Trevor Story’s return to the Red Sox is being pushed back to the latest possible date.
The shortstop will remain with Triple-A Worcester through Wednesday, which is when his 20-day rehab clock expires, Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Sunday.
There was some initial optimism that Story could’ve returned prior to the expiration of his 20-day rehab clock. Cora hinted this past week that Story could’ve been called up this weekend, but that didn’t end up being the case.
After missing the first four-plus months of the season to rehab from offseason elbow surgery, Story began his rehab assignment with Double-A Portland on July 21 before moving up to Triple-Worcester on July 26, where he’s been since.
