Chaim Bloom and the Red Sox aren’t ruling out the possibility of Trevor Story returning to the field for Boston at some point in 2023.
But any optimism is far from a guarantee, not after the 30-year-old infielder underwent elbow surgery on Monday.
Even though the procedure that Story underwent (an internal bracing procedure of the right ulnar collateral ligament) has usually led to a four- to six-month recovery timeline, Bloom didn’t set down any tangible projections for when Boston expects Story back in the lineup.
“Not ready to put a timetable on it yet,” Bloom told reporters on Tuesday.
