The Red Sox are about to make a major mistake with Trevor Story
Key Points:
- Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story began his rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester and may be activated as early as Friday against the San Francisco Giants, according to reports.
- Experts and recent examples caution against rushing Story’s return, citing poor performances from Romy Gonzalez and Adley Rutschman who were activated quickly after limited rehab time.
- Story, recovering from sports hernia surgery, had a subpar batting line of .206/.244/.303 in 41 games before his injury and has missed significant time in previous seasons.
- Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy expects Story to become the everyday shortstop and Andrew Benintendi to assume the leadoff hitter and left fielder/designated hitter roles soon.
- The article expresses skepticism about Story’s immediate impact and cautions patience, hoping to be proven wrong in the coming weeks.
