Trevor Story Doubles Twice On Wednesday
Trevor Story notched his third multi-hit game of the year against the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. He went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles and three RBI in the game. Story is off to an extremely underwhelming start to his Red Sox career. Through 20 games, he's slashing .221/.307/.312 with seven doubles, nine RBI and eight runs. He's still searching for his first home run in a Red Sox jersey. The 29-year-old has some concerning underlying metrics, including a 32% hard-hit rate, down from 42.6% last year. He has an xSLG of just .343, which ranks in the bottom 18% of the league. Hopefully Story can get things together soon. Fantasy managers should resist trading him for pennies on the dollar while his season-long stats look as ugly as they do right now.

Trevor Story Mashes Pair Of Three-Run Homers
Trevor Story had a monster day at the dish on Friday, going 3-for-4 with a pair of homers, three runs scored, and six RBI. He started his day with a three-run bomb in the first inning, and then put a capper on it with another three-run shot in the seventh. Don't look now, but Story has a very impressive .321 AVG and .876 OPS to go along with 10 runs, five homers, 14 RBI, and six swipes. Fantasy managers have gotten all they could ask for and more from the late-round pick, and if he can stay healthy he should be a steal this season. He should be owned and started in all leagues at this point.

Trevor Story Homers In Three-Hit Day
Trevor Story carried the offense on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, and three RBI in a 3-1 win over the White Sox. It was his third home run of the season, and he's now slashing .308/.328/.477 on the year. He's also shown great success on the base paths, collecting six steals thus far. He's struggled to stay healthy over the past few years, but he clearly still has that 20-20 upside that made him an elite shortstop for all those years in Colorado. He's worth an add in fantasy leagues as a solid middle infield option.

Trevor Story Picks Up Two Hits, Two Steals In Walk-Off Win Over Blue Jays
Trevor Story went 2-for-5 with two singles, an RBI and two stolen bases in the team's 4-3 walk-off win against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday at Fenway Park, but it was his squibber off the end of the bat to second base with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th inning that ended up being the difference. Toronto second baseman Andres Gimenez bobbled the exchange to get the force out at home plate, allowing the winning run to score for the Red Sox. The 32-year-old Story is now hitting .264 on the season with a below-average .687 OPS in 14 games played, but he has turned it around since picking up only two hits in his first 15 at-bats. The two-time All-Star is trying to fend off shortstop prospect Marcelo Mayer this year and hasn't played in over 100 games since 2021 due to injuries. Story's high strikeout rate will continue to be a problem if he can stay healthy.

Trevor Story Homers In Wednesday's Win
Trevor Story turned in a big game in a 3-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. Story went 3-for-4 with a solo homer to help power Boston to the victory over their division rivals. The veteran shortstop took Baltimore starter Zach Eflin deep in the second inning on a blast that traveled 394 feet with an exit velocity of 102.2 MPH. Story has been off to a slow start this season as he had just two hits coming into the game. He will hope his three-hit performance on Wednesday jump-starts his bat going forward.
