Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Trevor Story, 33-year-old Red Sox shortstop, placed on 10-day injured list (dated May 15) with a sports hernia. Story has struggled significantly in 2026, batting .206 with a .244 OBP and .303 SLG through 38 games. He has committed 6 errors (tied for most in AL at shortstop) and struck out 55 times in 155 at-bats with only 7 walks (.520 OPS). The injury comes after he dealt with a groin issue throughout the season. Story showed promise late in 2025 (.263 BA, 25 HR, 96 RBI) but has failed to carry momentum into 2026. Nick Sogard called up from Triple-A Worcester to fill roster spot.
