Red Sox's Trevor Story: Getting breather Tuesday
Rotowire
Story is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Orioles, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Story started the first three games upon his activation from the 60-day injured list, but he'll get a day off Tuesday. Ceddanne Rafaela will occupy shortstop for the Red Sox.
Story (shoulder) went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 7-5 win over the White Sox.
Story supplied an RBI single in the third inning to give the Red Sox a 6-2 lead in his first big-league game after missing five months due to a dislocated shoulder. Assuming he doesn't have any additional injuries, Story should be Boston's primary shortstop over the final three weeks of the campaign. He's batting .229 with no home runs, five RBI, one stolen base, one run scored and three doubles through nine games this year.

Red Sox's Trevor Story: Starting at shortstop Saturday
Rotowire
Story (shoulder) will be activated Saturday and will start at shortstop against the White Sox, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
This is a big surprise, as it wasn't clear that Story would be able to return so quickly after beginning a rehab assignment Sept. 1. He played four games at Triple-A and hit .375 with one steal and zero home runs. The plan is for Story to play shortstop and Ceddanne Rafaela to play second base down the stretch.

Rotowire
Story (shoulder) started at shortstop and went hitless in three at-bats during a rehab game for Triple-A Worcester on Monday.
Story played the field for the first time while on rehab and was pulled after five innings. He served as the designated hitter in his first rehab outing Sunday and has gone 2-for-7 between the two games. Story likely needs a couple of weeks to get his timing back at the plate, but he could be available over the second half of September as the Red Sox make a push for the postseason.

Red Sox's Trevor Story: Begins rehab assignment
Rotowire
Story (shoulder) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, serving as the starting designated hitter while going 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored.
Story is expected to start at shortstop Monday for Worcester and will likely play in a few more Triple-A games after that before the Red Sox pinpoint a date for him to return from the IL. After he dislocated his left shoulder April 5, Story was thought to be lost for the season. His outlook improved by the middle of the summer, outlook, and he's now poised to return to the majors during the second half of September.

Red Sox's Trevor Story: Beginning rehab assignment Sunday
Rotowire
Story (shoulder) will begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Sunday, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Story will begin his assignment as the designated hitter before playing anywhere on the infield. The 31-year-old dislocated his left shoulder just eight games into the regular season, and the procedure to repair the injury was thought to be season-ending. However, Story has been ramping up his activity level following the All-Star break, and he will take the next step in his recovery Sunday. He will need several rehab games before being reinstated from the 60-day injured list, but a return to the majors before the end of the season is not off the table.
Red Sox's Trevor Story: Rehab assignment could come soon
Rotowire
Story (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment in September, but the Red Sox haven't determined an exact date for it yet, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
The shortstop has taken live batting practice and gone through other baseball activities over the past few weeks as he tries to make it back before the end of the season from mid-April surgery on a fractured left shoulder. Given the length of his absence, Story would figure to require a significant number of rehab at-bats, but the calendar is working against him.
