David Price Set To Start Friday Vs. Yankees After Short Outing In Anaheim
David Price went just two innings Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels, but despite the short outing, the left-hander isn’t expected to miss a start.
Price’s velocity wasn’t there against L.A., but he did a nice job of painting the corners over his two scoreless innings of work, giving up just one hit. Manager Alex Cora said he made the decision to pull the former Cy Young award winner, so Price getting the start Friday isn’t terribly surprising.
Before Wednesday’s Game 2 against the Minnesota Twins, Cora confirmed that Price will take the hill for Boston’s series opener against the New York Yankees on Friday night, according to NESN’s Guerin Austin. New York has yet to announce its starter.
Cora-
– on call ups: they needed additional arms, starters aren’t going deep enough
– Porcello stays in the rotation for now
-Chavis is taking grounders, swinging the bat today
-Price will start Friday.— Guerin Austin (@guerinaustin) September 4, 2019
Price is 7-5 this season with a 4.28 ERA over 22 starts.
