Chris Sale has bullpens scheduled for Tuesday and Friday, with his first live batting practice a week later, according to Red Sox manager Alex Cora.
The left-hander Sale, who is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, threw 45 pitches in Worcester on Friday and showed no ill effects, Joe McDonald of the Telegram & Gazette reported.
“That felt good,” Sale said, according to McDonald. “Just building up intensity now, trying to get reps, and get more comfortable throwing off the mound. Being able to throw all my pitches aggressively helps a lot.
