Rockies' Trevor Story: Undergoes surgery Thursday

Story (thumb) underwent surgery Thursday to repair a torn UCL in his thumb.

Analysis:

While it was initially thought that Story merely had a jammed thumb, follow-up tests revealed that he had in fact torn a ligament. Although there's been no official word on his shelf time, it seems likely that the shortstop will be shut down for the rest of the season. There's plenty of reason for excitement down the road for the 23-year-old, as he was on pace for 100-plus runs and RBI prior to the injury.
