Red Sox ace Chris Sale will undergoing Tommy John surgery
The Boston Red Sox have announced that left-handed pitcher Chris Sale will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the entire 2020 season.
We still don’t know when the season will begin for the Boston Red Sox but we know that it’s already over for lefty Chris Sale.
The club announced on Thursday that their ace will undergo the dreaded Tommy John surgery to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. The recovery period for this procedure can take a year, if not longer, ensuring that we won’t see Sale on the mound until 2021.
