Alex Cora, along with everyone else in the Red Sox clubhouse, regretted seeing Trevor Story’s injury on Friday night. Cora acknowledges that replacing Story’s contributions won’t be simple. Despite this setback, Cora emphasizes the importance of not dwelling on the injury and instead focusing on moving forward.
Story sustained a non-throwing shoulder injury during Friday night’s game against the Los Angeles Angels. While he’s been put on the 10-day injured list, Story anticipates needing more time to recover. With one of their key players sidelined, the Red Sox face tough adjustments, but Cora acknowledges this as part of the game’s challenges.
Cora emphasizes the need to continue despite setbacks, citing injuries happening across teams. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining momentum and playing good baseball.
To cope with Story’s absence, the Red Sox plan to rotate players at shortstop and second base. Cora expresses confidence in the team’s depth, allowing them to adapt creatively to this obstacle.
There’s a silver lining as most of the Red Sox’s upcoming games will be at Fenway Park, providing a familiar environment to manage Story’s injury.
