Assuming this is fairly minor ailment, this shouldn’t make much of a difference on the field. Having thrown on Saturday, Sale was unlikely to be available until Thursday’s Game 5 or Wednesday’s Game 4 at the absolute earliest.

If the issue goes beyond that, it becomes a big issue for both Sale and his team.
Sale took a no-decision on Saturday. He allowed only one hit and struck out five. However, he walked four and was limited to only four innings as the Red Sox were defeated 7-2.
