Chris Sale News
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (wrist) underwent season-ending surgery on Monday after injuring his wrist during a bicycle accident on Saturday. The surgery was officially described as an open reduction and internal fixation of a right distal radius (wrist) fracture. Sale is expected to be ready for the start of spring training next year. The 33-year-old southpaw got a late start to the season while dealing with a rib-cage injury, then he needed surgery to fix a broken left pinkie finger that was hit by a line drive in just his second start of the year. Since 2020, Sale has made just 11 starts for Boston due to an assortment of injuries. It's good news that he's expected to be ready next spring, but he's becoming an extreme injury risk at this stage of his career.
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (finger) has started playing catch again, according to manager Alex Cora. However, the Red Sox haven't given a timetable for his return after having surgery on July 18, which was described as an "open reduction and internal fixation of a left fifth finger proximal phalarix fracture." Sale broke his left pinkie finger on a line drive against the division-rival New York Yankees in just his second start of the year on July 17. The 33-year-old southpaw got a late start to the 2022 season due to injured ribs, and now fantasy managers will have to wait for him again in what has been another lost season due to injuries. Sale is worth stashing in all fantasy leagues, but it remains to be seen how much he'll help down the stretch.
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (finger) underwent an open reduction and internal fixation of a left fifth finger proximal phalanx fracture on Monday, according to the team. Sale fractured his left pinkie finger on a comebacker from New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks on Sunday, and he'll now be forced to miss around the next two months after just recently making his 2022 season debut after returning from a rib-cage fracture. It's been that kind of year for the 33-year-old southpaw, and although he's optimistic that he'll pitch again this year, fantasy managers in shallow mixed leagues might have no choice but to drop him for the start of the second half of the season.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (rib) returned for the end of the 2021 regular season after missing most of the season as well as the entirety of the 2020 season recovering from elbow injuries and Tommy John surgery. The nine starts he did turn in looked pretty good overall, going 5-1 with a 3.16 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 28.4% strikeout rate. The results were encouraging, but a new recent injury, a right rib stress fracture will start the 33-year-old on the 60-day injured list for the 2022 season, sidelining him for at least two months. It is disappointing for both Sale and fantasy managers, as his 2021 performance put him at an average draft position as high as the 50s earlier in the off-season. Sale hasn't pitched close to 200 innings since 2017 and has appeared in only nine games since the end of the 2019 season. His overall ADP has already fallen to about 97, but, despite the skills he showed last season, his injury risks make him a late-round pick at best in remaining fantasy drafts.
