For the fifth day in a row, David Price did not play catch yesterday. At this point, his rehab from left elbow inflammation is not so much a march toward recovery. It’s more of a race against the clock.
The Red Sox have 39 games left to play in the final six weeks of the regular season. Price hasn’t thrown off a mound in nearly a month since his last start on July 22, and there’s not even a timetable for him to resume long toss, much less throw a bullpen session, begin a rehab assignment or get back in a game.
