David Price Doesn't Think Fortnite Led to Carpal Tunnel, Will Scale Back on Video Games if Needed

David Price doesn't believe playing video games, including the ultra popular Fortnite, is the cause of his recently diagnosed carpal tunnel syndrome, reports the Boston Herald's Michael Silverman.

According to Silverman, Price got his first Xbox when he was 12 years old.

If he has to quit to get better, he will, but for now the plan is treatment by the staff and no more Fortnite at the clubhouse.

The idea that video game led to his carpal tunnel began to gain speed after his diagnosis. The injury is uncommon for baseball players and more typical among esports athletes.
