Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story Suffers Left Shoulder Injury, MRI Scheduled for Saturday

Red Sox Shortstop Trevor Story Injured

On a dramatic night at Fenway Park, the Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story suffered an apparent left shoulder injury during the 8-6 victory against the Los Angeles Angels.

Game Incident

The injury occurred in the fourth inning when Story dove to catch a batted ball from Mike Trout. He received immediate attention from the training staff and was eventually taken off the field.

Injury Update

The Red Sox have labeled the injury as "left shoulder pain." Manager Alex Cora confirmed that Story will undergo an MRI on Saturday, which will provide more information about the extent of the injury and potential need for him to be placed on the Injured List.

Story's Performance and History

Before the injury, Story had a batting average of .241, with four runs batted in over seven games this season. Since joining the Red Sox in 2022, he has had to cope with various injuries, including surgery for his ulnar collateral ligament and a wrist fracture.

Prior to his time with the Red Sox, Story played for the Colorado Rockies, where he had a successful career with 158 home runs and 100 stolen bases, earning him two All-Star selections and a Silver Slugger Award.

Replacement Options

If Story is unable to play, the Red Sox face uncertainty at the shortstop position. Pablo Reyes took his place in the game, but other options such as Romy Gonzalez from Triple-A Worcester or top prospect Marcelo Mayer from the Double-A level are also being considered.

Team Standing

Despite the potential setback, the Red Sox finished the night with a 6-2 record, placing them in the top spot in the American League East, alongside the New York Yankees.
