Just as their rotation was starting to find its groove, the Boston Red Sox lost the pitcher who has arguably been their best starter this season. David Price‘s injury is a discouraging setback yet one this team can survive as long as it’s only a brief absence.
Price was placed on the 10-day injured list with left elbow tendinitis. The move was made retroactive to May 3, and while he won’t necessarily be ready to return when first eligible, it doesn’t seem as though he’ll miss much longer than that. The lefty told reporters that his latest elbow issue is nothing like the one he endured two years ago and he only expects to miss a start or two.
