The Boston Red Sox have placed shortstop Trevor Story on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder dislocation.
Infielder David Hamilton has been recalled from triple-A Worcester to fill Story’s spot on the active roster.
Story suffered the injury while trying to back a backhand play on a hit by Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout.
Hamilton, 26, played in 15 games with the Red Sox in 2023, slashing .121/.256/.182. He has played in five triple-A games this season, hitting two home runs and posting a .750 OPS.
Story got his glove on Trout’s hard grounder, but he was left writhing in pain after hitting the grass hard on his left arm and shoulder. The two-time All-Star’s face also might have hit the ground.
Third baseman Rafael Devers put both hands on his head in empathy after watching the injury to Story, who stayed on the grass for about two minutes before heading to the dugout. Pablo Reyes replaced Story at shortstop.
Story went 0-for-2 against Los Angeles before leaving. He is batting .226 this season, but began the night tied for the team lead with four RBIs.
Reyes is scheduled to play short and bat second in Boston’s game against the Angels on Saturday night.
