The sale is not ready to launch for the Red Sox in Game 5 of ALCS
Chris Sale, the ace of the Boston Red Sox, still felt weak on Wednesday and will not start Game 5 of the American League Championship Series.
Sale pitched in the gardens for 10-15 minutes before game 4 in Houston, but manager Alex Cora said he did not pitch a bullpen session as scheduled.
Cora said the nasty lefty left-handed still felt weak and had lost some weight due to an upset stomach that forced him to spend a night in a hospital after he opened ALCS's first game against the Astros.
"He feels better compared to yesterday, but physically he is not there yet," Cora said before Game 4. "So I think that if necessary, he will launch Game 6. He feels that he will be ready for that. there ".
The Red Sox took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series in Wednesday night's game. Game 6, if necessary, would be Saturday night in Boston.
Dave Dombrowski, president of the team baseball The operations, said Sale, told him "he's fine and he'll be ready to go on Saturday."
Cora did not announce a starter for Game 5, adding that the decision will be dictated by the outcome of Game 4.
"We have some options, but we will manage this, we will see where we are at the end and we will decide who starts tomorrow," said Cora. "I'm learning very, very fast that in the playoffs you live today, you decipher today, win or lose, and tomorrow you have a lot of time to think about it."
Those options include Game 2 starter David Price, Eduardo Rodriguez or Joe Kelly.
The sale did not speak to reporters on Wednesday.
Cora said earlier this week that Sale started to feel bad right after Game 1 and went to a hospital on Sunday morning.
The sale was launched Monday from the Massachusetts General Hospital after staying there overnight for observation. He rejoined the team on Tuesday in Houston before Game 3.
The club has not specified Sale's illness or treatment, although Cora said it was nothing serious.
Sale had problems with his control in Boston's 7-2 loss to the Astros on Saturday night. He allowed two runs, four walks and hit a batter in four innings.
The southpaw made only one start between July 27 and September 11 due to a slight swelling of the left shoulder, then made four starts during the remainder of the regular season. He defeated the Yankees in the first game of the Division Series and pitched a relief in Game 4 when the Red Sox won the best-of-five series.
