Boston Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale has been placed on the 10 day injured list with elbow inflammation, it was announced today. Sale reportedly is going to see Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion on his left elbow.
This is just the latest blow it what has been a disappointing season for the BoSox, who are 6.5 games out of a Wild Card spot. While the bullpen has been the focus of fans’ ire, Rick Porcello has been bad this year, Chris Sale has not performed up to his usual standards, and Nathan Eovaldi missed significant time before being moved to the bullpen.
