July 1, 2025 5:19 PM : Atlanta transferred Sale (ribs) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
Analysis: Sale landed on the injured list in late June due to a ribcage fracture. Manager Brian Snitker said last week that the team still expects Sale to return before the end of the season, though the left-hander's move to the 60-day IL ensures that won't be back until at least Aug. 20. The team acquired Hunter Stratton from Pittsburgh on Tuesday, replacing Sale on the 40-man roster, and Didier Fuentes will likely remain Atlanta's fifth starter going forward.
