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.

Reports surfaced on Friday night that Trevor Story will begin a rehab assignment on Sunday.
