Chris Sale Returns to Braves Rotation After Two-Month IL Stint

The Atlanta Braves have reinstated left-hander Chris Sale from the 60-day injured list, with the veteran pitcher expected to start Saturday night's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Sale, 36, had been sidelined since June due to a fractured left rib cage but had completed multiple rehab starts. He currently holds a 5-4 record and a 2.52 ERA through 15 starts this season, and his return is a significant boost for the Braves.
