Cora: Price has ‘mild case' of carpal tunnel syndrome

Share

The question everyone was asking last night -- what's wrong with David Price? -- was answered today.

Sox manager Alex Cora said on WEEI Radio's Dale & Keefe show that David Price has a "mild case" of carpal tunnel syndrome:

Price was scratched from tonight’s start against the Yankees due to a ‘recurrence of numbness’ in his pitching hand.

Price, who was plagued by an elbow injury last year, hasn't missed a start since the unknown ailment but has struggled with his control, posting a 5.11 ERA with 16 walks in his 2018 campaign.

He is scheduled for a bullpen session tomorrow. If all goes well, a trip to the disabled list could be avoided.
