Red Sox Warn Against Fast-Tracking Trevor Story Return

Trevor Story began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester and could be activated as early as Friday against the Giants, but several observers warn rushing him back after a sports hernia and a weak .206/.244/.303 line across 41 games would be a major mistake. The piece cites recent returns by Romy Gonzalez and Adley Rutschman as cautionary examples and notes Sox interim manager Chad Tracy’s plan for Story to be the everyday shortstop while Anthony handles leadoff/left field/DH roles, raising questions about the timing of his return.

Red Sox silence Pirates 4-0; Abreu homers and Monasterio drives in two

Boston blanked Pittsburgh 4-0 in Game 125 at PNC Park. Wilyer Abreu belted a solo homer for a 1-0 lead, Esmerlyn Valdez? No, Monasterio then delivered a two-run double to push it to 3-0, and Jared Jones added an RBI single to cap the scoring at 4-0. Pirates starter Jared Jones went five innings with 1 earned run allowed, while Boston’s offense and bullpen held firm the rest of the way in front of a 38,408 sellout. Attendance was a sellout, and the Red Sox improved their performance since the All-Star break with another shutout for Pittsburgh.

Red Sox optimistic on Rutschman as wrist exam shows progress toward return

Red Sox medical staff examined Adley Rutschman and he’s progressing in his left-wrist rehab, with continued hitting progression and cage work over the next few days after a positive hand-specialist visit; a rehab assignment could be considered soon as he is closer to returning than Roman Anthony. Rutschman had been batting .251 with eight homers and 47 RBIs in 67 games before going on the 10-day IL on July 20, while Connor Wong would handle catching until he returns, and Boston is weighing rotation tweaks including a possible sixth starter during a 16-game stretch without an off day.
