Red Sox cautious with Trevor Story, Roman Anthony rehab returns

BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox are carefully managing the return of shortstop Trevor Story and outfielder Roman Anthony from injury rehab stints. Story, who has not played since mid-May, expressed interest in rejoining the team for this weekend's series, although his readiness is in question after just one game in the minors. The Red Sox are advised to take their time, recalling previous cases where rushed returns did not yield positive results. Interim manager Chad Tracy emphasized the importance of thorough evaluations before allowing players back into major league action. Roman Anthony also began his rehab recently, and both players could make significant contributions if they can find their timing and performance before the playoff push.
