BOSTON — The Red Sox have now lost two All-Star shortstops this winter and haven’t added any.
Their chances of jumping out of the cellar in the American League East took a sharp hit on Tuesday, when the Red Sox announced that Trevor Story underwent a successful internal bracing procedure of the right ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing elbow.
The procedure is considered a lighter version of Tommy John surgery and typically contains a four-to-six month recovery process.
