According to Red Sox manager Alex Cora, Sale looked crisp during his bullpen session on Thursday.
"It's excellent," Cora added. "With a solid changeup, he threw 94, 95." That is the distinction between this year and the previous year. Last year, he was a two-pitch pitcher [fastball-slider] for a month and a half, and this year, he's so far away from surgery that this will play. We were discussing it."
According to Cora, the sale will likely throw one more live BP session before heading to a Minor League rehab assignment.
