Chad Tracy, manager of the Boston Red Sox, must navigate player roster changes as Trevor Story, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and Roman Anthony near return from injuries. The trio begins rehab appearances this week, complicating the team dynamics following their successful six-week run. Tracy will need to balance the needs of returning players against those who have stepped up in their absence.
