BOSTON — Maybe it was just his own natural enthusiasm speaking, but shortstop Trevor Story, when asked about a timetable to return from a rehab stint that was exactly one game old, said returning for the start of the team's weekend series Friday was a "possibility.'
For the sake of everyone involved, let's hope not.
That's no slight at Story, among the most accountable and conscientious players the Red Sox have had in years.
But after being out since mid-May, it's frankly ludicrous that Story would be ready to hit big league pitching after a rehab **** ignment that lasted, at most, four games in the minors.
Players are naturally eager to return to play as soon as possible. That goes double for Story, who, through no fault of his own, has had lengthy stays on the Injured List in four of his first five seasons with the Red Sox.
