Trevor Story’s miraculous return to the Red Sox lineup nearly took an unfortunate turn at Yankee Stadium on Saturday.
During the late stages of the rivalry game, Story attempted to aid Boston third baseman Rafael Devers with an infield fly ball. Instead, the two collided. Devers juggled the ball and eventually did secure the grab, but Story laid on the ground for a few extra seconds before returning to his feet.
Story explained the play in a postgame interview with MLB Network.
“Yeah, that was a scary one. … I looked at [Devers] and I thought he didn’t see the ball.
