Trevor Story Could Require Hernia Surgery
Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (groin) is "seeking additional opinions about whether he needs surgery to fix his sports hernia," according to Tim Healey of The Boston Globe. If it's confirmed that he'll require hernia surgery, he'd likely miss six to 10 weeks. That's a crushing blow for the veteran infielder, who was placed on the injured list Saturday. He has now dealt with five major injured list stints since the Red Sox signed him back in 2022. Story was off to a pretty poor start at the plate this season, slashing just .206/.244/.303 with 47 wRC+ and a whopping 32.4% strikeout rate. Very few managers were relying on him in fantasy baseball, so his absence won't have enormous lineup impacts. In the meantime, we expect to see a mix of Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Andruw Monasterio at shortstop. Marcelo Mayer and Nick Sogard could also compete to play more games at short.
