Detroit — Tigers radio analyst Jim Price will miss the team's nine-game, 10-day road trip, as he recovers from a virus which has slowed him much of the month.
Dan Dickerson, Price's long-time partner, wrote on Twitter this week that Price "wants everyone to know he appreciates their good wishes, and expects to be back to full strength very soon."
Price already has been sidelined for a week, missing the entire six-game home stand. His first game off was last Tuesday. He was expected to return Friday, but didn't.
Dan Petry, in his first year as an analyst on Fox Sports Detroit, has filled in for most of the games, and will do the Tigers' entire road trip.
