BOSTON (AP) — Boston Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale will miss his next start and may have to go onto the injured list with a sore shoulder, manager Alex Cora said on Friday.

The seven-time All-Star, who hasn't had an injury-free season since 2017, left Thursday night's start against Cincinnati in the fourth inning after two visits from the medical staff. The team was awaiting the results of an MRI on Friday morning, when Cora said Sale reported soreness.

“We don't know where we're at, but it's a possible IL,” Cora said before Friday night's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Sale, 34, has been to the IL in each of the last five seasons, missing all of 2020 while recovering from Tommy John surgery.
