Chris Sale lands on Red Sox DL with shoulder inflammation

The Boston Red Sox placed pitcher Chris Sale on the 10-day disabled list with left shoulder inflammation.

What It Means:

The injury is seemingly coming out of nowhere as Sale showed no signs of an injury his last time out as he struck out 10 over 6 scoreless innings on Friday. No word on the extent of the injury but he will miss at least one start. Brandon Workman was called up in a corresponding move.

Sale has been brilliant this season, posting a 2.04 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and 11-4 record while striking out 207 batters in 141 innings pitched.
