Story went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 7-0 win over the Athletics.

Story homered in the first inning, and that's all Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet needed. It was the 24th home run of the season for Story, who has six multi-hit efforts, four home runs and a .998 OPS over his last 13 games.

Story went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a second run scored in Monday's 7-0 win over the Athletics.

Story logged his fourth multi-hit effort over seven games in September. He provided early offense with his first-inning solo shot, which was his fifth homer over his last 16 contests. The shortstop is up to 24 homers, 90 RBI, 82 runs scored, 26 doubles, 27 stolen bases and a .263/.310/.444 slash line through 141 contests as one of Boston's steadiest hitters.

Arias was removed from Monday's game against the Royals due to right wrist inflammation, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Stebbins notes that Arias was lifted from the matchup as a precaution, so it's fair to consider him day-to-day until more information on the injury comes to light. Angel Martinez could be in line for opportunities at shortstop if Arias is forced to sit for a few days.

Rocchio went 3-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 10-2 rout of the Royals.

The 24-year-old notched his second three-hit performance of the season, with the first coming July 8 at Houston. Rocchio, who entered the season with a .213 career batting average, has been much improved at the plate since the All-Star break, hitting .272 (43-for-158) with three homers, four steals, 28 RBI and 16 runs scored across 48 contests. Overall, the Venezuelan is now slashing .236/.294/.342 with 40 RBI and 27 runs scored in 317 total plate appearances.

Arias (undisclosed) exited Monday's contest against the Royals in the sixth inning, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Arias struck out to end the fourth inning, ultimately prompting manager Stephen Vogt to come check on him. The infielder remained in the game for the fifth inning, but he did end up leaving the contest prior to the sixth. It's unclear what Arias is dealing with, and more information on his status will likely come in the near future. Angel Martinez replaced Arias in the field for the time being, batting seventh versus Kansas City.

Witt (back) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Maikel Garcia will get the call at shortstop for the series opener while Witt takes a seat for the third day in a row as he continues to manage low back spasms. Per Anne Rogers of MLB.com, Witt said his back felt "better" after he took part in some running and fielding work earlier Monday, and he plans to wait and see how he responds to those activities before potentially taking some swings Tuesday. The Royals are still viewing Witt as day-to-day and seem optimistic that he'll avoid a stint on the injured list.

Story went 2-for-3 with a double, a hit-by-pitch, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

Story has five multi-hit efforts and five steals over his last 12 games, batting .304 (14-for-46) in that span. The shortstop continues to be effective on the basepaths with 27 steals and has still not gotten caught stealing. He's added a strong .262/.308/.436 slash line with 23 home runs, 89 RBI, 80 runs scored and 25 doubles across 140 contests.

Neto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Neto will be getting a rare day off in the series finale, as he had previously started in each of the Angels' last 59 contests. With Neto resting, Oswald Peraza will cover shortstop, and designated hitter Mike Trout will move from the No. 2 spot into the leadoff role.

Hernaiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Hernaiz will take a seat for the series finale after he went 5-for-18 with a double, four walks, a stolen base and four runs while starting in each of the previous five games. Brett Harris will cover third base in Hernaiz's stead Sunday.

Smith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Houston.

With lefty Framber Valdez on the hill for the Astros, the left-handed-hitting Smith will get the day off after starting in each of the previous seven games. Ezequiel Duran will cover shortstop in Smith's stead.
