Trevor Story - Closing in on rehab assignmentRed Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that there's a chance Story (elbow) could be ready for a rehab assignment immediately after the All-Star break, Mac Cerullo of the Boston H...

ImpactCora also noted that when Story returns it will be as a shortstop, as the team has no plans to bring him back sooner as a designated hitter. August has been mentioned as a timeline for Story's return and with the way things are progressing it's looking like he could be ready right around the beginning of that month. "He's been so good so far, no obstacles, no red flags, you never know what can happen in the upcoming days ... but so far it's trending in the right direction, and fast," Cora said of Story.

Ezequiel Duran - Sitting WednesdayDuran is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

ImpactWith just one hit and nine strikeouts in 17 at-bats over his last four starts, Duran will sit for the second time in three games to open up a spot in the outfield for Robbie Grossman. Duran is still upholding a strong .876 OPS on the season, so he shouldn't be on the outs yet for a near-everyday role, despite his recent slump.

Triston Casas - Sitting against right-handerCasas is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rangers.

Adam Duvall - Returns to lineupDuvall (illness) is starting in center field and batting sixth Wednesday versus the Rangers in his return to the lineup.

ImpactDuvall has been a bit under the weather of late, although his bat has also been sickly since he returned from the injured list with a .154/.247/.262 slash line and 36 percent strikeout rate. He'll look for better results Wednesday against Jon Gray and the Rangers.
