Atlanta Braves ace Chris Sale is out for the Wild Card Series against the San Diego Padres because of back issues
Atlanta Braves ace Chris Sale, the favorite for the National League Cy Young Award, is out for the Wild Card Series against the San Diego Padres because of back issues. Sale was a last-minute scratch Monday from the final game of the regular season, the nightcap of a makeup doubleheader against the New York Mets. Manager Brian Snitker said the Braves will be without their top starting pitcher when they face the Padres in a best-of-three series that begins Tuesday.
He kept getting pushed back, with Snitker insisting that he was simply trying to save the left-hander for an elimination game. General manager Alex Anthopoulos insisted the latest round of back spasms only cropped up after a throwing session on Sunday. 'He's been throwing all week just to keep his arm going,' Anthopoulos said. 'He went out to the cages to throw. He came in after and told us his back was tight. We talked to him about it and he told us he's pitched with worse.
