BOSTON, MA – Trevor Story, the Boston Red Sox shortstop, is facing growing scrutiny from MLB fans regarding his health after an intense stretch of play.
Since recovering from his injury, Story has appeared in 30 of the Red Sox’s last 32 games, starting 28 times — a workload that many believe is taking a toll on his body.
Management acknowledged the situation, noting Story’s significant contributions but emphasizing that his health remains a priority. “Trevor is a competitor. He wants to be out there every day, but we’re closely monitoring him and making sure he’s feeling good,” a team spokesperson said on Friday.
Fans, however, have voiced concern on social media, pointing to signs of fatigue and questioning whether the team is pushing Story too hard, too soon. Some have urged the Red Sox to give him more rest days to preserve his long-term health.
Story, known for his explosive play and leadership on the field, has yet to publicly address the concerns. For now, the Red Sox seem committed to balancing competitiveness with caution as they navigate a critical stretch of the season.
