CHICAGO - Chris Sale arrived on the last player bus to Wrigley Field dressed in a dark suit, walked into the cramped visiting clubhouse, scanned the room and smiled.
He hugged teammates Dioner Navarro and Matt Albers, then did a lap around the clubhouse, greeting each player sitting at his locker.
“Good to see you, pal,” third baseman Todd Frazier said.
Chicago White Sox players warmly greeted their ace as the five-time All-Star returned to the team Thursday following his jersey-tearing incident last weekend that earned him a five-day suspension. Sale was to start later against the crosstown Cubs.
