NEW YORK -- Boston Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a bruised right hand.
Story's IL stint is retroactive to Tuesday, when he was struck on the hand while swinging at a pitch from Tampa Bay's Corey Kluber. He'll be eligible to return July 23 against Toronto for Boston's second game after the All-Star break.
Catcher Connor Wong was recalled from Triple-A Worcester to take Story's roster spot before a game at Yankee Stadium.
Story said Saturday afternoon that his hand was improving, and manager Alex Cora said Story planned to test his hand by taking batting practice about 90 minutes before first pitch against the AL East-leading Yankees.
