Trevor Story Undergoes Hernia Surgery
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story underwent surgery for a sports hernia after being placed on the 10-day injured list, with an expected recovery time of six to ten weeks.
- Story struggled offensively this season, hitting .206/.244/.303 in 41 games, and had been dealing with discomfort since spring training, which may have impacted his performance.
- Injuries have limited Story's playing time since signing a six-year, $140 million contract in 2022, though he played 157 games last season with mixed results.
- In Story's absence, Andruw Monasterio has primarily filled in at shortstop, while second baseman Marcelo Mayer has expressed interest in moving back to shortstop, though his major league hitting has been underwhelming.
- The Red Sox may need to shuffle their infield defense, potentially moving Mayer to shortstop and using players like Monasterio, Nick Sogard, or Isiah Kiner-Falefa at second base to cover for the injury.
