Red Sox Still Eyeing Injury-Prone Chris Sale as 2024 Opening Day Starter

Manager Alex Cora says Chris Sale is intended to be Red Sox's opening day starter in 2024 despite injury history.
Sale ended 2023 season healthy but has struggled with injuries for 6 straight years, causing months-long absences.
Red Sox may consider 6-man rotation in 2024 to account for inevitable injuries and missed time from Sale.
Despite injury concerns, Sale had strong September 2023 with 2.88 ERA over 5 starts.
Sale aims to work on strength and mobility in offseason to be ready for 2024 season opener.
