Trevor Story's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two runs scored, and a pair of stolen bases in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Rays. It was the third multi-hit game in the last five for the 31-year-old, although he was hitless in the other two games, and is hitting .286 (10-for-35) with two home runs, four RBI, five runs scored, and four stolen bases since coming off of the IL on September 7. The veteran gave fantasy managers high hopes coming into the season healthy and having a strong spring, but it has been a lost season after missing most of the season with a dislocated shoulder. Hopefully he'll finish on a high note and take that momentum into 2025.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (shoulder) was officially activated from the 60-day IL on Saturday and will start at shortstop in Boston's matchup against the Chicago White Sox. Story is set to bat seventh against White Sox lefty Garrett Crochet. The 31-year-old has been out since early April after injuring his shoulder diving for a ball in just his eighth game of the season. His return comes at an opportune time for Boston as the Red Sox fight to gain a wild card spot. Currently 5.0 GB of a spot, Boston will need Story to perform at his 2022 levels (102 OPS+) and not what he was in 2023 (53 OPS+). Fantasy managers that are looking for help at shortstop shouldn't hesitate to add Story to their rosters, though they should exercise caution as he works back from injury. Managers with Ceddanne Rafaela should be aware that Rafaela will lose playing time with Story's return but shouldn't cut him yet as he could slide back into short if Story falters.

The Boston Red Sox are expected to activate shortstop Trevor Story (shoulder) from the 60-day injured on Saturday and put him into the lineup immediately at shortstop at Fenway Park against the Chicago White Sox and left-hander Garrett Crochet. When Story went down early in the year with a serious shoulder injury while diving for a ball at shortstop, it was considered more of a long shot that he'd return in 2024, but here we are. The 31-year-old veteran will return as Boston's starting shortstop for the stretch run as the BoSox fight for the final wild-card spot in the American League. With Story set to return this weekend, the Red Sox will move Ceddanne Rafaela to second base. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting the oft-injured Story to be a difference-maker at the plate in the fantasy postseason after such a long layoff.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (shoulder) played shortstop in a minor-league rehab game with Triple-A Worcester on Monday and went 0-for-3 at the plate. Story came out of the game after five innings, but it was the first time he had played shortstop since starting his rehab assignment on Sunday, when he served as the designated hitter. The 31-year-old veteran has gone 2-for-7 at the plate in his first two games with Worcester but is probably going to need plenty more rehab games before potentially being an option for the major-league roster towards the end of September. With time quickly running out in the regular season, fantasy managers can't realistically expect Story to make any kind of impact once he returns. In 31 at-bats earlier this year, Story was hitting .226 with no homers, four RBI and one stolen base.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (shoulder) is set to start as the designated hitter for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday. Story will then start at shortstop on Monday, take Tuesday off and then work full speed toward a return to the majors after that. This will mark the first game action for the 31-year-old since he fractured his shoulder in April. His start to the season was underwhelming, hitting just .226 in 31 AB before hitting the IL. On the heels of another injury-shortened season in 2023, fantasy managers certainly will have their concerns about Story's health going forward. However, current shortstop Ceddanne Rafaela has provided spotty production for the Red Sox, leaving the door open for Story to get consistent at-bats if he's able to return in the last few weeks of the season. Fantasy managers needing help at the shortstop position in the playoff run probably won't need to look Story's way, but in deeper leagues there may be an opportunity to stash him on your bench if needed.
