White Sox ace left-hander Chris Sale has had his next start moved up from Monday against the Dodgers to Sunday against the Padres. He only pitched three innings in his Tuesday outing due to a lengthy rain delay that precluded the possibility of him returning to the mound.
Sale has been downright filthy since returning from a five-week trip to the disabled list. He has given up just one hit and fanned 14 in nine innings over those two starts.
The switch from a road start in Los Angeles to a home start against weak-hitting San Diego is potentially a quite positive development for Sale.
