2:50PM: The Sox officially promoted Sogard and placed Story on the 10-day IL, with Story\u2019s injury termed as a sports hernia.\u00a0 The placement is retroactive to May 15.<\/p>\n
11:55AM: The Red Sox are placing Trevor Story<\/a> on the 10-day injured list prior to tonight\u2019s game with the Braves, MassLive.com\u2019s Christopher Smith<\/a> reports.\u00a0 Infielder Nick Sogard<\/a> will be called up to replace Story on the active roster, as Tommy Cassell of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette first reported earlier today<\/a>.<\/p>\n As noted by Smith and Chris Cotillo<\/a>, Story has been dealing with a groin problem for a few weeks, dating back to Boston\u2019s April 24-26 series with the Orioles.\u00a0 Story was given a few off-days in the interim to see if some added rest could fix the problem, but the decision has been made to give the veteran at least 10 days to fully recover.<\/p>\n It\u2019s probably a wise move given Story\u2019s long injury history, and because this IL stint might serve as an unofficial reset to what has been a rough season for the 33-year-old.\u00a0 Story is hitting only .206\/.244\/.303 over his first 176 plate appearances, translating to a brutal 47 wRC+.\u00a0 Between the lack of offense and subpar metrics (-1 Defensive Runs Saved, -2 Outs Above Average) regarding his work at shortstop, Story has been playing at below replacement level, with -0.4 fWAR to show for his 41 games.<\/p>\n Story had a .585 OPS over his first 232 PA in 2025 and then an .827 OPS in his final 422 PA, so it is certainly possible he can again rebound from another slow start.\u00a0 The Red Sox certainly hope Story can more to offer since he is only in the fifth guaranteed year of a six-year, $140MM free agent deal that has yet to deliver much in the way of results.<\/p>\n Andruw Monasterio<\/a>, Isiah Kiner-Falefa<\/a>, or Sogard (who is getting his first taste of MLB action this season) could all see some time at shortstop in Story\u2019s absence.\u00a0 The Red Sox could also possibly move Marcelo Mayer<\/a> from second base over to his original shortstop position, though Mayer has yet to play anywhere but the keystone this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2:50PM: The Sox officially promoted Sogard and placed Story on the 10-day IL, with Story\u2019s injury termed as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":647361,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[201720,99,28646],"class_list":["post-647360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-nick-sogard","tag-sports","tag-trevor-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/647360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=647360"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/647360\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/647361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=647360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=647360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=647360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
