Red Sox ace Chris Sale doesn’t miss a beat in return from disabled list

The Boston Red Sox can never be too careful when it comes to the health of their ace. Chris Sale was given a brief break when he was placed on the disabled list with mild shoulder inflammation. He was expected to miss only one start but the team delayed his return in order to line up his spot in the rotation to avoid pitching in a National League park where he’d be forced to swing a bat. Sale finally made his triumphant return on Sunday, showing the time off did nothing to slow his recent string of dominance.
