The Chris Sale situation is not ideal for the Red Sox. We were supposed to get some information this morning, but that was delayed as the team wanted to get another opinion on the MRI. This, understandably, had some worried, but we simply had no information. Well, now we have a little more. Ken Rosenthal is reporting that Sale will avoid Tommy John Surgery, at least for now.
So, obviously this doesn’t totally ease anyone’s anxiety about this situation. Those three words, “at this point,” are doing a whole lot of work in this report. There is at least the possibility still open that he’ll need the surgery down the road.
