ATLANTA (AP) — The Red Sox placed struggling shortstop Trevor Story on the 10-day injured list with a sports hernia Saturday. Boston promoted utility player Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester to take Story's roster spot. Story played in 41 of Boston's first 43 games before sitting out the opener of a three-game series at Atlanta on Friday night.
He is batting . 206 with three homers in his fifth season with the Red Sox. He has also committed six errors.
His . 547 OPS ranks 165th of 173 qualified hitters. Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy said Story has been dealing with the injury since spring training and recently decided he would stop trying to play through it.
Story is seeking out additional opinions to see if surgery will be needed. “Everybody’s still on the information-gathering part of that, and then once you get that, there’s various routes to go,” Tracy said. “You've got to know exactly what he’s dealing with first, so we got to get all that information.
