Sale to return from DL Sunday

Boston Red Sox ace

Chris Sale is scheduled to come off the 10-day disabled list and start against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.

Sale (11-4) has not pitched since July 27 against Minnesota because of mild left shoulder inflammati­on.

He will have missed two starts when he returns to the Red Sox rotation and pitches in Baltimore.

Sale leads the American League with a 2.04 ERA and 207 strikeouts.

Nationals sign Greg Holland

The Washington Nationals announced Tuesday they have signed free agent reliever Greg Holland.

Holland, a three-time All-Star with 186 career saves, worked out with Washington on Monday.

Browns rookie Callaway cited for pot possession

Antonio Callaway didn't take long to run into trouble with the Browns. The fourth-round draft pick and wide receiver from Florida, who arrived in Cleveland with a history of issues while in college, was cited early Sunday morning for marijuana possession and driving with a suspended license.

According to a report by police in Strongsvil­le, Ohio, Callaway was pulled over in his car after he failed to yield to oncoming traffic. Police found a "small amount" of marijuana and cited Callaway.

Callaway was suspended while at Florida last season for involvemen­t in a credit card fraud case, and he provided a diluted urine sample at the NFL combine.

Foles misses another practice

Nick Foles has missed three straight practices because of muscle spasms near his shoulder and neck and Carson Wentz still isn't participat­ing in 11-on-11 drills for the Philadelph­ia Eagles.

Foles' injury isn't considered serious, but it's uncertain whether the Super Bowl MVP will play in the preseason opener Thursday night against Pittsburgh. Wentz is coming back from surgery to repair a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee.
