Trevor Story Expected To Join Boston Red Sox As Early As Wednesday
On Tuesday, August 25, there are three Boston Red Sox starters on rehab assignments in Worcester. Trevor Story is starting in his seventh game following a sports-hernia surgery in May.
Per beat writer Christopher Smith, Story will be re-evaluated after the game with expectations to return Wednesday against the Miami Marlins or Friday against the New York Yankees.
“Trevor Story will be re-evaluated after Tuesday’s rehab game with the potential of joining the Red Sox in Miami on Wednesday or New York on Friday, per @SmittyOnMLB,” podcast co-host Tyler Milliken said on X. “He’s 4-for-21 in 6 games with the WooSox. 5 K. 0 BB.”
“Trevor Story could join the Red Sox as soon as Wednesday, per @jcmccaffrey.”
Before Story’s injury, the 33-year-old was slashing .206/.244/.303 with 57 K in 41 games.
His return threatens utility player Mickey Gasper who is slashing .270/.350/.421 with only 22 K in the same amount of games as Story.
In Gasper’s last seven games he’s slashing .421/560/1.053 with 10 RBIs in the big leagues, whereas Story is 4-for-21 in six games in Worcester.
