The progress that Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale has made with his ailing elbow is beginning to gain a bit more clarity and the outlook is surprisingly positive.
Sale’s follow-up appointment with Dr. James Andrews hasn’t been scheduled yet but GM Brian O’Halloran revealed that it will happen next month, reports MassLive’s Christopher Smith.
“We really anticipate ultimately he’ll have a pretty normal offseason. We expect that he’ll see Dr. Andrews in mid-November and then begin his throwing program shortly thereafter,” said O’Halloran.
Sale was placed on the injured list with left elbow inflammation following an August 13 victory in Cleveland and hasn’t been seen on the mound since.
