Chris Sale is on his way to Houston to rejoin his teammates after spending Sunday night at Massachusetts General Hospital due to a stomach illness. As encouraging as it is that Sale was released from the hospital without any significant concerns, his status for starting Game 5 of the ALCS for the Boston Red Sox remains questionable.
Manager Alex Cora told reporters prior to Tuesday’s Game 3 that he will meet with Sale and the team trainers to assess his status when the lefty arrives in Houston. Cora indicated that Sale will throw a side session today.
