Summary
Trevor Story ramped up his rehab work after a recovery day, and interim manager Chad Tracy said the Red Sox shortstop is "creeping closer" to returning.
Story has been out since May 14 after sports hernia surgery and still has no firm timetable, though Boston views Tuesday's update as another step toward a minor league rehab assignment.
Garrett Crochet is back to throwing, Tracy said, extending a gradual recovery from shoulder and lat injuries that had already progressed to 50-60 foot throwing in early August.
Crochet has not started since Aug. 25 and likely would need a spring-training-like buildup, leaving relief work the more realistic path if he returns before the 2026 season ends.
Boston already activated Adley Rutschman on Tuesday, but the club is still waiting on Story, Crochet and Roman Anthony as it tries to get key injured pieces back.
