Manager Alex Cora confirmed that Sale (hip) will be good to go for Thursday's Opening Day start against Tampa Bay, Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Sale suffered a bruised hip during his final spring training outing but was able to toss an aggressive bullpen session Monday without experiencing any issues. The left-hander shouldn't have any limitations heading into Thursday's start. During his first season with Boston in 2017, he logged a 2.90 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with a 308:43 K:BB over 32 starts.
