The Red Sox placed ace Chris Sale back on the disabled list with left shoulder inflammation, the team announced Saturday.
The move, retroactive to Aug. 15, marks the second time this month that Sale has been on the DL with inflammation in his throwing shoulder. Sale missed the first two weeks of August and returned last Saturday, looking dominant against the Orioles. The left only gave up one hit and struck out 12 batters in five scoreless innings.
After placing Sale on the 10-day DL Saturday, the Red Sox called up RHP Brandon Workman from Triple-A Pawtucket to fill his roster spot.
