The Boston Red Sox placed struggling shortstop Trevor Story on the 10-day injured list with a sports hernia Saturday, promoting utility player Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester to fill the roster spot. Story played in 41 of Boston's first 43 games before sitting out the opener of a three-game series at Atlanta on Friday night.

The two-time All-Star is batting just .206 with three homers in his fifth season with the Red Sox, having also committed six errors. His .547 OPS ranks 165th of 173 qualified hitters. Interim manager Chad Tracy said Story has been dealing with the injury since spring training and recently decided to stop playing through it. He's seeking additional opinions to determine if surgery will be needed.

Andruw Monasterio started in Story's place Friday and Saturday, hitting .258 in 22 games this season. Tracy said the team will evaluate moving second baseman Marcelo Mayer to shortstop if Story's absence extends. The Red Sox, already last in the AL East, also have outfielder Roman Anthony and Garrett Crochet on the IL.
