Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story will likely miss several weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a sports hernia on Thursday in Philadelphia.
The Red Sox confirmed the procedure on Friday but didn't present a timeline for Story's return. The 33-year-old Story told reporters last Saturday, '... the basic prognosis is six to 10 weeks, give or take.'
Story began feeling discomfort during spring training and attempted to play through the pain. The team initially listed Story with a groin injury before further testing pinpointed a hernia.
Story is batting just .206 with three homers, 19 RBIs and 57 strikeouts in 41 games. His slugging percentage is just .303, well below his career mark of .483.
While addressing the situation Saturday, Story said of the dip in his stats this season, 'I hate to (make excuses). I'm not going to be blaming it all on that, but it plays a part, for sure. I think the main thing is getting it right, and I'm not so much worried about what has happened, and I'm more worried about problem-solving it and moving forward with the next steps, whatever that may be.'
Story is hitting .262 with 207 homers and 655 RBIs in 1,106 career games over 11 seasons with the Colorado Rockies (2016-21) and Red Sox. He was a National League All-Star for the Rockies in 2018 and 2019.
Boston manager Chad Tracy told reporters Friday that the plan is to have second baseman Marcelo Mayer move to shortstop on Sunday and then remain at the position while Story is sidelined. Nick Sogard is starting at shortstop on Friday against the Minnesota Twins.
