NEW YORK (AP) — David Price considers himself a gamer — both on and off the field. Now he has to cut down on screen time.
A longtime video game enthusiast, the Boston Red Sox ace was diagnosed this week with carpal tunnel syndrome. He has not pitched since May 3 but is scheduled to return Saturday at Toronto.
He insists that while video games may have contributed to the condition, they’re not the origin of the swelling in his left thumb, index finger and middle finger.
“This is just something that happened over time. This didn’t stem from any one thing,” the 32-year-old left-hander said Thursday.
