Alex Cora getting 'very excited' about Red Sox ace Chris Sale's eventual return

Chris Sale is getting closer, and even Alex Cora has to admit he's starting to get excited. The Red Sox ace came out of his 15-pitch session to live hitters on Saturday feeling great, the manager said. Sale will take an even bigger next step on Wednesday, when he'll pitch two innings to live hitters at Fenway Park as he continues to make positive progressions in his return from Tommy John surgery.
