Dr. Andrews is an esteemed doctor, but his name is most associated with Tommy John surgery. If Sale needs the procedure, he'd miss all of the 2020 season and probably some of the 2021 season. The team has already gotten the opinion of its own medical staff, and now they'll be hearing from two of the top sports physicians of all. That the Red Sox are working to build a consensus around Sale likely suggests they expect bad news from Dr. Andrews.
