Fantasy Impact:

Sale visited Dr. James Andrews on Monday and learned that while he will not need Tommy John surgery, he is being shut down for the rest of the regular season and will be re-evaluated in six weeks. He received a PRP shot in his left elbow. Passan adds that even if the Red Sox make the playoffs, Sale is unlikely to return.
