BOSTON — Trevor Story wanted to get a second opinion on his injured right hand. He didn’t get good news.
The Red Sox second baseman’s visit with a hand specialist on Friday revealed a small hairline fracture near his right wrist, manager Alex Cora said, which will require him to pause swinging for about 10 days.
Story has been out since the Red Sox’s July 12 loss to the Rays when he suffered a right hand contusion after getting hit by a pitch. He started taking swings last week but was still feeling discomfort when making contact on his swings, which made him want to seek another opinion on the injury.
