Red Sox News

The Boston Red Sox are buzzing with renewed hope as they prepare for a crucial series in New York, buoyed by a stellar 27-12 record since the All-Star break, yet last night's 0-4 loss to the Miami Marlins still stings. With Roman Anthony and Trevor Story potentially returning from injury this weekend, there's a chance to elevate an already-impressive squad that has two players in Bleacher Report's top 10 MVP rankings. However, concerns loom about Story's struggles in Triple-A after a lackluster performance since his injury, raising doubts about whether he can truly contribute to a playoff push. As the team balances optimism and caution, fans are left wondering if these reinforcements can spark a late-season rally and propel the Red Sox back into contention.

Red Sox Minor Lines: Trevor Story continues to struggle
Worcester: L, 7-1 (BOX SCORE) Okay, folks, I’ll say it: Since 2022 I’ve disliked the Trevor Story contract. And in 2026, I’m worried about Trevor Story being brought back into this iteration of the Boston Red Sox, a playoff team who can make rallies appear out of thin air.
