The Boston Red Sox have an emergency.
That’s because second baseman Trevor Story will miss at least July with elbow surgery following the loss of shortstop Xander Bogarts.

This includes Jose Iglesias, Elvis Andres, Josh Harrison, Cesar Hernandez, Didi Gregorius and Rugned Odor for the shortstop or second base spot.
