The troubles for famous pitcher Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox have seemingly no end at present. The ongoing MLB season has been one of the worst campaigns for the Red Sox in a long time. While the team is failing to win games, Sale is repeatedly struggling with injuries. 

Chris Sale is a popular baseball player who plays as a starting pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. A seven-time All-Star player Sale has a magnificent 114-75 win-loss record. His heavy strikeout rate makes him a scary presence for the opposition. He began his MLB career with the Chicago White Sox in 2010. 

The Red Sox acquired Sale in a blockbuster trade in 2017. He got bought as a match-winner and lived up to the expectations. Making significant contributions, he won the World Series Championship with the Red Sox in 2018. But since 2020, fitness issues have riddled his career, thereby impacting his performance. Now Sale has a broken wrist from a bike accident. 

Chris Sale: Another season ruined by injuries 

The ongoing MLB season is moving on from bad to worse for the Red Sox. Possibly one of the worst ever in terms of performances. A poor 54-57 win-loss record means the Red Sox are out of any title contention. Add to that, a season-ending injury to a star player.

Chris Sale broke his right wrist in a bike accident last week. So he underwent surgery on Monday, which puts him away for the remaining season. Sale already missed most of this season earlier due to a rib cage injury. He also fractured the little finger of his pitching hand after being hit by a line drive in his second game of this season. 

Notably, Sale also had a violent emotional outburst post-recovery from a broken rib cage. Playing in a minor league game for the Woosox he took out his frustration on the team pavilion. As Sale got replaced after pitching just 3⅔ innings, he smashed the clubhouse in anger.

According to a source the Red Sox Chief Officer, Chaim Bloom, spoke about Sale’s bike accident saying, “You couldn’t make this up. It stinks. It’s really unfortunate. We’re relieved this wasn’t worse, obviously. Very glad this wasn’t worse. But it’s been such a run of bad luck for him and obviously for us.” 

The situation at present 

Sale’s broken wrist is now stabilized through an open reduction for internal fixation surgery. He is supposed to heal in two months. Missing the entire 2020 season due to a ligament surgery, he started in nine games last season. Jinxed by a string of injuries, he could only pitch a total of 5⅔ innings this season.
