  "account": "Boston Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy announced the start dates for three rehab assignments on Saturday. Trevor Story will begin with Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, followed by Roman Anthony on Tuesday in Double-A Portland and Isiah Kiner-Falefa concluding the week in Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday. Tracy expressed optimism about the trio's return, stating that they must complete the rehab assignments, which involve both physical recovery and at-bats. Story, who underwent surgery for a sports hernia on May 21, has been replaced by other players during the team's 47-32 run. Anthony, 22, has not played since tearing a tendon on May 4 and spent time at their spring training facility in Florida. Kiner-Falefa, 31, has been dealing with a left forearm stress reaction since June 19. The Red Sox strategically placed Story in Triple-A and Kiner-Falefa in Double-A to avoid overcrowding in a single minor league team. If any of the three players show readiness, the organization may adjust the assignments accordingly.",
