Daily Red Sox Links: Chris Sale, Andrew Benintendi, Drew Pomeranz

Chris Sale may not have had his best game of the season last night, but there’s no reason to freak out. (Evan Drellich; CSNNE)

It is possible that the dud he threw yesterday could cost him the Cy Young Award as Cleveland’s Corey Kluber continues an excellent second half. (Scott Lauber; ESPN)

Even with the Cy Young on the line, the Red Sox would be smart to give Sale a break. (Nick Cafardo; Boston Globe)

The more pressing issue right now is the injuries befalling the Sox, especially after Andrew Benintendi fouled two pitches of his legs. (Jen McCaffrey; MassLive)

Disintegrating velocity is not something you want to see this time of year but its what’s happening to Drew Pomeranz. (Alex Speier; Boston Globe)

Speaking of injuries, Dustin Pedroia should be playing every day in the playoffs. (Jason Mastrodonato; Boston Herald)

Mookie Betts also appears to have a good outlook medically speaking. (Evan Drellich; CSNNE)

Mitch Moreland has been plenty healthy this season and done some good things in the process. (Owen Pence; Boston Globe)
