BOSTON -- Boston Red Sox infielder Trevor Story will be activated from the injured list and make his season debut on Tuesday, and onetime ace Chris Sale will return to the rotation on Friday, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said.
Speaking to reporters before Monday night's game against the Kansas City Royals, Cora said Sale will "most likely" start on Friday in the series opener against the Detroit Tigers. Sale was 5-2 with a 4.58 ERA before going on the injured list following a June 1 start in which he reported shoulder soreness.
