Named starter for Game 1 Sale will start Game 1 of the ALCS against the Astros on Friday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Sale struggled in Game 2 of the ALDS against the Rays and allowed five runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two in one inning. However, the southpaw will still take the mound to begin the ALCS, while Nate Eovaldi will start Game 2 on Saturday.

Did Boston Red Sox's Chris Sale 'find it' in bullpen like David Price did in 2018? Alex Cora hopes so Alex Cora would not say whether Chris Sale will be used as a starter or reliever.

OCTOBER 13, 2021 • MASSLIVE.COM

Available in relief Manager Alex Cora said Sale will be available out of the bullpen for Game 3 of the ALDS against the Rays on Sunday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Sale surrendered five runs in one frame during his Game 2 start Friday, and he'll be available as a reliever two days later since he threw only 30 pitches in that outing. Eduardo Rodriguez already lined up as the starter for a potential Game 5 on Wednesday, so working out of the bullpen shouldn't affect Sale's next turn through the rotation, which was already likely to come in the ALCS, should the Red Sox advance.

Hit hard in Game 2 Sale allowed five runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two in one inning during Friday's win over the Rays in Game 2 of the ALDS. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact The Red Sox gave Sale two runs of support in the top of the first inning, but the team's lead was erased when the Rays totaled five runs in the bottom half of the frame. The left-hander has allowed at least two runs in each of his last four appearances but could make an appearance later in the ALDS given the brevity of Friday's start.
