Fantasy Impact:

Sale recently came down with pneumonia, and interim manager Ron Roenicke stressed that the team will not rush him back until he's fully ready. Sale played catch Friday and Saturday, but is still not at full strength. With pitchers requiring a more comprehensive buildup, Sale's delayed start of full action might push his return past the start of the regular season.
