FACTS/FLUKES: Sale, Melky Cabrera, Kazmir, Martin, Uehara

Sale showing no rust after DL stint..When Chris Sale (LHP, CHW) missed a month earlier this year with a flexor muscle strain, his owners were probably concerned that he wouldn’t be the same once he returned. Rest easy; the only one of his five post-DL starts that wasn’t a PQS-5 outing was a rain-shortened outing.
