Keith Meister, MD, completed the surgery of Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story on Jan. 9 at the Texas Metroplex Institute in Arlington, according to a report from mlb.com.

Mr. Story underwent an internal bracing procedure of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow after experiencing pain while training for the upcoming season, the report said.
