A recent MRI showed progress but he has yet to resume throwing and will need to be built back up before being activated.

The 32-year-old started just nine games last season as he spent most of the year rehabbing following Tommy John surgery. In 42.2 innings pithed, Sale posted a 5-1 record with a 3.16 ERA and 52 strikeouts. 

In 241 career starts with the Red Sox and Chicago White Sox, the seven-time all star has a 114-74 record, 3.03 ERA and 2,059 strikeouts in 1672.1 innings.
