Boston Red Sox News: No Surgery For David Price Elbow Injury, Lefty Ace To Rest
Boston Red Sox left-handed ace David Price, who traveled to Indianapolis Thursday to have his sore pitching elbow examined by top sports medicine specialist Dr. James Andrews — sparking fears that Price may require Tommy John surgery, which would cause him to miss the 2017 Major League Baseball season — received good news from Andrews on Friday, according to reports from MLB.com and Boston media.
The five-time All Star selection who previously pitched for the Tampa Bay Rays, Detroit Tigers and Toronto Blue Jays reported soreness in his pitching elbow during Wednesday’s workout at the Red Sox Spring Training facility in Fort Myers, Florida. After an MRI exam proved inconclusive, Price and the team decided that he should seek a second opinion from Andrews.
