BOSTON — The light at the end of the tunnel is finally visible for Chris Sale.
The injured lefty is expected to get on the mound three times next week before the Red Sox re-evaluate him, but the next step could be a rehab assignment to kickstart his return to the big leagues for the first time since last October.
“I’m not 100 percent sure, but probably,” manager Alex Cora said of Sale’s pending rehab assignment.
