Boston, Massachusetts - Boston Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale will miss the remainder of the MLB season after suffering a serious hand injury over the weekend.

The Boston Red Sox will undergo a roster change after its left-hander pitcher, Chris Sale, had to undergo surgery on Monday, the team announced via Twitter.

"Left-handed pitcher Chris Sale underwent an open reduction and internal fixation of a right distal radius (wrist) fracture," the statement read, adding that the procedure was successful.

Sale apparently suffered the injury in a bike accident on Saturday.

The 33-year-old is projected to return for the beginning of spring training in 2023, according to the team's statement.

A seven-time All-Star, Sale hoped to return by September following a fractured rib cage and finger surgery that left him missing the beginning of the 2022 season.

Sale already missed action in 2020 after a Tommy John surgery and only returned last year for nine starts.

In 2019, the former Chicago White Sox player signed a five-year, $145 million contract extension with the Red Sox.
