4 years agoColorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story is absent from the lineup on Thursday vs. Julio Urias and the Los Angeles Dodgers. This looks to just be a day of rest for the 28-year-old shortstop so there's no concern here. Alan Trejo is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in his place. Story is off to a lackluster start this year with a .265/.308/.367 batting line with no home runs, four RBI, and one stolen base over 49 at-bats. He's still searching for his first long ball but nothing in his batted ball profile suggests he's in a slump. In any event, the day of rest should be good for him. He should start to pick it up at the dish soon.--Jon Mathisen - RotoBaller
