Pitcher Chris Sale returns to the Atlanta Braves' roster after a rib injury, set to face the Phillies.

The Atlanta Braves have reinstated left-handed pitcher Chris Sale from the injured list, expecting him to start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. Sale, who won the National League Cy Young Award last season, had been sidelined since June 18 due to a fractured left rib cage. This season, he has a 2.52 ERA in 15 starts. Over his 15-season career, Sale has a 3.02 ERA and 2,528 strikeouts. The Braves optioned right-hander Nathan Wiles to Triple-A Gwinnett to make room for Sale.
