Chris Sale is on the comeback trail. The Boston Red Sox have been without their ace since he landed on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation on August 18. They won’t be without him much longer.
A return is on the horizon. NBC Sports Boston’s Evan Drellich reports that Sale started a throwing program on Monday, a significant step in his recovery.
