""Just mix it up," Cora said of his lineup changes, per Christopher Smith of MassLive. "Hopefully, a different spot helps you to unlock it and relax. But as you guys know, in this game, you can't control the at-bat.""
""Story's struggles to start this season have hindered the top of Boston's batting order, offering little protection behind Anthony through the first week-plus of the 2026 campaign.""
""Even if Yoshida's batting average doesn't leap off the page (.231), he has worked six walks so far this season.""
Trevor Story's struggles have led to his demotion in the batting order as the Boston Red Sox seek improvement. The team, currently 2-7, has reshuffled its lineup, placing Masataka Yoshida at second and Willson Contreras and Wilyer Abreu in the third and fourth spots. Story is batting .119 with no walks and 17 strikeouts in 42 at-bats. Manager Alex Cora hopes the changes will help Story relax and improve his performance against a strong pitching staff.
