The White Sox have suspended staff ace Chris Sale for five days after his reported dispute over the team's uniforms for Saturday's game.

"Chris has been suspended for violating team rules, for insubordination and for destroying team equipment," White Sox GM Rick Hahn said in a statement Sunday. "While we all appreciate Chris' talent and passion, there is a correct way and an incorrect way to express concerns about team rules and organizational expectations."
