It’s a Sale Day! If it seems as if it’s been a while since we’ve been able to say that it’s because it has. Nearly a month, in fact, since Chris Sale last made a start for the Boston Red Sox. Now, the ace is finally back.
Sale has been sidelined for the better part of the second half. He initially landed on the disabled list in late July with mild shoulder inflammation. After resting for a couple weeks, Sale returned to dominate the Baltimore Orioles on August 12, tossing five scoreless innings with 12 strikeouts.
