Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story has season-ending shoulder surgery

BOSTON -- Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story had season-ending shoulder surgery Friday.

Boston said Los Angeles Dodgers team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache performed the arthroscopic procedure on the left posterior labrum.

Story injured his shoulder trying to make a diving stop on a ball off the bat of the Los Angeles Angels' Mike Trout in Anaheim on April 5.

The 31-year-old Story, in the third season of a six-year, $140 million contract, was hitting .226 with four RBIs in eight games.

He is a .265 hitter with 177 home runs and 534 RBIs over nine major league seasons but has a .227 average and .681 OPS in three seasons with the Red Sox.

Story was limited to 94 games in 2022 by a bruised right hand sustained when he was hit by a pitch from Tampa's Corey Kluber and a bruised left heel and to 43 games last year, when he had surgery in January to repair a torn UCL and didn't make his season debut until Aug. 8.

Boston said the operation included an open reduction and internal fixation of the fracture of the glenoid rim.
