 31-year-old is fully recovered from last season's elbow surgery as well as the neck stiffness that he experienced earlier this spring. He's not a top-12 option at SS, but with his power and ability to steal bases, he's got the upside (and momentum) to easily outperform his NFBC ADP of 173 overall.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story was scratched from Thursday's lineup versus the Atlanta Braves due to Neck Stiffness. MassLive.com reporter Chris Cotillo relayed that the ailment is nothing to worry about as the scratch was precautionary. The veteran returned from elbow surgery last season and limped to a .203 average with three home runs and a .566 OPS in 43 games, albeit with 10 stolen bases. That said, Red Sox hitting coach Peter Fatse spoke highly of Story who was afforded a fully healthy offseason, saying "he looks great" in February. Indeed, Story is a nice bounce-back candidate who should provide a quality combination of power and speed as ATC projects 18 home runs and 20 stolen bases from the 31-year-old in 2024. He shouldn't be considered a primary shortstop but rather an asset in leagues with middle-infield spots.

Boston Red Sox hitting coach Peter Fatse has liked what he's seen out of shortstop Trevor Story this offseason. "He looks great," Fatse said. "He's moving well, and those are the signs you want to see at this point. He's explosive, I think his offseason program was really good and it's the first time in three years he's had an offseason structure like this. I think that's going to be huge for him." Story was coming off elbow surgery last year and admitted he was basically trying to just survive in the batter's box in 2023. But he's now back to full health and enjoying his first normal offseason since joining Boston in March of 2022. Fatse thinks with more consistent at-bats and a less-chaotic routine, Story could get back to being the prolific run producer he was in Colorado. The 31-year-old should be able to help in the stolen base department, but he's a huge injury risk at a premier position.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story collected four hits Sunday afternoon against the Detroit Tigers. The newly-activated infielder had three doubles and a single while also stealing two bases and scoring twice. The big game sent Story's batting average up to .368 and he sits with a .979 OPS in the early going for his season numbers.

Boston Red Sox infielder Trevor Story is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers. Story, who made his season debut on Friday, has been recovering from offseason elbow surgery and will likely get routine off days in an effort to manage his workload. He went 2-for-4 with a stolen base on Friday, which was encouraging to see. Pablo Reyes is starting at shortstop and batting sixth in his place on Saturday. Story should be back out there for Sunday's series finale.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) is starting at shortstop and is hitting in the three-hole for Boston in his 2023 season debut on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Brady Singer. Story was activated from the 60-day injured list earlier on Tuesday after finally recovering from surgery on his right elbow in January. The 30-year-old hasn't played in an MLB game since last September, so fantasy managers may want to expect some initial rust, although he did look good at the plate during his minor-league rehab assignment. Story was about league average when healthy in 2022 in Boston, but he also dealt with injuries along the way. He'll be the team's everyday shortstop and could provide fantasy managers with decent counting stats the rest of the way.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) decided that he's ready and will be activated from the 60-day injured list on Tuesday. Story will make his 2023 debut against the Kansas City Royals after finishing up a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester. The 30-year-old looked good at the plate in 13 rehab games in the minors, so hopefully he can produce right away for fantasy managers that have kept him stashed or have recently picked him up off the waiver wire. Boston will likely build in scheduled off days for Story upon his return, but there's no doubt from the Red Sox coaching staff that he will operate as the team's starting shortstop the rest of the season.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) will take the full 20 days on his minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester, according to manager Alex Cora. Story's rehab assignment expires on Wednesday, so the earliest he will make his 2023 debut for Boston will be on Thursday against the visiting Kansas City Royals. The 30-year-old is attempting to return from surgery on his right elbow. Given his long layoff -- he hasn't played in the majors since last September -- the Red Sox wanted to give him plenty of time to get his timing down in the minors. Story has looked pretty good on his rehab assignment, and he's going to step in immediately as Boston's starting shortstop when he comes off the 60-day injured list next week.

Boston Red Sox infielder Trevor Story (elbow) will serve as the designated hitter for Saturday's rehab game with Triple-A Worcester. The team plans on having Story play shortstop on Sunday before a day off on Monday. It sounds like the 30-year-old is making progress, but probably won't hit his goal of 20 rehab games. The expectation is that Story is going to rejoin the Red Sox roster at some point next week. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire and make sure Story isn't sitting there.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) won't be activated from the injured list on Friday. Cora pumped the brakes on a potential return this weekend for Story on Tuesday, but the 30-year-old's minor-league rehab assignment will be up next week regardless, so fantasy managers should expect him back then. Boston is taking their time with Story, who hasn't played in the big leagues since last September. In nine rehab games with Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester, he's gone 6-for-24 with three home runs, a double, six RBI, a stolen base and five runs scored. When he comes off the IL next week, Story is going to operate as Boston's starting shortstop for the rest of the 2023 season.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora has pumped the brakes on shortstop Trevor Story's (elbow) return from the injured list this weekend. There's a chance Story makes his 2023 season debut this weekend, but either way, his minor-league rehab clock runs out on Aug. 9, so he'll be back next week one way or another. The Red Sox aren't going to rush the 30-year-old veteran back as their starting shortstop since he hasn't played in a major-league contest since last September. Until he's back, Yu Chang should continue to operate as the starter at the 6 in Beantown. Story will be the team's everyday starter at the position when he comes back, although the Red Sox could build scheduled off days into his schedule early on.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said the team will consider bringing shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) back this weekend. Story is playing shortstop, designated hitter and shortstop again the next three days on his minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester. It's possible the Red Sox bring him back sooner, but his timing is off at the plate and they want to make sure he's fully ready when he makes his 2023 big-league debut. The 30-year-old has gone 2-for-8 with a home run in three rehab games with Double-A Portland. The two-time All-Star hasn't played for Boston since late last season, so fantasy managers may want to temper expectations for him once he's back. The good news is that he's going to operate as the team's starting shortstop immediately upon his return.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) had his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester moved to Monday. The 30-year-old went 2-for-8 with a homer and a 5/2 K/BB ratio in three games at Double-A Portland. The expectation is that he'll play close to 20 games in the minors to prepare himself for the big leagues. The two-time Silver Slugger has been sidelined all season after undergoing elbow surgery. It sounds like he should be available at some point in August. Fantasy managers should make sure he's not sitting around on the waiver wire.

Boston Red Sox infielder Trevor Story (elbow) crushed a three-run home run in his rehab debut appearance at Double-A Portland on Friday. The 30-year-old ended up seeing five innings of action defensively at shortstop. Story is scheduled to function as the designated hitter on Saturday before getting another turn at short on Sunday. There is a 20-day window for Story's assignment, but fantasy managers are running low on time to make sure the two-time Silver Slugger isn't floating around waiver wires at this stage. He is still available in over half of Yahoo leagues.
