LOS ANGELES — Coloado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story was removed from a critical game Monday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers with an apparent back injury.
Story swung and missed on a 2-1 pitch from Hyun-Jin Ryu in the fourth inning before walking a few steps up the third base line. He got into a crouch and leaned on his bat as he was met by manager Bud Black and a member of the Rockies' training staff.
He exited after a short conversation. Pat Valaika finished his at-bat by flying out to left field.
Story this season became the first shortstop in major league history with at least 40 doubles, 30 home runs and 25 steals.
His 33 homers are the most by a shortstop in club history.
