Chris Sale Says He Feels Great
4 years agoBoston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) said he's feeling great while he continues to rehab from Tommy John surgery on his left elbow. The left-hander hasn't been cleared to throw off a mound yet, and it will be months before he pitches in a game. Sale had a mild case of COVID-19 a few weeks ago and dealt with a neck issue that slightly delayed his throwing, but he appears to be back on track in spring training. Boston will be conservative with him, but the good news is that there haven't been any setbacks with the 31-year-old arm. Sale is on track for a midseason return, but fantasy managers shouldn't have too high of expectations for the southpaw in the second half of the season, as pitchers often experience a lack of command upon their return from Tommy John surgery. The seven-time All-Star also missed the entire shortened season in 2020.
