It looks like David Price might be taking it easy on Battle Royales in the near future.
The Red Sox pitcher was diagnosed with an unusual injury — carpal tunnel syndrome — on Wednesday.
The injury is pretty uncommon for baseball players, and it’s caused by repeated motions, such as typing, and is more common among esports athletes. Price is a longtime video game enthusiast, and this season, Price and teammates have been logging long hours playing Fortnite — Price told The Associated Press last month the game has “kind of taken over.”
Manager Alex Cora confirmed the news before Price's supposed start against the Yankees and said he'll rejoin the team Thursday.
