BOSTON (AP) — Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story will have what is likely season-ending surgery on his dislocated left shoulder and right-hander Nick Pivetta has a strained a right flexor, the latest in a spate of elbow injuries among pitchers.
Story, a two-time All-Star, was placed on the 10-day injured list after dislocating his left shoulder Friday at the Los Angeles Angels. Projected recovery time is six months.
“Difficult to speculate beyond that,” Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow said before Tuesday's home opener against Baltimore. “But you can kind of do the math there.”
Pivetta was placed on the 15-day IL, a move retroactive to Saturday.
