One day after Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell indicated that David Price wasn’t ready to resume throwing, the veteran lefty defied expectations with a successful throwing session.
It wasn’t much, but Price managed to make 25 throws into a net in the batting cage. This marks the first time that he’s thrown a baseball since experiencing elbow discomfort on March 1, which prompted a visit to see Drs. James Andrews and Neal ElAttrachetwo days later.
The Red Sox dodged a bullet when both doctors agreed that surgery wouldn’t be necessary, but they weren’t out of the woods yet.
