Chris Sale Could Face Hitters Next Week
2 years agoBoston Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale (ribs) is expected to throw a bullpen session in the next few days and could face live hitters sometime next week. Sale suffered a hairline fracture in his rib cage before the season but has been ramping up his activity of late. The team has yet to indicate when he will start a rehab stint but Sale will presumably need to make several starts in the minors before being ready to take the mound in a big-league capacity. Sale made nine starts for the Red Sox in 2021, posting a 5-1 record, 3.16 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 52 strikeouts over 42 2/3 innings of work.
