Boston Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story will miss his second straight game Monday because of flu-like symptoms.

The Red Sox open a three-game series against the Tigers, and manager Alex Cora told MLB Network Radio on Monday that Story traveled to Detroit apart from the team.

Story tested negative for COVID-19 on Sunday.

Story was the big offseason acquisition for the Red Sox, signing a six-year, $140 million contract as a free agent.

The 29-year-old batted .251 with 24 home runs and 75 RBIs in 2021 for the Rockies. He was a .272 hitter with 158 homers, 450 RBIs and 100 stolen bases in 745 games with Colorado.
