Just when the Red Sox thought they could catch a break, reality threw a nasty curveball. Their $140 million investment—meant to anchor the infield and restore order—sent shockwaves through camp with a spring training scare. For a team already flirting with mediocrity, this is the kind of plot twist they couldn’t afford.
Right when the season seemed to get better for the Red Sox, there was a piece of bad news. It was reported by Chris Cotillo that Trevor Story had some stiffness in his back and was taken off the lineup.
From Red Sox:
Trevor Story was scratched from today’s lineup for precautionary reasons due to mild upper back tightness.

The Red Sox became one of the favorites to top the AL with the Yankees injury crisis but now Boston has a crisis of their own. We will have to wait and see how they will get past this and if this was just a precautionary measure.
If this was in fact a precaution, the Red Sox can breathe easy—for now. But if it’s something more, their infield stability might be as shaky as their postseason hopes. Either way, Boston just got a harsh reminder: fate doesn’t care about preseason optimism.
