Trevor Story is anticipated to rejoin the Boston Pink Sox throughout this weekend’s collection towards the Chicago White Sox at Fenway Park.
Earlier than Friday’s collection opener, Pink Sox supervisor Alex Cora mentioned there’s a “good likelihood” Story will return to the lineup and play shortstop on Saturday. Rookie outfielder/shortstop Ceddanne Rafaela will primarily be used at second base going ahead.
Story hasn’t performed for Boston since April 5 attributable to a shoulder damage that required surgical procedure. He sustained the injury after attempting to make a diving play in Anaheim.
Story went 6-for-16 with a double and two RBI throughout his four-game rehab stint with Triple-A Worcester. The 31-year-old hit .226 with three doubles and 4 RBI in eight video games with Boston earlier than his damage.
His return comes at an important time with the Pink Sox on a five-game shedding streak and hanging on by a thread within the American League Wild Card race. They enter Friday 5.5 video games behind the third Wild Card spot with 22 video games left on the schedule.
Boston will hope a collection vs. the lowly White Sox can be simply what the physician ordered. Chicago (32-109) is within the midst of one of many worst seasons in MLB historical past and is 6-44 over its final 50 video games.
First pitch for Friday’s matchup is about for 7:10 p.m. ET. at Fenway Park.
