What happened: Walt Weiss stated that Chris Sale will wait until Game 3 to pitch. Weiss explained that while Sale is on normal rest from his previous start, an intermediate relief outing necessitated the delay.

Why it matters: The move ensures the team gets the optimal version of the veteran rather than rushing him back to the mound. Weiss recently finalized Sale for the Game 3 start to maximize his overall effectiveness.

What to watch: Sale prepares for his scheduled outing in Game 3.
