In a dramatic turn of events, the Boston Red Sox have activated shortstop Trevor Story from the 60-day injured list just in time for Saturday’s game against the Chicago White Sox. The move comes as a significant surprise, considering Story’s initial injury prognosis suggested he would miss the entire season.

A Remarkable Comeback

Trevor Story, who suffered a dislocated and fractured left shoulder on April 5 while diving for a grounder against the Los Angeles Angels, underwent surgery a week later. At the time, the procedure was deemed season-ending, leaving Story’s 2024 campaign in serious jeopardy. Yet, remarkably, just over five months after the injury, Story is back in action with 21 games remaining in the season.

Story, batting seventh and playing shortstop on Saturday, returns to a Red Sox team that remains in the thick of the postseason race. Boston is currently five games behind the Minnesota Twins for the American League’s third wild-card spot, making Story’s return both timely and crucial.

The Push for a Postseason Berth

Story’s comeback is not only a testament to his resilience but also a reflection of the Red Sox’s current standings. With the playoffs within reach, Story is eager to contribute to the team’s late-season push. “A lot of it has to do with where we’re at,” Story told reporters. “It’s time to go, you know, we don’t — we really don’t have much time left.”

Impact on the Roster

In Story’s absence, Ceddanne Rafaela had stepped up to fill the shortstop role. However, with Story’s activation, Rafaela has been shifted to center field, showcasing the fluidity and depth of the Red Sox’s roster adjustments.

Story, 31, had struggled with injuries since joining the Red Sox on a six-year, $140 million contract in March 2022. His time in Boston has been marred by setbacks: he played only 94 games in 2022 due to a fractured wrist and was limited to just 43 games last season after undergoing right elbow surgery. Over his tenure with Boston, Story has posted a .227 average with 19 homers and 84 RBIs.

Before his injury this season, Story had batted .226 with four RBIs in just eight games. His return could be a game-changer as the Red Sox strive to secure a playoff spot.

Roster Moves and Adjustments

To make room for Story on the 40-man roster, Boston optioned catcher Mickey Gasper to Triple-A Worcester. Gasper had struggled, going 0-for-12 in 10 games with the Red Sox. Additionally, right-hander Isaiah Campbell, who had been recovering from elbow issues, was recalled from Worcester and placed on the 60-day IL, facilitating Story’s activation.

A Veteran’s Legacy

Before his stint with Boston, Story enjoyed a successful career with the Colorado Rockies, where he was a two-time All-Star and accumulated a .272 average with 158 home runs, 450 RBIs, and 100 stolen bases over six seasons.

As the Red Sox look to capitalize on this unexpected boost, Story’s return could be pivotal in their quest for October baseball. The veteran shortstop’s drive and experience might just be what Boston needs to close the gap and make a strong push for the postseason.
