Atlanta lists Sale (illness) as its probable starter for Monday's game against the Angels in Anaheim.

Wed, Apr 01, 2026 at 4:08 PM

Sale (2-0) allowed one run on one hit over six innings Wednesday to record the win as Atlanta downed the A's 5-1. He struck out three without walking a batter.

Scouting Report

Possesses a great fastball, funky delivery due to a wiry frame, wicked slider and and loads of strikeout ability. His training as a closer helps him dominate, especially lefty bats. Is not always great at situational pitching, so he could stand to manage the game a little better at times. Right-handed hitters have more success against him, generally.

Long Range Potential: Dominant left-hander.
