Firstly, the title of the article implies that Trevor Story will have season-ending surgery when it's not entirely clear if he will be out for six months or less. Secondly, the author quotes Craig Breslow as saying 'Difficult to speculate beyond that', but then proceeds to do exactly that by stating in their own words what they believe the outcome of Story's injury is. Thirdly, there are no sources disclosed in this article.

Thirdly, the article mentions Nick Pivetta being placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right elbow flexor strain but does not mention any other injury or condition that may have caused this.

Everyone is very familiar with the road that Trevor has taken over the last few years
Not going to hide from what he meant to this team defensively and had full confidence that offensively he was going to contribute as well.
The prognosis for a recovery is excellent
The Sox seem him primarily as a second baseman
We saw what he could do in spring training. I think, fortunately, he emerged as a leader of this team and there's still going to be a way for him to positively impact it.
