The Boston Red Sox have really needed a team effort over the past few months to turn this campaign around. For a Red Sox team that struggled mightily throughout much of the campaign, turning things around at this level has been very impressive.
When you factor in the injuries Boston has dealt with on both sides of the ball, it shows what this squad has really done.
Currently 66-58 and 8.5 games back in the American League East, the Red Sox don't look to be in a great spot to win the division, though they should make the playoffs via the Wild Card.
The Red Sox should also be getting some key players back over the next month, including shortstop Trevor Story, who started a rehab assignment over the weekend.
While always a step in the right direction, it doesn't sound like there's a definitive timeline on when the former All-Star will return.
“Following the standard off-day that all Minor Leaguers have on Mondays, Story will join Worcester for a road trip to Syracuse and again start at shortstop on Tuesday. The Sox haven’t mapped out his schedule beyond that, and interim manager Chad Tracy isn’t sure if Story will play any positions besides shortstop on his rehab assignment,” Ian Browne wrote.
There have been moments in Boston when Story has struggled a bit, but for the most part, he's been a really good player. Had he not dealt with injuries over the past few years, people would still regard him highly.
He's only played in 41 games this year, hitting .206 before going down with three home runs.
If the Red Sox can get Story back and he plays as well as he did in 2025, when he hit 25 home runs and posted a .741 OPS, they should be in a good spot.
