Well, this isn’t fun. Chris Sale, undisputed ace of the Red Sox, and front-runner of the American League Cy Young discussion, has returned to the Disabled List with the same injury that put him on it earlier this month. The dreaded left shoulder inflammation.
The #RedSox today placed LHP Chris Sale on the 10-day disabled list with mild left shoulder inflammation, retroactive to Wednesday, August 15. To fill Sale’s spot on the 25-man roster, the club recalled RHP Brandon Workman from Triple-A Pawtucket.

With any luck, this is just another precautionary measure, and with the Red Sox up by 10.
