Davastating News For Trevor Story & Red Sox

It was a tremendous play at short, as Trevor Story laid out and overextended as far as he could to make the diving stop, but it wound up as a devastating blow for the Boston Red Sox and Story, as a "significant" shoulder injury will take him out for the majority—if not all—of this season.

RIP to the Red Sox 2024 season.

Story himself called it a "significant" injury.

Trevor Story says he has a "significant" injury involving his shoulder.

Still hopes to play again this year.

"It was kind of a freak thing... It was a significant injury and I think we're waiting to get all the opinions." Asked if he still hoped to play again this season, he looked emotional and downtrodden, but said, "yeah, there's always hope for that."

It's being called a left shoulder subluxation (separation) and they won't know whether or not surgery will be required until further examinations on Monday.

The Red Sox have recent evidence of shoulder subluxations that required season-ending surgery (Miguel Bleis last year) and others that healed with rehab (Papelbon in '06 comes to mind). They'll figure that out - and whether there's labrum damage - in an exam in Boston on Monday.

Story's injury troubles since coming to Boston two years ago have allowed him to play just 137 of a possible 324 games (42%) over the 2022 & '23 seasons, and now just 8 games this year. He's hit just .227 with the Red Sox with an 86 OPS+ over that time span, but his defense at short will surely be missed, along with his offensive potential. He has a career 177 home runs and an .834 OPS.
