Overview
- The Red Sox announced on Friday that shortstop Trevor Story had a successful sports hernia repair performed by Dr. William Meyers at The Vincera Institute in Philadelphia.
- Story said the basic prognosis is roughly six to ten weeks, a timeline that would keep him out through June and likely into July.
- Interim manager Chad Tracy plans to move second baseman Marcelo Mayer back to shortstop while utility players Nick Sogard, Andruw Monasterio and Isiah Kiner‑Falefa provide interim coverage.
- This is Story’s third major surgery since joining Boston and he remains under a six‑year, $140 million contract, raising questions about his availability and long‑term value to the club.
- Story’s .206/.244/.303 start through 41 games means his absence deepens Boston’s offensive and depth problems and could increase urgency around short‑term lineup fixes and potential roster moves before the trade deadline.
