Red Sox Ace Chris Sale Optimistic After Successful Tommy John Surgery

Chris Sale is feeling good.

The Boston Red Sox ace underwent Tommy John surgery March 30 to repair the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow. Nearly two months removed from going under the knife, Sale reportedly is feeling optimistic about his progress so far.
