Sale is slated to make his next start during Atlanta's road series against the Yankees next weekend, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Sale was lined up to toe the rubber in Tuesday's series opener against Miami, but he will now be pushed back a few days. The southpaw has posted a 1.23 ERA and 0.59 WHIP with 31 strikeouts over 22 innings in his last four appearances, so Atlanta's decision to push him back in the pitching schedule isn't performance-based and is likely just a measure to build in some extra rest for him during the grueling season.
