Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale will miss the rest of the 2022 season after breaking his wrist in a bike accident, it was announced today.
This is just the latest misadventure for Sale, who was one of the best pitchers in baseball through the 2018 season, and since then has seen things go sideways. Sale put up a 4.40 ERA in 25 starts in 2019 before having his season cut short due to elbow inflammation. He ended up undergoing Tommy John surgery in March, 2020, missing all of that season and much of 2021. Sale ended up making nine regular season and three postseason starts for Boston in 2021.
