The Atlanta Braves placed reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale on the 15-day injured list because of a fractured left rib cage.

Chris Sale, the reigning Cy Young winner in the National League, is headed to the injured list with a fractured left ribcage, the team announced on Saturday. This is just another gut punch for a Braves team that has experienced a season full of them.

The price of trying to preserve a shutout was costly for Chris Sale. The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a fractured left rib cage. He suffered the injury Wednesday when diving off the mound in the ninth inning of the Braves’ 5-0 victory against the Mets, The Athletic reported.
