BOSTON, MA—The Boston Red Sox today reinstated shortstop Trevor Story from the 60-Day Injured List. To make room for Story, the club designated infielder Yu Chang for assignment. The Red Sox’ 40-man roster is at 39.

Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom made the announcement.

Story, 30, was on the Injured List due to right elbow ulnar collateral ligament repair.

The Texas native was signed by the Red Sox as a free agent on March 22, 2022.

Chang, 27, has played in 39 games for the Red Sox this season, batting .162 (17-for-105) with two doubles, six home runs, and 18 RBI while appearing in 33 games at shortstop, four at second base, two at first base, one at third base, and one as the designated hitter. The all-time leader in games played by players born in Taiwan, Chang has batted .204 (121-for-594) with 20 home runs and 79 RBI in 235 career games with Cleveland (2019-22), Pittsburgh (2022), Tampa Bay (2022), and Boston (2022-23).
