White Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale will throw long toss Wednesday, but is running out of time to get back to full strength in his recovery from a strained flexor muscle in his left arm.

"It's slim at the best," White Sox manager Robin Ventura told MLB.com Tuesday. "Again, he'll throw and we'll see how he does. He's going to be the best judge of that. We can sit here and make all the plans we want, but until he throws and feels 100 percent, he can go out there and nothing is going to jump back on him, then he would throw."

Sale is eligible to come off the disabled list this weekend, but will likely need more time.
