Chris Sale was hesitant to discuss how good he's feeling after another strong start for the Atlanta Braves. It's understandable that Sale wouldn't want to jinx himself after all the injuries he endured with the Boston Red Sox. Once one of the game's most dominant pitchers, the guy with the funky motion and nasty stuff, Sale managed just 31 starts over the past four seasons, spending far more time in the training room than he did on the mound.

The doctor examining Casas said such injuries are more commonly seen in hockey and football players following collisions, and expressed surprise Casas suffered the cartilage damage solely based on swinging. “He pretty much chalked it up to me being so big, rotating so fast so many times that I pretty much created a car crash within my body, and it was a matter of time before this happened,” said Casas. “He said it was something similar to a pitcher needing Tommy John, just an inevitable thing that was going to happen sooner or later.” Casas — who said it remains painful to breathe, thus rendering any cardio or strength training impossible — said he will require “a lot of rest to help it heal.”

Boston's pitching staff took another big hit Wednesday as the Red Sox placed starter Brayan Bello on the injury list with upper back tightness. Bello's injury means the Red Sox are missing three of five starters, and that doesn't include Lucas Giolito, the team's biggest offseason acquisition, who is out for the season with a torn elbow ligament. Bello felt tightness in his back following his most recent start, and the Red Sox decided to be cautious and put him on the IL.
