BOSTON (AP) The Boston Red Sox put ace Chris Sale on the disabled list Tuesday with left shoulder inflammation http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-brandon-guyer-jersey , meaning he will miss his scheduled start this week against the New York Yankees.Sale said the soreness is in the same spot as usual after a start, but he wasn’t recovering as quickly. Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said there were no plans for an MRI.”It’s more of a short-term type thing,” Dombrowski said. ”But because it’s Chris, it becomes much more of a focus, understandably so. ”Sale had been scheduled to start the opener of a four-game series against the Yankees on Thursday night, and lefty Brian Johnson will make the start instead. Boston led New York by a season-high six games in the AL East heading into Tuesday night’s games.The move was retroactive to Saturday, meaning Sale could start again on Aug. 7, when Boston plays the Toronto Blue Jays.”If we were in a different position and they needed me to make this next start Erik Gonzalez Jersey , I would be out there pitching,” Sale said before the Red Sox played the Phillies at Fenway Park. ”I would make that start in two days.”Sale is leading the majors in strikeouts and tops the AL with a 2.04 ERA. The lefty is 5-0 in his last six starts and hasn’t given up a run in his last three outings.”When he said something today, we thought it was better that he not pitch rather than taking a chance with that,” Dombrowski said. ”We’re hoping it can be knocked out quickly. But any time you have Chris Sale, you’d rather not have him miss a start.”Right-hander Brandon Workman was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket to take Sale’s place on the roster.The announcement cast a shadow on a day that Ian Kinsler made his Red Sox debut, less than 24 hours after he was acquired from the Los Angeles Angels. Kinsler was in the lineup against the Phillies, batting sixth and playing second base.”They have a great thing going,” Kinsler said in the clubhouse before the game. ”You’re trying to fit in.” DETROIT (AP) — Left-hander Matt Moore and the rebuilding Detroit Tigers finalized a $2.5 million http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-josh-tomlin-jersey , one-year contract on Tuesday that allows him to earn an additional $1 million in performance bonuses.“Matt is a veteran left-handed starting pitcher with a solid three-pitch mix that we see competing for a spot in our rotation next season,” Tigers general manager Al Avila said. “He has the ability to effectively use the whole strike zone with his arsenal, and we’re excited for him to join our organization.”Moore would earn $100,000 each for 10, 14, 16, 18, 20 Carlos Carrasco Jersey , 24, 27 and 30 starts, and $200,000 for 32 starts.The 29-year-old was 3-8 with a 6.79 ERA for Texas in 12 starts and 27 relief appearances last season.He is 54-56 with a 4.56 ERA over eight seasons with Tampa Bay, San Francisco and Texas. The Rays drafted him in the eighth round in 2007 out of high school in New Mexico and he was 17-4 and an All-Star for Tama Bay in 2013.
