The Boston Red Sox reinstated second baseman Trevor Story from the 10-day injured list on Saturday, returning a much-needed bat to a struggling lineup.
To create a roster spot for Story, Boston optioned outfielder Jarren Duran to Triple-A Worcester following Friday's 9-8 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Duran occupied center field most of the month while Enrique Hernandez was on the injured list.
Story, 29, was placed on the injured list with a right hand contusion back on July 16, and the team's move was retroactive to July 14.
