Sale got an MRI earlier this week after dealing with left elbow sorene s in spring training, and the Red Sox sought multiple medical opinions, including one from Dr. James Andrews.On Thursday, Sale told reporters that surgery remains a po sibility at some point. "I can't tell you how it feels," . "I can't tell you what the Bob Gainey Men Jersey proce s is until I pick up a baseball for the first time. As of right now, I'm just spinning my wheels."Barring further setback, Sale should begin throwing in about a week, at which point a potential timeline for his return should begin to take shape. "It's a gut punch," Sale said later. "It's a tough realization. But, I've said it time and time again, I've got no time to hang my head or sit in a corner and pout. I've got work to do and I've got an uphill Jacques Plante Kids Jersey battle to climb."Sale, 30, also battled elbow i sues in 2019 en route to a career-worst season where he went 6-11 with a 4.40 ERA.

Their playoff odds currently sit at 37.4 percent. Losing Sale for the season would cost them 4.2 percent from that figure, SportsLine projects.
