Red Sox Doomed to Make Same Mistake for Third Time This Season
Summary
The Boston Red Sox plan to activate Trevor Story soon after starting his rehab, repeating a pattern of activating injured players too quickly. This approach has led to poor player performance and has not helped the team's recent struggles.Key Facts
- Trevor Story may be activated soon after only one rehab game with Triple-A Worcester.
- This would be the third time this season the Red Sox activated an injured player within one week of rehab starting.
- Romy Gonzalez was activated after six minor league games but performed poorly, batting just .185 over 19 games before being sent back to the minors.
- Adley Rutschman was activated after only two rehab games and also struggled, hitting .059 over five games.
- Story is recovering from sports hernia surgery and had a low batting average before going on the injured list.
- The Red Sox have other players performing well in the minors, like Andruw Monasterio and Franklin Arias, who could be options instead of rushing Story back.
- Interim manager Chad Tracy said Story is expected to be the everyday shortstop and Roman Anthony the leadoff hitter and left fielder/DH once activated.
- The Red Sox have scored very few runs recently, winning only 2 of their last 9 games after a strong 32-5 stretch earlier in the season.
