The Boston Red Sox on Saturday placed shortstop Trevor Story on the 10-day injured list, after the two-time All-Star sustained a dislocated shoulder in Friday night’s game against the Los Angeles Angels.
David Hamilton, recalled by Boston from Triple-A Worcester Saturday, took Story’s roster spot. He will be reexamined in Boston on Monday.
The 31-year-old infielder left in the fourth inning of Boston’s 8-6 win over host Los Angeles after making a diving stop on Mike Trout’s hard grounder.
Story dove to his right to keep Trout’s bouncer in the infield, but he landed hard on his left shoulder and was in obvious pain. He remained on the outfield grass before walking off the field with Red Sox manager Alex Cora.
Veteran infielder Pablo Reyes took over for Story with the Red Sox leading 4-0 and started at short on Saturday night against the Angels.
Story, who is in his third season with Boston, is batting .226 with no homers and four RBIs in eight games. He went 0-for-2 before leaving the game.
Story missed the first four months of last season after undergoing right elbow surgery in January 2023. He also missed extended time in 2022, his first season with the Red Sox, with a hairline fracture in his wrist.
A two-time Silver Slugger winner (2018, ‘19), Story played his first six years with the Colorado Rockies, establishing himself as one of the best hitting shortstops in the majors. He batted .272 with 158 homers and 450 RBIs in 745 games with the Rockies.
Story agreed to a six-year, $140 million deal with the Red Sox in March 2022. But he has played in only 145 games since signing that deal and is batting .227 with 19 homers and 84 RBIs.
Hamilton, 26, appeared in 15 games for the Red Sox last season, batting .121 with six walks.
