Story, 32, is a 10-year veteran of the Colorado Rockies and Red Sox. He is a lifetime .266 hitter with 184 homers. He is a two-time All-Star but hasn't been healthy for most of his Sox tenure. Since signing with Boston in 2022, he's played only 94, 43, and 26 games. This year, he's played in all 21 and will hope to keep his availability up.

The Red Sox will play the White Sox again on Saturday afternoon with first pitch coming at 4:10 p.m. ET. Right-hander Shane Smith will pitch for Chicago while Garrett Crochet goes for Boston.

Smith has been a revelation since getting selected in the Rule-5 Draft. He's 0-1 but owns a 2.04 ERA. Crochet, acquired this offseason, has been dominant. He's 2-1 with a 1.38 ERA on the young season.
