Story is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Fresh off clinching a spot in the playoffs Sunday, the Red Sox will give Story a day off after starting the previous 15 games. The veteran shortstop posted a .799 OPS during that span and could carry a hot bat into the postseason. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is starting at shortstop and batting eighth Tuesday for Boston.

Red Sox's Trevor Story: Returns from injured list
Rotowire
The Red Sox activated Story (sports hernia) from the 60-day injured list Sunday, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports. He will start at shortstop and bat eighth against the Yankees.
The veteran shortstop has been on the shelf since mid-May after undergoing surgery to repair a sports hernia, but he's back on the active roster after batting .171 with 11 strikeouts during a 10-game rehab assignment. Story should reclaim the starting job at shortstop, but his .547 OPS in 41 contests prior to the injury and struggles during the rehab stint don't paint an encouraging picture for his offensive potential down the stretch. Still, he had a .741 OPS with 25 homers and 31 steals in 157 games last season, which was his first 20-20 campaign since 2021.

Rotowire
Story (sports hernia) remains with Triple-A Worcester on his rehab assignment Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Though he is scheduled for a day off Friday, Story will stay with Worcester rather than rejoin the Red Sox for their series this weekend against the Yankees. Boston will return home to host the Mariners on Monday, and that could be the day the Red Sox are eyeing for Story's return. Out since mid-May following sports hernia surgery, Story is 5-for-32 with a 1:10 BB:K in his first nine rehab games.

Red Sox's Trevor Story: Continuing rehab assignment Tuesday
Rotowire
Story (sports hernia) will continue his rehab assignment Tuesday at Triple-A Worcester, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Story had been viewed as candidate to return from the 60-day injured list Monday, but he didn't join the Red Sox for the start of their road trip and looks like he'll remain out for all three games of the team's series in Miami to begin the week. If all goes well during Tuesday's rehab contest, Story -- who has been on the shelf since May 16 -- could be activated at some point during the Red Sox's weekend series in New York versus the Yankees. Since kicking off his rehab assignment with Worcester on Aug. 16, Story has gone 4-for-21 with a 0:5 BB:K while playing exclusively in the field at shortstop.

Red Sox's Trevor Story: Could rejoin team in Miami
Rotowire
Story (sports hernia) could be activated from the 60-day injured list during Boston's series in Miami, which begins Monday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Story, who hasn't played for the Red Sox since May 14, spent the last week on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester, going 4-for-21 over six games. He finished up the assignment by playing two consecutive days in the field, which is typically a sign that a player is on the verge of coming off the IL. Once activated, Story is expected to be the Red Sox's primary starter at shortstop, although rest days will be built into his schedule initially.

Red Sox's Trevor Story: Could be activated Friday
Rotowire
Story (sports hernia) said that he could be reinstated from the 60-day injured list as soon as Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Story has been on the shelf since May 16 following sports hernia surgery, but he's finally nearing the finish line of what's been a lengthy recovery process. He kicked off a rehab assignment Sunday at Triple-A Worcester and went 1-for-2 at the dish while playing four innings at shortstop. Story is scheduled to play for Worcester on consecutive days Tuesday and Wednesday before rejoining the Red Sox for a re-evaluation. If the Red Sox medical staff is satisfied with Story's health, he could get the green light to return to action for the big club during their weekend series with the Giants. Once activated, Story will likely usurp Andruw Monasterio as the Red Sox's preferred option at shortstop.

Red Sox's Trevor Story: Begins rehab assignment
Rotowire
Story (sports hernia) started at shortstop and went 1-for-2 with a run scored for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.
Story played four innings in the field and handled the lone chance that came his way. Following a day off Monday, Story will join the WooSox for a trip to Syracuse and start at shortstop Tuesday. The Red Sox haven't mapped out anything beyond that, and interim manager Chad Tracy confirmed Story won't play any position other than shortstop. Utility infielder Andruw Monasterio has held down shortstop nicely over the last month, but the Red Sox did not add an established shortstop at the trade deadline, suggesting Story, who played second base when he first signed with Boston, can reclaim the position he's play the most during his career.

Red Sox's Trevor Story: Ready for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Story (sports hernia) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports.
Story traveled to Worcester on Friday for a workout, and after checking out fine, he's been given the green light to play in games for the first time since May 14. Given the length of Story's absence due to sports hernia surgery, he'll likely need to make several appearances in the minors before making his return from the 60-day injured list. Once activated, Story could displace Andruw Monasterio as the Red Sox's preferred option at shortstop.

Red Sox's Trevor Story: Will be re-evaluated this weekend
Rotowire
Story (sports hernia) will be re-evaluated at the end of the team's current homestand to determine when he can begin a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.
The Red Sox finish up with the White Sox at Fenway Park on Thursday and then host the Athletics through the weekend before heading out on the road. If Story is ready to begin an assignment, he may need a handful of games, given he's been sidelined since the middle of May. The Red Sox have caught fire without Story and could slow-walk his rehab as to not disrupt the chemistry the club has built while going 30-5 since June 25.

Red Sox's Trevor Story: Aiming for August rehab assignment
Rotowire
Story (sports hernia) told reporters Monday that "sometime in August is in play" for him to embark on a rehab assignment, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Story underwent surgery for a sports hernia in late May and has been on the 60-day injured list since early June. He's been cleared to take part in full baseball activities, and the good news for the veteran shortstop is that he is getting closer to on-field action in minor-league games. Story would likely need a rather lengthy rehab stint, given the amount of time he's been sidelined for, but it looks like he could be back with the Red Sox by mid-to-late August.

Red Sox's Trevor Story: Injury deemed sports hernia
Rotowire
Story, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, has been diagnosed with a sports hernia, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Story was originally said to have a groin injury, so the sports hernia diagnosis provides more specificity to the issue he's reportedly been dealing with for much of the season. According to Bill Koch of the Providence Journal, a sports hernia can sideline a player six weeks if surgery isn't needed and about four months if surgical, so Story appears to be facing an extended absence. Andruw Monasterio is starting at shortstop for Boson on Saturday and could pick up regular playing time there in Story's stead.

Red Sox's Trevor Story: Placed on injured list
Rotowire
The Red Sox placed Story on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a groin injury, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.
Story has reportedly been battling a groin issue for the majority of the season, and the Red Sox will now place him on the injured list so they can properly treat his injury. Andruw Monasterio and Isiah Kiner-Falefa will likely split reps at shortstop while Story is on the shelf, and Nick Sogard could factor into the mix as well after coming up from Triple-A Worcester.
