Chris Sale (35, Atlanta Braves) of the Atlanta Braves failed to take the postseason due to injury despite being a three-time National League pitcher. However, the injury seems to be relatively minor.
The Major League's official website, MLB.com , delivered Alex Anthropoloz's words about Atlanta players on the 5th (Korea time).
According to the report, Sale played a side session on the 5th without much difficulty. This means that the back injury suffered at the end of the regular season is not significant.
Sale will not likely be put on the operating table again. Sale is expected to put aside his regret for not being able to play in the postseason and prepare for the 2025 season.
Earlier, Sale was unable to play in the final doubleheader against the New York Mets on the 1st due to back spasms. He also failed to take the mound in the wild card game.
Atlanta, which lost its mound ace in an instant, packed early with two losses in its recent wild-card series against the San Diego Padres.
Sale is the flagship glass body of Major League Baseball. There is nothing strange about this back spasms that can greatly affect pitching in the 2025 season.
Sale's injury was minor, however, and he is expected to be on the starting mound for the opening game of the 2025 season. That's good news for Atlanta. 먹튀검증
