Red Sox Doomed to Make Same Mistake for Third Time This Season
Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story claims he could return on Friday, which would follow an unsuccessful path.
The Boston Red Sox find themselves doomed to repeat the same mistake for the third time this season, as Trevor Story made headlines by expressing his potential activation by Friday against the San Francisco Giants. Story's resurfacing marks the third time this season that the organization has activated an injured player within a week of starting rehab assignments, a trend that defies the adage "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
The Red Sox are grappling with a weak middle infield, yet their approach of relying on players like Story, who have a history of injury and poor performance, leaves much to be desired. Meanwhile, other options such as Andruw Monasterio and Franklin Arias offer intriguing possibilities, but the risk of promoting them could prove to be detrimental.
With a dismal .206/.244/.303 batting average, Story's return could only further exacerbate the team's struggles, as they've averaged just 3.5 runs per game in their last nine contests.
