Chris Sale unlikely to be ready for Opening Day

Chris Sale (illness) completed another bullpen session Wednesday, but his late start to spring training throwing will make it likely that he will not be ready by Opening Day. (Pete Abraham on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Sale has been dealing with the aftermath of pneumonia which, apparently, has been severe enough to delay his start to his spring throwing progression and seriously doubt his readiness for Opening Day. His first game appearance will likely come the week after next. The Red Sox seem to be taking Sale's illness extremely carefully, perhaps having him miss his first start or two if it means he will be healthy for the remainder of the season.
