The Red Sox have not yet set a timetable for Sale (rib) to resume throwing, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.
Sale sustained a stress fracture to his right rib cage in February and remains sidelined. Browne indicated injuries of this nature often take 6-to-8 weeks to heal, which means the left-hander may not resume throwing for another couple of weeks. At this point, projecting a date for Sale to take the mound in game action is simply guesswork. Browne believes Sale won't pitch for the Red Sox in a major-league game before May.
