Chris Sale Expected To Go Four Innings Friday
1 year agoBoston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that the team expects left-hander Chris Sale (shoulder) to make the start on Friday against the Detroit Tigers and go four innings. The Red Sox are bringing Sale back from the injured list after he made just two minor-league rehab starts, so it's no surprise that he'll be on a limited pitch count in his first big-league appearance since early June. In his last rehab start for Triple-A Worcester, the 34-year-old southpaw tossed 54 pitches. Despite the excellent matchup against Detroit, Sale will have a low fantasy ceiling in his return on Friday. But he looked solid on his rehab assignment and deserves to be rostered in all fantasy leagues because of his strikeout upside when healthy.
