Chris Sale had an abscessed tooth removed on Monday, but it's not expected to impact his availability for his next scheduled start Friday against the Angels.

Sale admitted that he's feeling it a little, but fortunately he still has multiple days to get well. The 24-year-old southpaw tossed a one-hit shutout Sunday night against the Angels and holds a 2.88 ERA and 49/12 K/BB ratio in 56 1/3 innings over eight starts this season.

Chris Sale threw a complete game one-hitter in Sunday night's win over the Angels.

Sale was perfect through six innings before giving up a single to Mike Trout. It was a dominant performance against a struggling Angels' lineup and his fifth straight quality start. Sale didn't allow any walks and finished with seven strikeouts. He now owns a 2.88 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 49/12 K/BB ratio through 56 1/3 innings this season. Sale will pitch against the Angels again on Friday in his next start.

Chris Sale tossed 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball in Chicago's 2-1, 10-inning win over the Royals on Monday.

Sale struck out five and walked none in a no-decision. Both the quality start and seven-inning effort were Sale's sixth in seven outings this season. He's sporting a 3.42 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 42/12 K/BB ratio through 47 1/3 innings. Building nicely on his dominant 2012, Sale will get the Angels at home on Sunday.

Chris Sale will start Monday against the Royals.

The White Sox had been hoping that Jake Peavy (back) would be ready, but he's not and might need a DL stint. Sale will be pitching on regular rest, while Hector Santiago will go on normal rest on Tuesday.

Chris Sale allowed two runs over seven innings to pick up his third win of the season as the White Sox beat the Rangers 5-2 on Wednesday.

It was just another day at the office for Sale, who has now worked at least seven innings in five of his six starts this year. It was also the third-straight outing in which he's allowed just two earned runs. Sale has been a bit unlucky in the win column, but otherwise it's been a promising start to the left-hander's sophomore campaign as a starting pitcher. He'll get the Mets next.

Chris Sale held the Rays to two runs and four hits in seven innings in a victory on Thursday.

With maybe the league's worst 5-though-9 this side of Houston, the Rays aren't a particularly tough assignment for a pitcher right now. Sale's not complaining after taking two losses and a no-decision in his previous three starts. He's now 2-2 with a 4.09 ERA and a 30/10 K/BB ratio in 33 innings.

Chris Sale fell to 1-2 despite a fine showing Thursday, as he limited the Blue Jays to three runs -- two earned -- while striking out six over seven innings.

The left-hander gave up just four hits and walked one. Sale was roughed up in his last outing in Cleveland, but he's pitched well in his other three starts and has struck out nearly a batter per inning. He'll try to get back in the win column next week with another crack at the Indians.

Chris Sale was pounded for eight earned runs in 4 1/3 innings Saturday in a loss to the Indians.

It was a rare blowup for Sale, who gave up eight hits -- including two homers -- in the defeat. He walked two and struck out three. The lanky left-hander should be able to bounce back next week against the Blue Jays.

Chris Sale - S - White Sox

Chris Sale scattered seven hits over 7 2/3 innings as the White Sox edged the Royals 1-0 on Monday.

Sale struck out seven and walked one in the gem. Every hit that he allowed was a single. Sale could be a Cy Young candidate if he stays healthy this season. Many worry about his delivery and slight build, but he's about as tough to hit as any AL starter.

Chris Sale - S - White Sox

Chris Sale pitched well Tuesday in his final tune-up before Opening Day, tossing four innings of one-run ball against the Rangers.

Sale struck out five and allowed just one hit, though it was a solo homer to Geovany Soto. The lanky left-hander has had a nice spring, posting a 3.86 ERA and 0.90 WHIP to go along with 16 strikeouts over 23 1/3 frames. He has fantasy ace potential in 2013.

Chris Sale - S - White Sox

Chris Sale had his longest outing of the spring on Thursday, as he allowed three runs over seven innings in a win over the Brewers.

Sale gave up four hits, one walk and also hit a batter. After allowing an inside-the-park home run to Ryan Braun in the top of the first inning, he later served up a legitimate blast to Donnie Murphy in the third. Aside from that, he cruised for the most of the afternoon. Sale posted a 3.05 ERA and 192/51 K/BB ratio over 192 innings last season and should be drafted among the top 20 starting pitchers in mixed fantasy leagues.

Chris Sale was named the White Sox Opening Day starter on Saturday by manager Robin Ventura.

It's a well-deserved honor for the soon-to-be 24-year-old. Sale won 17 games with a 3.05 ERA in 2012, garnering some American League Cy Young votes in the process. Earlier this spring, the young lefty was given a $32.5 million extension by the White Sox. It's only fitting that he'd start earning that raise on the first day of the season.

Chris Sale tossed five innings of one-run ball in Monday's 3-1 Cactus League win over the Rockies.

It was his first time on the mound since inking a five-year, $32.5 million contract extension with the White Sox last Thursday. Sale issued no walks and struck out two. He boasts a 1.23 ERA in the Cactus League.

White Sox signed LHP Chris Sale to a five-year, $32.5 million contract extension.

The extension, which includes club options for 2018 and 2019, will cover his final pre-arbitration season, all three of his arbitration seasons and at least one year of free agency. Sale will make $850,000 this season, $3.5 million in 2014, $6 million in 2015, $9.15 million in 2016 and $12 million in 2017. The White Sox hold a $12.5 million option (or $1 million buyout) for 2018 and a $13.5 million option for 2019 (or a $1 million buyout). If Sale maxes out on the deal, he would make a total of $57.5 million. There's risk to committing to any young pitcher, but this could work out very favorably for the White Sox if Sale can hold up.
