Atlanta Braves pitcher Chris Sale was ejected from today's game against the New York Yankees before the first pitch was thrown. Umpire Dan Merzel issued the ejection.
Sale, who was not scheduled to pitch in the game, was reportedly ejected for yelling at an umpire regarding a balk call made during Saturday's game. Braves manager Walt Weiss was also previously ejected for arguing a balk call in a recent loss.
The incident occurred prior to the start of the highly anticipated matchup. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
