A nightmare season for Trevor Story is turning even uglier.
The Red Sox shortstop is headed to the injured list with a strained groin,Story, 33, reportedly has been battling tightness in his groin all season and sat out Friday’s 3-2 series-opening road loss in 10 innings to the Braves.
The infielder and the team can only hope that perhaps this time away can help him return to form in what has been a miserable year for a $25-million-per-season player. Following last year’s resurgent 3.8-fWAR season, Story is hitting a career-low .206 with a .244 on-base percentage and a career-worst .303 slugging percentage. The groin has seemingly affected him when he’s been on the bases, with just four steals in as many attempts spanning 41 games.
Story recently expressed optimism he would get on track.
“It’s tough to go through in the moment, but I have confidence that I can do it because I’ve done it before,”. “Takes one game, takes one pitch. And I’m always optimistic about it. I’m not gonna sit here and pout about it.
I’m not gonna sit here and feel sorry for myself. Story has also hurt Boston in the field, committing six errors to go along with a minus-one defensive runs saved mark and a minus-two outs above average output, Boston is calling up Nick Sogard to fill his roster spot, per The Athletic, and Boston could turn to former Yankee infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa at shortstop or shift Marcelo Mayer from second base.
