Red Sox's Trevor Story to Undergo Season-Ending Surgery for Shoulder Fracture
After just eight games, Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story's season is over.
Story will undergo surgery to repair a fractured glenoid, Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow told reporters Tuesday afternoon—a procedure that will knock him out for the rest of 2024.
As Breslow noted, the recovery time for such a surgery is about six months.
In his abbreviated '24 season, Story slashed .226/.294/.323 with four RBIs.
Since signing a six-year, $140 million contract with Boston on March 23, 2022, Story has struggled mightily to stay on the field. He played just 94 games in '22—at the time a career low for a non-pandemic season—and 43 in 2023.
The Irving, Texas native made his name with the Colorado Rockies from 2016-21. With the Rockies, he made two All-Star teams, received MVP votes in three different years, and helped the team make its two most recent playoff apperances.
The Red Sox are currently 7-3, second in the AL East and a game and a half behind the first-place New York Yankees.
