Trevor Story to begin rehab assignment with Worcester Red Sox on Sunday

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.
