Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale avoids worst-case scenario
Boston Red Sox left-handed pitcher Chris Sale will reportedly avoid Tommy John surgery that threatened to wipe out his entire 2020 season.
We can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale is apparently planning to pitch this season after all.
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Sale is expected to avoid undergoing the dreaded Tommy John surgery that would have ended his season before it could begin.
Fans were ready to hit the panic button when Sale reported left elbow soreness following a throwing session. This is the same elbow that sent him to the injured list last August and has prevented him from taking the mound ever since.
