It’s no secret the Red Sox will begin their 2023 season without infielder Trevor Story, who underwent UCL surgery in his right elbow back in early January. Since that time, the team hasn’t given an official timetable for his return. On Tuesday, as the team began reporting to Fort Myers (including Story, who is there to begin his rehab), the 30-year-old spoke about what he believes his timetable looks like.
“I think best case, I’m back at some point in the second half and worst case, I don’t play this year,” Story said via Chris Cotillo of MassLive. “But I feel really good about the first one,” Story added.
“We’ve heard anywhere from four months to 8-10 months,” Story continued, reflecting on the fact that he’s never been through a major injury recovery process like this. “It just kind of depends on, each player is different, each guy responds a little differently in their body. We’re really just going to take it with how it comes. And like I said, I’m planning on coming back and that’s the goal for me and I think that’s best case scenario.”
