David Price to forego Fortnite habit if needed, pitches Saturday vs. Blue Jays

Red Sox pitcher David Price said Thursday that video games are not the cause of his carpal tunnel syndrome, but stressed that he won't play the popular Fortnite in the team clubhouse again "to avoid the distraction it has caused."

"I've always played it with my teammate, during the offseason, at the field, at the hotel," he said. "That's kind of my generation. That's what we do. If I need to shut down video games and pick up a new hobby, then so be it. But I do not think that's the cause.''

Price is set to start Saturday at Toronto.
