Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale could be looking at some time off for throwing behind Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado in the first inning of yesterday’s game, according to Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal.
Just spoke with MLB chief baseball officer Joe Torre. No pre-game warnings for #RedSox, #Orioles tonight. Sale suspension likely. Story soon
