LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Red Sox breathed a huge sigh of relief Friday, when they received news that David Price will not need surgery, manager John Farrell announced after Boston's 9-1 win over Atlanta.
The star left-hander will be shut down for the next seven to 10 days to recover from the forearm and elbow soreness he began experiencing roughly 24 hours after pitching a two-inning simulated game on Tuesday.
"He is on his way back," Farrell said of Price. "No surgery, no ... injection of any kind. The approach we're going to take with him is he'll receive medication and treatment in the next seven to 10 days.
