Price relieved to not need surgery on 'very unique' elbow

The injury to Price's left forearm, according to Dr. James Andrews and Dr. Neal ElAttrache, is muscular in nature and the MCL ligament is not damaged.

"[They told me] that I have a very unique elbow, and I've heard that before but not from guys that have done the surgeries they've done and looked at as many elbows as they've looked at. So just to hear it from those two guys, it felt good," said Price.
