After his season was seemingly over following shoulder surgery in April, Trevor Story is trending toward returning to the Red Sox.
Story is set to begin a rehab assignment with the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox on Sunday. The 31-year-old will be the team’s designated hitter. As Story gets more at-bats under his belt, he will start playing in the field.
The shortstop dislocated his shoulder while diving for a ground ball against the Angels on April 5 and underwent surgery one week later.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora discussed Story’s recovery and the possibility that he could play again for the team soon.
