David Price Injury: Here’s When Red Sox Pitcher Could Make Return Start

The Boston Red Sox are rolling, and an impending boost is in line to help continue these winning ways.

The Red Sox, who have won 11 of their last 13 games, soon are expecting the return of David Price. The veteran southpaw last Monday was placed on the 10-day injured list — retroactive to May 3 — due to elbow tendinitis. He didn’t seem overly concerned about the ailment at the time of his IL assignment, and manager Alex Cora said Sunday he expects Price back in the coming days, according to MassLive.com’s Christopher Smith.

Price appeared to be finding his form prior to the injury, as he had allowed just seven earned runs over the span of 24 combined innings in his last four starts. It was this time of year last year when Price started to get in a groove, as he posted a 2.90 ERA over five starts in June.

The Red Sox have made do with Price sidelined, but his return surely will aid Boston’s pitching staff as a whole.
