Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (10) reacts after an injury during the fourth inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium.
Since joining the Red Sox in March 2022, shortstop Trevor Story has had a disastrous tenure with Boston.
After playing at least 142 games with the Colorado Rockies in four seasons from 2017-21 (excluding the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign), Story was limited to 94 contests with Boston in 2022 and a career-low 43 last year due to a right UCL injury.
The two-time All-Star was looking to put his recent injury problems behind him in 2024, but he suffered a dislocated left shoulder on Friday against the Los Angeles Angels while attempting to dive for a ground ball. Story was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday.
Following ominous comments from Red Sox manager Alex Cora on Tuesday about the status of his elbow, chief baseball officer Craig Breslow told reporters that Story will have surgery to repair a fractured glenoid. Story’s timetable to return is six months, so he will miss roughly the rest of the regular season.
When Story signed a six-year, $140M deal with Boston, he was coming off a down 2021 season in Colorado, but still a year that saw him record 24 home runs, 75 RBI and 20 stolen bases. He made back-to-back All-Star teams in 2018 and 2019 while calling Coors Field home.
Story had his best season in 2018, registering career highs in home runs (37), RBI (108), hits (174), doubles (42), stolen bases (27) and slugging percentage (.567) among other categories. Story won the first of two straight Silver Slugger awards and finished eighth in the NL MVP voting.
According to reports, the Red Sox will fill the void at shortstop with various players, including new acquisition Vaughn Grissom.
The 23-year-old was acquired in a trade with the Atlanta Braves in late December for seven-time All-Star pitcher Chris Sale and cash.
