Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale will not pitch in Thursday's Game 5 of the American League Championship Series because he is still weak from the stomach ailment that sent him to a Boston hospital on Sunday night.
Speaking before Game 4 on Wednesday, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Sale will pitch in Game 6, if necessary.
Sale returned to the team Tuesday in Houston. The club hasn't specified Sale's ailment or treatment, though Cora had said previously it was nothing serious.
