Nearly a day after injuring his shoulder, Trevor Story’s diagnosis has been revealed.
The shortstop suffered a dislocated left shoulder against the Angels on Friday, the Red Sox announced Saturday evening. The team placed Story on the 10-day injured list and recalled infielder David Hamilton from Triple-A Worcester as a corresponding move.
Story underwent an MRI in Seattle Saturday afternoon while Hamilton was traveling from the East Coast to Anaheim.
The 31-year-old injured his left shoulder after diving for a ground ball in the fourth inning Friday night. He felt considerable visible pain while grabbing his shoulder and remained on the ground for some time, before leaving the match.
While diving toward the Grounder, Story said his the weight of the body lands on his shoulder.
“Frustrating, man,” Story said after the game. He did not wear a sling on his non-throwing arm. ” A lot of emotions. … Lots of frustration. …Pretty painful.
His teammate on the court, Rafael Devers, physically winced as he watched Story hit the grass.
The timeline for Story’s return and whether or not he will undergo surgery is unknown, the baseball official said. Craig Breslow told reporters SATURDAY.
Breslow also referred to the condition as “sublaxtion,” which is a “partial or incomplete dislocation,” according to the Journal of Chiropractic Humanities.
Waiting for, manager Alex Cora laid out his plan regarding who will play in midfield for the foreseeable future.
“We’re going in a platoon for short,” Cora said. “We go to the peloton second. …We will be creative.
He did not rule out the possibility of moving Ceddane Rafaela to shortstop. Rafaela played center to start the season, but he can also play in the middle.
