No timeline for return
Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said Monday that while the team fully anticipates Sale to pitch again this season, it won't have a timeline until it sees how the pitcher's fractured left ribcage heals, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Sale suffered the ribcage fracture while making a diving play during his start last Wednesday against the Mets and was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday. He will remain with the major-league club on its road trip because the team travels with a machine that Sale will use to help stimulate bone healing. Atlanta should have more on Sale's progress in the coming weeks.

Placed on injured list
Atlanta placed Sale on the 15-day injured list with a fractured left ribcage Saturday, retroactive to Thursday.
Analysis
Sale made a diving play in the ninth inning of Wednesday's game against the Mets, and he damaged his ribs in the process. He'll be eligible to return from the IL in early July, though it's likely he'll need more than a minimum-length stay. Austin Cox will come up from Triple-A Gwinnett to give Atlanta extra bullpen depth, and the team will likely keep Didier Fuentes in the rotation for now to replace Sale.

Comes up short of shutout
Sale (5-4) notched the win Wednesday against the Mets, giving up five hits and one walk in 8.2 scoreless innings. He struck out seven.
Analysis
The All-Star left-hander narrowly missed out on what would've been his fourth career shutout, as Brandon Nimmo poked a bloop single to end the hurler's bid with two outs in the ninth inning. Sale still continued his recent tear on the mound, twirling at least six innings while allowing one run or fewer in his sixth straight start. His slow start to the year is becoming a distant memory, as Sale has drastically improved his 6.17 ERA from April 19 to 2.53 on the campaign following Wednesday's gem. The southpaw boasts a 1.23 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 82:19 K:BB over his last 10 appearances (66 innings), and he's scheduled for a rematch against the Mets early next week.
