Trevor Story Gets Injury Rehab Plan Before Red Sox Return

Trevor Story, the shortstop for the Boston Red Sox, has begun an injury rehab assignment ahead of the team's return. Despite the Red Sox's overall struggles this season, the squad has shown significant improvement. With 66 wins and only an 8.5 game deficit in the American League East, they aren't in a strong position to win the division but should still qualify for the playoffs via Wild Card.

The Red Sox are set to see key players return in the coming month, including Story, who began his rehab stint over the weekend. However, there is no clear timeline for when Story will be back on the field. After a standard Monday off day, he will join his team in Syracuse for a road trip and continue his rehab assignment, during which it is unclear if he will play any positions other than shortstop.

Though Story has faced challenges in the past, his overall performance has been solid. Playing in just 41 games this year, he managed a .206 batting average with three home runs. If the Red Sox can successfully bring Story back to his 2025 form, where he hit 25 home runs and achieved a .741 OPS, their chances of success would greatly improve.
