Trevor Story Remains Sidelined Tuesday
3 years agoBoston Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story (heel) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds. Story hasn't played since Sept. 11 due to a sore heel, but he did do some running on Sunday, so hopefully he'll be back in the lineup at some point this week. In his first year with the Red Sox, he's hitting .238/.303/.434 with 16 home runs, 66 RBI, 53 runs scored and 13 stolen bases in 357 at-bats. Enrique Hernandez will get the nod at the keystone on Tuesday and will hit seventh against Reds rookie left-hander Nick Lodolo. Hernandez has some DFS sleeper appeal in the seven-hole against the lefty, as he's hitting .257 (19-for-74) against southpaws this year and has four of his six home runs against them.

Trevor Story Scratched With Lower-Back Tightness On Friday
21 hours agoBoston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (back) was scratched from Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to lower-back tightness, according to WEEI's Rob Bradford. He'll be replaced by Nick Sogard, who will start at shortstop and bat eighth in the lineup. While it's unclear if this is just the Red Sox being cautious, but it should be noted that the 32-year-old veteran already missed a week of spring action due to a back issue. With Opening Day less than a week away, there's no guarantee that Story will be ready to play next Thursday. If Story has to start the year on the injured list, David Hamilton could begin the year as Boston's primary shortstop, with prospect Kristian Campbell serving as the starting second baseman. The oft-injured Story is a hard sell as a middle-infield option in deep-mixed leagues because of his inability to stay on the field for long periods of time.

Trevor Story Starting On Saturday
1 week agoBoston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (back) is returning to the starting lineup on Saturday afternoon. The 32-year-old will cover shortstop and bat cleanup. Story was dealing with back tightness earlier in the week but will be making a quick return to the starting lineup. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in case he faces a setback. Last season, Story was only able to appear in 26 contests due to a season-ending shoulder injury. During this brief stint, Story held a .255/.340/.394 line with seven doubles and two home runs. During the 2023 campaign, Story posted a .203/.250/.316 line across 43 games. Story has battled numerous injuries during his time in Boston but has been productive when on the field. He is worth a look as a late-round high-upside bench option in standard leagues.

Trevor Story Takes Part In Simulated Game On Thursday
1 week agoBoston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (back) has been out the last few days due to a mild back issue but returned on Thursday to take part in a simulated game in camp against right-hander Walker Buehler, according to MLB.com's Ian Browne. Story has not played in a Grapefruit League game since March 9 due to lower-back tightness, but it's nothing serious and he's expected to return to a spring game on Saturday. Barring a setback with his back, the 32-year-old veteran will open the 2025 regular season as the Red Sox's starting shortstop. The former first-rounder only played in 26 games in 2024 due to a shoulder injury that he suffered while diving for a ground ball. Injuries are part of the equation now for Story, as he hasn't played in over 94 games in his three years in Beantown. For that reason, he's viewed as middle-infield depth in mixed fantasy leagues.

Trevor Story Day-To-Day, Likely To Return Saturday
1 week agoBoston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that shortstop Trevor Story (back) is day-to-day and will most likely return to the Grapefruit League lineup on Saturday against the Atlanta Braves. As a precaution, the Red Sox scratched the oft-injured Story from the spring lineup on Tuesday due to back tightness. The 32-year-old veteran said he's already feeling much better, though, and he should be back on the field this weekend. It makes no sense for Boston to rush him back with two weeks until Opening Day. The two-time All-Star has looked good in spring training with a .458 average (11-for-24) with two home runs, four doubles and six RBI in eight games after missing most of the 2024 season due to a shoulder injury that required surgery. Since joining Boston in 2022, Story has played in a total of 163 games, which makes him a big injury risk in fantasy.
