Trevor Story Sneaks 11th Homer Of The Year
Trevor Story is known for hammering balls deep into the stands, but his home run on Tuesday will go down as one of the lucky ones. Story drove one in the third inning that was deep enough to clear the wall in left, but just barely. Pirates left fielder Bryan Reynolds tracked the ball the whole way, but he had initially turned his body the wrong way. Reynolds made a last second switch to the other direction, leaped, and the ball solidly struck the top part of his glove. Fortunately for Story and Colorado, the awkward angle caused it to bounce out of the top of Reynolds' glove and into the stands. Story's slowed down a bit since his hot start, but he's still on pace for another 30/20 season that will further cement his position as one of the most valuable players in the game.

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.

Trevor Story Sitting On Sunday
Trevor Story is not in the starting lineup on Sunday when the Red Sox conclude a series against the Texas Rangers. Story has started each of the past three contests at shortstop. At the plate, Story went 1-for-11 with two runs, two stolen bases, and a 1:3 BB:K. As a result, David Hamilton will cover shortstop and bat eighth against Texas right-hander Jacob deGrom. Fantasy managers should expect Story to return to the starting nine on Monday when the team travels to Camden Yards to face the Baltimore Orioles. Story has battled numerous injuries over the past few seasons, but has performed well through the start of the season. He is a viable depth middle infielder in category formats, given his ability to steal bases and hit for power.
