Sale (elbow) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to make his season debut for the Red Sox on Aug. 14 against the Orioles, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.
The veteran left-hander made his fifth and final rehab start Saturday at Triple-A Worcester and allowed two hits with eight strikeouts and three walks over 4.2 scoreless frames. Sale eclipsed the 80-pitch mark during the rehab assignment, so he shouldn't face significant workload limitations in his first big-league start since 2019, though the Red Sox are likely to remain cautious with his usage to some extent as he returns from Tommy John surgery.
