Rainy weather shifts Price to simulated game

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- David Price was supposed to make his Grapefruit League debut on Saturday against the Twins. Instead, he threw in a bullpen in the back of the Red Sox's Spring Training complex while left-hander Jalen Beeks got the start instead.

With rain in the forecast for the afternoon, manager Alex Cora decided that would be the best course of action.

"It is what it is," Cora said on Saturday morning. "[We've] got to keep [Price] healthy. We can't know what's going to happen [with the weather]. It's been switching the whole day.
