Key Points:
- The Red Sox will have a stronger lineup soon as Trevor Story, Roman Anthony, and another key player begin Minor League rehab assignments, with Story starting at Triple-A Worcester Sunday after a sports hernia injury.
- Roman Anthony will join Double-A Portland Tuesday, marking his first game since a May 4 tendon injury in his right ring finger, and his return is expected to be highly impactful given his potential for a breakout season.
- Outfielder Jarren Duran has struggled offensively this season, and with Anthony and Masataka Yoshida (currently injured) also in the mix, Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy faces decisions on playing time distribution.
- The team’s main Trade Deadline acquisition was catcher Adley Rutschman, allowing Story a chance to reclaim his shortstop position, while prospects Andruw Monasterio and Franklin Arias provide depth and future options at shortstop.
- Tracy indicated that Story will initially play shortstop during rehab games but may play other positions like second base depending on progress and team needs.
