Trevor Story is back.
The 24-year-old shortstop, who missed 12 games with a strained left shoulder, was reinstated from the 10-day disabled list Tuesday.
Starting pitcher Jeff Hoffman, who allowed one run on three hits in seven innings on Monday, was optioned back to Triple-A Albuquerque to make room for Story.
Story is batting .180 with 48 strikeouts this season. As a rookie, he blasted 27 home runs in 97 games.
