Trevor Story Leaves Game Due To Finger Injury

By Mark Polishuk | May 2, 2021 at 6:47pm CDT

Rockies star shortstop Trevor Story left today’s game after being hit by a pitch on his right index finger.  During an eighth-inning plate appearances against the Diamondbacks’ Chris Devenski, Story was hit in the hand and appeared to be in notable discomfort.  Story took his base and actually ended up stealing second as part of a double-steal with lead runner Garrett Hampson, but Story was replaced at shortstop in the bottom half of the inning.

X-rays were negative on Story’s finger, manager Bud Black told The Denver Post’s Patrick Saunders and other reporters after the game.  While this might not prevent a brief injured-list stint given the vagaries of finger and hand injuries, it’s at least very good news that Story appears to have avoided a more serious problem.

Story went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run homer in today’s 8-4 Rockies loss to Arizona, giving the shortstop a .284/.348/.520 slash line and four homers over 115 plate appearances.  It’s the type of strong offensive performance that has become common for the two-time All-Star and Silver Slugger winner, and between both his bat and his defense, Story will be a heavily-pursued commodity on the free agent market this winter.  (MLBTR’s Tim Dierkes placed Story fourth in the most recent edition of the Free Agent Power Rankings.)

Any kind of injury or potential IL placement is certainly noteworthy given Story’s influence on both the offseason market, and as a potential trade chip this July.  The Rockies dropped to 10-18 after today’s loss, and the recent resignation of Jeff Bridich as the team’s GM is perhaps a sign that Colorado is preparing for a change of direction and perhaps a selloff at the trade deadline.

        A lot.

        The Braves should trade for him.

        Anyways, x-rays are negative so the Braves might still have a chance to get him and finish at .500.

          As a Mets fan I’ve learned not to count out those pesky Braves. The Rockies seem like they refuse to trade players at the right time if at all though. Gotta suck for Rockies fans.

      I’d be careful with Story. His home/road splits. 35 more homers, and 50 pts higher avg at home.

        So were DJ Lemahieu’s. Seriously, everyone knows Coors is the best hitting park in the league and yet people are surprised when Rockies players hit a lot better at home.

    If Story has to be gone form the team for a while due to IL, that would hurt the Rockies chances to trade him before the Trade Deadline. It will be interesting to see what the new interim Rockies GM can do with the franchise.
