Trevor Story was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sports hernia before a game against the Atlanta Braves. Nick Sogard was recalled from Triple-A Worcester as the corresponding roster move. Story said he has dealt with the issue since spring training, with worsening at the end of April and continued persistence. He and the team are unsure whether surgery will be required and are seeking more information before making a decision. Story noted sports hernia surgery recovery typically takes 6-10 weeks but said he does not want to focus on that possibility yet. His recent seasons have included multiple injuries, and his 2026 performance has been below expectations at the plate and defensively at shortstop.
"Trevor Story is headed to the injured list. The team placed him on the 10-day IL with a sports hernia ahead of Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Infielder Nick Sogard was recalled from Triple-A Worcester as the corresponding move."
"Story, 33, said he has been dealing with the issue since spring training. The injury worsened at the end of April and has persisted. Story said he and the Red Sox are "unsure" if he will need surgery to repair the hernia. "We're still unsure, but possbibly," he said about potentially going under the knife."
""We're trying to get the best information, not make a rushed decision. Obviously, surgery is not ideal or wanted, so trying to navigate this thing as best we can with the information that we have." Story said recovery time for sports hernia surgeries is between 6-10 weeks, but he doesn't want to think about that possibility yet."
"Story has struggled both at the plate and defensively this season coming off a spectacular 2025. He's batting .206 with a .244 on-base percentage and .547 OPS (9th-worst in MLB). Despite striking out in 32.4 percent of his at-bats, he has consistently batted in the top half of the lineup under both ex-manager Alex Cora and interim skipper Chad Tracy. Story has also committed six errors in 39 games at shortstop (.958 fielding percentage), tied for most at the position in the American League."
