Can we talk briefly about how broken Chris Sale must be? It took him 15 pitches to strike out the side in the 9th.

A formality, but the Sox officially pick up his option for 2019.

So now that the playoffs are over, any word on what the injury is that he's dealing with? He came through when it counted, but he obviously hasn't been 100% for a few months now.

No reason to believe it isn't shoulder inflammation as has been reported all along.
