The Boston Red Sox, after dropping their previous series to the Toronto Blue Jays earlier this week, had begun a new series in MLB against the Pittsburgh Pirates this weekend. The Pirates have really struggled over the past few weeks, but it looks like the Pirates will take game one of the series, which continues the trend of the Red Sox struggling a bit lately.
During the Pirates series, the Red Sox received a piece of news about Trevor Story, which could be a good development in the upcoming weeks.

Trevor Story has been sidelined from the Red Sox since May, as he’s been dealing with a sports hernia, which usually takes a few months to heal.
Reports surfaced on Friday night that Trevor Story will begin a rehab assignment on Sunday.
“Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story is set to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, according to sources.”
The good news about Story’s rehab stint is that he shouldn’t need that much time before he returns to the Majors squad… if all goes well and he endures no setbacks.

Trevor Story has not played much with the Red Sox this season.
The 2X All-Star infielder has appeared in 41 games, and across 165 at-bats, Story batted .206 with three home runs, seven doubles, and an OPS+ of 55.
A lot has changed with the Red Sox since Trevor Story last played with the club. Boston was among the bottom feeders in the AL at the time of his injury, and now the Sox are firmly in a Wild Card position, so it will be very interesting to see how manager Chad Tracy handles Story’s playing time once he is activated off the IL.
