Summary

Story Injured

Trevor Story was placed on the 10-day injured list on May 15, 2026.
Story’s six errors tie him with Angels shortstop Zach Neto for the most by an AL shortstop this season, and he posted a .244 on-base, .303 slugging and .206 batting average.
Nick Sogard, 28, was recalled from Triple-A Worcester and has played both infield and outfield in the past two seasons.

History

Historical Context

In 2004, after trading shortstop Nomar Garciaparra and coping with his 45-game injury, the Red Sox, led by manager Terry Francona, became the first MLB team to overturn a 3-0 ALCS deficit and win their first World Series since 1918. In May 2026, shortstop Trevor Story entered the 10-day IL, prompting manager Chad Tracy to recall Nick Sogard, mirroring Boston’s reliance on midseason roster moves.
