Chris Sale headed to DL with shoulder inflammation

The Boston Red Sox announced this afternoon that likely American League Cy Young, Chris Sale, was moved to the disabled list because of an inflamed shoulder. Apparently, the injury is mild and Boston expects him back in 10 days. (Red Sox on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

More than likely, this is a precautionary trip to the DL to get Sale ready for the playoffs. The Red Sox already have the AL East wrapped up so there is no need to push it with a minor pain to their ace. Your fantasy team will certainly miss him for two weeks, however.
