White Sox ace Chris Sale will not be used for more than six innings or 90-95 pitches, whichever comes first, manager Robin Ventura told reporters on Friday, per ESPN. On Wednesday, Sale was cleared to make his season debut Sunday against the Twins after missing Opening Day due to an avulsion fracture in his foot.
"If (the injury) was his arm, that would be one thing, but he's looked great in the past of just his mechanics and watching him in spring getting closer and closer to where he is now," Ventura said. "We're pretty happy with where he is now with that and you want to make sure you're not running him out there and not getting him overextended."
