Story is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Rays.

Nick Sogard will start at shortstop and bat sixth in the Red Sox's regular-season finale. Story's 2024 season looked to be over after dislocating his left shoulder in early April, but he was able to return to the big club in September. Since his return, Story has slashed .270/.361/.429 with two home runs and six RBI across 72 plate appearances.
