After the White Sox sent Chris Sale home on Saturday for cutting up the 1976 throwback uniforms he did not want to wear, they levied additional punishment with a five-game suspension. Saturday’s dismissal counts as the first day, so he will be eligible to return as early as Thursday, which is the final game of the White Sox-Cubs series. It basically amounts to one missed start.
The Sox recalled Anthony Ranaudo to take his place on the roster. While Ranaudo is a starter, he’ll likely be used in long relief, since Matt Albers had to start a Johnny Wholestaff game on Saturday after Jacob Turner was knocked out in the fourth inning on Friday.
