Impact The Red Sox likely won't have a firm diagnosis for Sale's injury until later Sunday or Monday, but the southpaw may be dealing with a dislocation or fracture after he was smoked in his pitching hand by an Aaron Hicks line drive that was clocked at 106.7 miles per hour. If a fracture is confirmed, Sale could be in store for his second extended stint on the injured list of the season after he missed the first three months of the campaign while recovering from a stress fracture to the right side of his rib cage.

Sale works 5 scoreless in debut, Red Sox lose 3-2 to Rays

Chris Sale worked five scoreless innings in his season debut, but the Boston bullpen couldn’t hold a two-run lead in a 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays

JULY 13, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Five shutout innings in return Sale struck out five in five scoreless innings while allowing three hits and a walk in a 3-2 loss Tuesday in Tampa Bay. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact In his season debut for the Red Sox, Sale scattered three hits and a walk and tossed 53 of his 78 pitches for strikes. He left the game with a 2-0 lead but the Red Sox bullpen allowed three runs in the sixth, denying Sale the opportunity to earn the win. The lefty was reportedly capped at 85 pitches so it's no surprise he was pulled after five. While the Red Sox have not yet made an official announcement on the weekend's starters, it's possible Sale could start Sunday against the Yankees.

Impact Sale will make his first start of the season against a depleted Rays lineup. The lefty displayed good stuff and velocity during his rehab starts but struggled with command at times, so it remains to be seen how he performs in his first big-league start since October.

On pitch limit Tuesday Sale (ribs) is scheduled to throw about 85 pitches when he makes his season debut Tuesday against Tampa Bay, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Sale, who was up to 72 pitches in his final rehab outing for Triple-A Worcester last Wednesday, will be working on an extra day of rest. He's penciled in to next start Sunday against the Yankees, the final game before the All-Star break.
