Trevor Story Fantasy Stats

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevory Story was held out of a third straight Grapefruit League game over the weekend, with the Red Sox "monitoring Story's workload" in an effort to keep him fresh going into the start of the 2026 regular season next week, a club source told Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Story has played in 11 Grapefruit League games this year and has hit a strong .424 (14-for-33) with no homers, four doubles, three triples, two RBI, six runs scored, and a stolen base in 34 plate appearances. The 33-year-old two-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger winner had two injury-plagued seasons for Boston in 2023 and 2024 before rebounding to hit .263/.308/.433 with a .741 OPS, 25 home runs, 96 RBI, a career-high 31 stolen bases, and 91 runs scored in 157 regular-season games in 2025. Boston is planning to give Story a "little more rest in 2026," which has started this spring. Story showed he can still deliver power/speed numbers for fantasy managers last year, but his lengthy injury history and advanced age make him a pretty big injury risk and more of a low-end starting shortstop option in fantasy leagues.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story is a strong candidate to hit second in the batting order this year, following outfielder Roman Anthony in the leadoff spot, according to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. Story was in the two-hole in his final 10 games of the 2025 regular season and also hit there in all three of the team's Wild-Card games in the playoffs against the New York Yankees. The veteran shortstop hit .294 with a .339 on-base percentage, .497 slugging percentage, and .836 OPS in his final 84 games last year, but overall, he had a .308 on-base percentage (tied for 11th), and his .433 slugging percentage ranked 72nd among qualified hitters. The 33-year-old two-time All-Star stayed healthy and hit 25 homers, drove in 96, scored 91 runs, and stole 31 bases in 157 regular-season games. Story is still a top-15 fantasy shortstop when healthy, but his lengthy injury history suggests volume could be an issue in 2026.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story could bat second after manager Alex Cora said that he "earned the right" to hit at the top of the order, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Story's 2025 season was refreshing, as he improved his production at the plate while staying healthy for 157 games. He ultimately slashed .263/.308/.433 with 25 home runs, 31 stolen bases, a 5.0% walk rate, a 26.9% strikeout rate, and 101 wRC+. Last year represented his best power surge since 2019, but his walk rate dropped to a new career-low, and he continued to struggle with strikeouts. That's not great for a prospective No. 2 hitter, but Cora seems committed to putting the veteran infielder near the top of the lineup. Cotillo speculates that Roman Anthony could lead off, followed by Story in the No. 2 hole.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story appeared in 157 games in 2025, which matched a previous career high he set in 2018. Since joining the Red Sox in 2022, Story never appeared in more than 94 games in a season and has only surpassed the 50-game mark once, until 2025. Last season, Story looked like his former self, posting a .263/.308/.433 line with 25 home runs and 31 stolen bases. He tallied 91 runs and 96 RBI as he held a consistent spot in the heart of the Boston lineup. However, under the hood, Story generated a modest .311 xwOBA, suggesting he may take a bit of a step back in 2026. Additionally, his 26.9% K% and low 5.0% BB% significantly lower his floor in points formats. Given his injury history, Story does hold some risks heading into the 2026 campaign. However, when on the field, he possesses legit power and speed upside while providing high-end counting stats. He is a solid option at his 104.9 (No. 13 SS) on NFBC drafts when looking for upside, albeit with some risk.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story has opted into the remaining two years and $50 million left on his deal with the team, a source told Chris Cotillo of Mass Live on Tuesday. Story will make $25 million in each of the next two seasons and has a $25 million club option for 2028 that includes a $5 million buyout. The 32-year-old two-time All-Star had his best year in Boston in his fourth year with the team in 2025, slashing .263/.308/.433 with a .741 OPS, 25 home runs, 96 RBI, 91 runs scored, and a career-high 31 stolen bases in 157 games played and 654 plate appearances. It was the first time in his four years in Beantown that he managed to stay healthy, which resulted in his best season since his final year in Colorado in 2021. He might have had the opportunity to make more on the open market, but he chose security with the BoSox. Expecting another strong season like the one he just had is probably foolish, given his age and lengthy injury history.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story continued his strong second half of the season with another two-hit game in his team's series opener in Sacramento. He hit his 24th homer of the year in the first inning to get the scoring started and added a double and another run scored later in the game to finish 2-for-4 with two runs scored, an RBI, and six total bases. Story started the season slowly but has picked things up in his latest chapters. He's hitting .315 with 11 doubles, nine homers, and 10 stolen bases since the end of July and has a .406 wOBA and 45.2% hard-hit rate over his last 37 games. He's moved to the heart of the order for the Sox and will continue to be a key contributor down the stretch. The veteran has an opt-out of his contract after the season, which will be a fascinating factor to watch in the upcoming offseason.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story was the leader of an offensive outburst in an 11-2 blowout of the Washington Nationals on Friday. Story finished 4-for-5 with a homer, four RBI, three runs scored, and a stolen base in his fourth multi-hit game since last Saturday. While Story was the owner of a dreadful .585 OPS at the end of May, the 32-year-old has enjoyed a significant turnaround over the past month-plus. In 29 games since June 1, Story has hit .324 (36-for-111) with six homers, 27 RBI, and 19 runs scored. He's still slashing an underwhelming .252/.293/.404 in 349 plate appearances, but the two-time All-Star has amassed 13 HRs, 51 RB1, 42 runs, and 14 steals. Story looks likely to post his first 20/20 season since 2021.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story had his fourth three-hit game of the season in the team's 10-7 win over the division-rival New York Yankees in the Bronx on Saturday. Story went 3-for-5 in the contest with a double, run scored and a season-high five RBI out of the seven-hole in the batting order. It was nice to see from the 32-year-old veteran shortstop in what hasn't been a very productive season to this point at the plate. The two-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger came into Saturday's game with just a .217 average (50-for-230) with seven home runs, 26 RBI, 25 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 60 games played. Story has 77 strikeouts and only 12 walks in 246 trips to the plate and is swinging and missing far too often. He's been hitting the ball hard when he does make contact, but he's not lifting the ball like he did back in his heyday.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story will take a seat on the bench for Sunday's series finale at Fenway Park against the visiting Minnesota Twins. With Story sitting, David Hamilton will start at shortstop and bat seventh against Twins right-hander Chris Paddack. It will be Story's first game sitting since April 20. The 32-year-old veteran has tailed off a bit offensively of late, going 9-for-50 in the last 12 games. The former first-rounder by the Colorado Rockies in 2011 is now hitting .267/.308/.393 on the season with a .700 OPS, five home runs, 16 RBI, 16 runs scored and seven stolen bases. As long as he stays healthy, which is a big if, Story should be a decent middle-infield contributor in deep-mixed fantasy leagues. Hamilton represents a low-upside DFS sleeper near the bottom of the lineup without much power. He's gone 7-for-41 (.171) in a bench role in 2025 with a homer, three RBI and five stolen bases.

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story had a monster day at the dish on Friday, going 3-for-4 with a pair of homers, three runs scored, and six RBI. He started his day with a three-run bomb in the first inning, and then put a capper on it with another three-run shot in the seventh. Don't look now, but Story has a very impressive .321 AVG and .876 OPS to go along with 10 runs, five homers, 14 RBI, and six swipes. Fantasy managers have gotten all they could ask for and more from the late-round pick, and if he can stay healthy he should be a steal this season. He should be owned and started in all leagues at this point.
