Trevor Story Shoulder Injury Update

Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday after suffering a left shoulder injury while diving for a ball in Friday’s game against the Angels.

By video, Story suffered a left shoulder dislocation with a labrum tear when he laid out for a ball between short and third hit by Mike Trout in the bottom of the fourth inning.

He walked off with his left shoulder immobilized and underwent an MRI on Saturday that revealed a damaged labrum.

There’s hope he can avoid a stint on the 60-day IL, but it will be an issue he will deal with all season until he can undergo labrum surgery in the offseason.

Story will rehab the injury and likely change his follow through to avoid re-dislocating his left shoulder. That change could down on his power numbers, but multiple players have been able to finish the season with rehab and this swing change, including Fernando Tatis Jr. and Corbin Carroll.

The Red Sox recalled David Hamilton from AAA to take Story’s roster spot while he is out.
