Well, Red Sox Nation we may be getting a new chapter in the novel that is Chris Sale‘s pesky left elbow. Boston’s ace is set to test the injured limb this Friday after taking time off to let it rest. The southpaw nearly dodged the baseball bullet of Tommy John surgery last week but isn’t fully out of the weeds just yet.
Sale is suffering from a flexor strain in his left elbow, the very elbow that caused him to be shut down early in 2019. He was able to avoid any major procedures during the winter and has been eager to get back on the mound.
