To start the 2024 Major League Baseball regular season, there has been an enormous number of injuries to starting pitchers. On Tuesday, the Boston Red Sox announced that shortstop Trevor Story of Irving, Texas was gone for the season with a shoulder injury himself according to Leo Morgenstern of mlbtraderumors.com.
