            <p>BOSTON - Left-Hander Chris Sale needs a month-and-a-half break without a shot, the Boston Red Sox announced on Monday.

Suffering from inflammation in the elbow, Sale received a platelet-rich plasma injection on Monday. It will be re-evaluated in six weeks.

Boston feared Sale would need Operation Tommy John, a scenario that threatened to make it unavailable in 2020.

Dirty has struggled like never before this year, posting a 6-11 record and averaging 4.40.

A five-game winning streak put the Red Sox in contention for the American playoff game.

They will start Tuesday a two-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies.
