Red Sox starter Chris Sale broke his right wrist in a bike accident and underwent season-ending surgery Monday, the team announced. Amid fractured rib cage, a broken pinky on a comebacker and now this, Sale threw only 5.2 innings this season after posting 42.2 innings in 2021.

This is year 3 of Sale's 5-year, $145M extension that he signed prior to the 2019 season (one year from free agency). Through those first 3 years, he's made 14 total starts (reg season and playoffs) and thrown 57 1/3 innings.
