White Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale, who threw a career-high 214 1/3 innings in 2013, has been throwing 4-5 days per week since the start of January, according to MLB.com. He's expected to throw 4-6 bullpen sessions before arriving for spring training.
"I talked to Coop [White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper], and he was adamant on me not going full bore and not spinning breaking balls before Arizona," Sale said. "I feel better about that. In the past, I've shown up to spring training not totally ready [for the season], but close to it. I'm going to come into [Arizona] this year and build up more than maintain."
