The Braves’ spring training is off to a strong start as their entire roster, excluding Marcell Ozuna, has reported for duty. One encouraging development is Chris Sale’s positive outlook on his health.

Sale expressed feeling better than he has in spring training for the past six years, which is significant considering his struggles with injuries in recent seasons.

When healthy, Sale has proven to be an effective and dominant pitcher. If he can maintain his routine and return to top form, it would be a tremendous boost for the Braves, especially alongside other strong starters like Spencer Strider and Max Fried. A healthy and firing rotation could be a formidable force for Atlanta, particularly in the playoffs. Fans are hopeful that Sale’s positive comments bode well for the upcoming season.
