Manager Alex Cora said an MRI on Sale's ribs showed "some healing," but the veteran left-hander remains without a timeline to start a throwing program, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Sale underwent a follow-up MRI on Thursday to check his recovery from a stress fracture on the right side of his rib cage, and it appears he requires a bit more rest before being cleared to throw. The 33-year-old is expected to remain at extended spring training once the regular season begins to continue his throwing program, though it's unclear when Sale will be able to resume it.
