Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (shoulder) tossed a bullpen on Tuesday, and according to Sonja Chen of MLB.com, he "felt good" afterwards.

Tyler Soderstrom Not Starting Tuesday

Oakland Athletics catcher/first baseman Tyler Soderstrom is absent from Tuesday's starting lineup for the game against the Boston Red Sox.

Seth Brown On The Bench Against Left-Hander

Oakland Athletics outfielder Seth Brown is on the bench to start Tuesday's matchup with left-hander Joe Jacques and the Boston Red Sox.
