Trevor Story Could Return to Red Sox Earlier Than Expected This Weekend
Per Ian Browne at MLB.com, Story may rejoin Boston sooner than originally scheduled following sports hernia surgery — though nothing is finalized.
Trevor Story's return from sports hernia surgery could come ahead of schedule, potentially as soon as this weekend, per Ian Browne at MLB.com.
Story began a Triple-A rehab assignment at Worcester earlier this week, the first step in a process that was expected to take some time. That the timeline may be compressing is notable — though the operative word in Browne's report is "could," not "will."
What we don't know yet
No return date has been announced, and the Red Sox have not made a corresponding roster move. Whether Story clears the rehab assignment without setback and when exactly he might be reinstated remain unconfirmed.
Why it matters
Boston has been navigating a crowded injury ledger. Masataka Yoshida landed on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain suffered in the Aug. 14 game against the Pirates, and the club has been shuffling its roster accordingly. Story's potential early return would give the lineup a meaningful addition at a useful moment.
Watch for any roster transaction from Boston as the clearest signal that Story's weekend return is materializing.
