Trevor Story may not be able to help the Colorado Rockies make a push for the playoffs in the last two months of the season. Story could miss the rest of the season with a torn ligament in his left thumb, putting the brakes on his record-setting rookie season and a damper on Colorado’s recent surge in the standings.

FILE - In this July 26, 2016, file photo, Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story sits in the dugout during batting practice before the team's baseball game against the Baltimore Orioles in Baltimore. Story could miss the rest of the season with a torn ligament in his left thumb. An MRI on Monday, Aug. 1, 2016, revealed that Story suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament while sliding into second base during Saturday's win over the Mets. He said Tuesday he hopes to have surgery "in the next few days" and that the typical rehab time is eight weeks.
