Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Story (illness) won't be available for Monday's game against the Tigers, Sean McAdam of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

While the Red Sox begin a three-game series in Detroit on Monday, Story is set to travel separately with the team while he continues to deal with a case of the flu. Cora reiterated Monday that Story's illness isn't COVID-19-related, and the fact that the prized offseason pickup is traveling with the team seemingly supports that notion. Even so, with Story already ruled out for Monday, he'll be available for no more than five of the Red Sox's six games this week, which could make it difficult for fantasy managers to justify including him in their lineups.
