Trevor Story - Rehab assignment could come soon 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.
Impact 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.

Trevor Story - Rehab assignment mapped out soon The Red Sox plan to soon map out a plan for Story's (shoulder) rehab assignment, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Impact There are no dates set yet, with Story saying Friday only that he expects to begin playing in rehab games sometime in September. The shortstop has taken live batting practice and gone through other baseball activities as he tries to complete a quicker-than-expected return from his mid-April surgery for a fractured left shoulder. Given the length of his absence, he would figure to require a good number of rehab at-bats. Of course, the Red Sox might not have the luxury of giving him as many rehab games as he would ideally need, considering how much time is left in the season.
