Story went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Story's two-run blast in the seventh inning was his first home run in nearly a calendar year. It was also his first extra-base hit since returning from the injured list Sep. 7. He's now slashing .226/.281/.340 with four extra-base hits and seven RBI through 14 games this season.

Story is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Orioles, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Story started the first three games upon his activation from the 60-day injured list, but he'll get a day off Tuesday. Ceddanne Rafaela will occupy shortstop for the Red Sox.

Story (shoulder) went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 7-5 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Story supplied an RBI single in the third inning to give the Red Sox a 6-2 lead in his first big-league game after missing five months due to a dislocated shoulder. Assuming he doesn't have any additional injuries, Story should be Boston's primary shortstop over the final three weeks of the campaign. He's batting .229 with no home runs, five RBI, one stolen base, one run scored and three doubles through nine games this year.

Story (shoulder) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Saturday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Story draws the start at shortstop and will bat seventh for the Red Sox on Saturday, marking the 31-year-old's first MLB showing since suffering a dislocated shoulder in early April. Story appeared in four rehab games prior to being activated and notched four hits in his final minor-league outing.

Story (shoulder) will be activated Saturday and will start at shortstop against the White Sox, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is a big surprise, as it wasn't clear that Story would be able to get by with such a brief rehab assignment. He played in four games at Triple-A and hit .375 with one steal and zero home runs. The plan is for Story to play shortstop and Ceddanne Rafaela to play second base down the stretch.

Story (shoulder) started at shortstop and went hitless in three at-bats during a rehab game for Triple-A Worcester on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Story played the field for the first time while on rehab and was pulled after five innings. He served as the designated hitter in his first rehab outing Sunday and has gone 2-for-7 between the two games. Story likely needs a couple of weeks to get his timing back at the plate, but he could be available over the second half of September as the Red Sox make a push for the postseason.

Story (shoulder) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, serving as the starting designated hitter while going 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored.

EDGE Analysis

Story is expected to start at shortstop Monday for Worcester and will likely play in a few more Triple-A games after that before the Red Sox pinpoint a date for him to return from the IL. After he dislocated his left shoulder April 5, Story was thought to be lost for the season. His outlook improved by the middle of the summer, outlook, and he's now poised to return to the majors during the second half of September.

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.
