Chris Sale News
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that left-hander Chris Sale (wrist) has thrown off a mound this offseason. Sale just has not been able to stay healthy for Boston in the last few seasons. He got a late start to 2022 and then broke his wrist in a bicycle accident in August. The 33-year-old southpaw only ended up making two starts for the Red Sox, but it sounds like he's getting his work in this offseason. However, we have no idea if Sale will be ready for the 2023 regular season, and quite honestly, fantasy managers shouldn't be holding their breath. The seven-time All-Star has had plenty of swing-and-miss stuff when healthy (career 11.1 K/9), but the injury risk now far outweighs the rewards with Sale.
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale has been on the radar of a few clubs around the league. The oft-injured 33-year-old started two games last season (and 11 in the previous three years), posting an 0-1 record along with a 3.18 ERA and five strikeouts. Sale has two years left on his current contract and has a no-trade clause. As a result, moving the veteran may be challenging, even if the team was actively looking to deal him. While it's apparent Sale's best days are well behind him, he could have plenty of quality outings left in the tank if he can remain healthy moving ahead.
Boston Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale has informed the team that he won't opt out of the final two years of his five-year, $145 million deal, as expected. Both Sale and the Red Sox will now be hoping that he can remain healthy, something he hasn't been able to do for the first three years of his contract. The 33-year-old southpaw has thrown just 48 1/3 innings (11 starts) for Boston in the last three years due to injury. Tommy John surgery kept him off the mound for all of the shortened 2020 season and most of last year, and he only made two appearances in 2022 before requiring season-ending wrist surgery. Sale is expected to be recovered in time for spring training next year, but he'll be an extreme risk/reward pick for fantasy managers given his injury history.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale is looking to get back on the field and stay healthy in 2023. The southpaw has pitched just 48.1 innings over the last three seasons due to injury, including a rib fracture, broken pinky, and broken wrist sustained over three separate incidents in 2022. The former first-round pick has looked great when healthy, headlined by a 1.98 FIP in 2019 and 13.8 WAR over his first two seasons with the Red Sox. More recently, he accrued 7.94 K/9, 1.59 BB/9, and a 50.0 GB% through his two outings last year. With Nathan Eovaldi and Michael Wacha off the roster, Sale has a clear path to being Boston's ace in 2023 as long as he can stay healthy. All signs indicate that the 6-foot-6 hurler should be ready for Opening Day, making him a value pick at his current ADP of 169.0.
