The Boston Red Sox reinstated shortstop Trevor Story from the 60-day injured list ahead of Saturday’s game against the Chicago White Sox.
Story injured his shoulder while trying to make a diving stop on a ball off the bat of the Los Angeles Angels’ Mike Trout in Anaheim on April 5. About a week later, Los Angeles Dodgers team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache performed an arthroscopic procedure on Story’s left posterior labrum.
The 31-year-old Story was an all-star and Silver Slugger Award winner in 2018 and 2019 with the Colorado Rockies.
Story is in the third season of a $140 million, six-year contract. He was hitting .226 with four RBIs in eight games. Story is a .265 hitter with 177 homers and 534 RBIs over nine major league seasons.
He was limited to 94 games in 2022 by a bruised right hand sustained when hit by a pitch from Tampa’s Corey Kluber and a bruised left heel. He played 43 games last year after having surgery in January to repair a torn UCL and didn’t make his season debut until Aug. 8.
The Red Sox optioned catcher/infielder Mickey Gasper to triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Right-handed pitcher Isaiah Campbell was also recalled from Worcester and placed on the 60-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.
