Chris Sale, who hasn't had an injury-free season since 2017, is back on the IL with shoulder inflammation.
The Red Sox placed left-hander Chris Sale on the injured list with shoulder inflammation on Friday, another setback for the seven-time All-Star as he attempts to re-establish himself as a reliable member of the rotation.
A day after being pulled from a start in the fourth inning, Sale said doctors weren't sure what the injury was but he didn't expect to need surgery. Acknowledging his past arm problems, he said he had always come back before and will do so again. Sale, 34, who hasn't had an injury-free season since 2017, essentially remained on schedule for the first two months of this season, going 5-2 with a 4.58 ERA through 11 starts. Since getting knocked around for five runs in five innings by the Guardians on April 30, he was 4-0 with a 2.23 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 32 1/3 innings.
