“The Red Sox shortstop is headed to the injured list with a strained groin, according to The Athletic.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The evidence provides three different reasons for Trevor Story being on the IL: right elbow inflammation (Rockies), a dislocated left shoulder (Red Sox), and a hairline fracture near his right wrist (Red Sox). None of the provided sources mention a strained groin as the reason for his current IL status.

“Story, 33, reportedly has been battling tightness in his groin all season”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While Wikipedia confirms Trevor Story's identity and birth date (Nov 15, 1992), making him 32 or 33 depending on the current date, there is no evidence in the provided search results confirming he has been battling groin tightness all season. One search result mentions Brandon Ingram's groin tightness, which is irrelevant.

“committing six errors to go along with a minus-one defensive runs saved mark and a minus-two outs above average output, according to Fangraphs.”
DISPUTED
The claim states 6 errors, -1 DRS, and -2 OAA. However, the evidence from a web search explicitly states he has posted '0 DRS' and '-2 OAA' while totaling 'four errors' this season. This directly contradicts the claim's numbers (6 errors and -1 DRS).
