Chris Sale leaves Red Sox-Yankees game with mangled pinky after Aaron Hicks comebacker
Chris Hughes
Chris Sale cannot escape the injury bug.
The Red Sox’s snake-bitten left-hander left Sunday’s start against the Yankees after being struck on his left pinky by a 106.7 mph line drive off the bat of Aaron Hicks. As the ball caromed off him and into right field, Sale beelined to the dugout, vigorously shaking his hand in pain and holding out his distorted pinky.
Sale lasted just ⅔ of an inning, allowing three hits and two earned runs.
Sale made his season debut on Tuesday, having been on the IL with a right rib stress fracture. He has pitched just 48 ⅓ big league innings since signing a five-year, $145 million contract extension in March 2019, having missed most of the past two seasons due to Tommy John surgery.
