Story (shoulder) will begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Story will begin his assignment as the designated hitter, and barring any setbacks, he will move to playing in the infield. The 31-year-old dislocated his left shoulder just eight games into the regular season, and the procedure to repair the injury was thought to be season-ending. However, Story has been ramping up his activity since after the All-Star break, and he will take the next step in his rehab program Sunday. He will need several at-bats and fielding reps before being reinstated off the 60-day injured list, but a return to the majors before the end of the season is not off the table.

The Red Sox plan to soon map out a plan for Story's (shoulder) rehab assignment, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

There are no dates set yet, with Story saying Friday only that he expects to begin playing in rehab games sometime in September. The shortstop has taken live batting practice and gone through other baseball activities as he tries to complete a quicker-than-expected return from his mid-April surgery for a fractured left shoulder. Given the length of his absence, he would figure to require a good number of rehab at-bats. Of course, the Red Sox might not have the luxury of giving him as many rehab games as he would ideally need, considering how much time is left in the season.

Story (shoulder) is continuing to make progress in his rehab, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Cotillo fails to provide much substance on the progress of Story's rehab, it's positive news that the veteran shortstop hasn't suffered any setbacks to this point. It remains a mystery as to whether the 31-year-old will be cleared for action down the stretch of the 2024 season, though he'd likely need to see reps against live pitching soon to have a chance at a return this year.

Story (shoulder) will take batting practice on the field Monday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Story underwent surgery for a fractured left shoulder in mid-April and the feeling at the time was that it was likely to end his 2024 campaign. However, the shortstop's rehab has come along more quickly than expected and Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Friday that he's "truly believing" Story will make it back before the end of the season. There are still many hoops for Story to jump through, of course, and there is no timetable for his return, but it's an exciting development for the Red Sox.

Story (shoulder) told reporters Friday that there is a chance he could return for the playoffs should the Red Sox make the postseason, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After playing in just eight games at the beginning of the year, Story underwent arthroscopic surgery for a dislocated left shoulder and was transferred to the 60-day injured list April 18. The procedure was thought to be season-ending at the time, but Story relayed Friday that his doctor said there's a chance that the veteran shortstop could play again this year, per Alex Speier of The Boston Globe. Regardless of whether he returns, Story may not see much playing time, given that Ceddanne Rafaela has stepped into the Red Sox's starting shortstop job. Story has played in just 145 regular-season games since joining Boston in 2022 due to various injuries.

Story (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move was strictly procedural, as Story has already been ruled out for the rest of the 2024 season. The transaction opened a 40-man roster spot for the newly acquired Vladimir Gutierrez.

Story will undergo season-ending surgery Friday to repair a fractured glenoid in his left shoulder, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Story suffered that injury as well as a subluxation when he landed awkwardly after attempting a diving stop on a grounder during a game Friday. The recovery timetable for the surgery is six months, which will end Story's 2024 season but should give him a shot to be ready at the start of the 2025 campaign. Story will have played just 145 of a possible 486 games (31 percent) in three seasons with the Red Sox after signing a six-year, $140 million contract. Boston is expected to use a platoon of David Hamilton and Romy Gonzalez at shortstop for the time being.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Tuesday that there is concern about the bone structure in Story's left shoulder and surgery might be required, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Story is dealing with a subluxation and the worry after an exam in Boston with team doctors is that he might have additional damage. He will receive a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Friday, after which more will be known about his long-term prognosis. Story has not yet been ruled out for the season, but if surgery is needed, it's expected to be a season-ending procedure.

Story (shoulder) said Saturday he hopes to play again this year but indicated there's a chance he's out for the season, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a dislocated left shoulder and is without an official timetable for his return, but it appears he could be out for most or all of the season. Story is undergoing a more extensive evaluation Monday in Boston, which should shed more light on the length of his absence. Pablo Reyes and David Hamilton are the likely favorites to fill in at shortstop for the Red Sox.

Story was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Red Sox on Saturday with a dislocated left shoulder, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Story suffered the injury during Friday's game against the Angels when he landed awkwardly after attempting a diving stop on a grounder. He will undergo a more extensive exam Monday in Boston, during which he'll be checked for potential labrum damage. A determination could be made then if he needs surgery or will attempt the rest and rehab route. Pablo Reyes is starting at shortstop Saturday and David Hamilton -- who replaced Story on the active roster -- could also see some action at short.
