Overview
- Trevor Story went on the injured list Saturday with a sports hernia and is weighing treatment options, including possible surgery.
- Interim manager Chad Tracy said his talks with Marcelo Mayer about shortstop are very preliminary and that no move will be made until the team understands Story’s timeline.
- Mayer plans to take practice reps at shortstop, though he has played only second base this season and has not worked there since the offseason.
- If Mayer stays at second, Andruw Monasterio and recent call-up Nick Sogard are lined up to handle most shortstop starts in the near term.
- Mayer rose through the minors at shortstop, and Tracy praised his internal clock and smooth actions, making a longer Story absence a potential trigger for a broader infield reshuffle.
