David Price’s recovery process took a small, but important, step forward Saturday.
The Boston Red Sox left-handed starter’s left elbow showed signs improvement, which allowed him to play catch for a bit.
“(There were) strength improvements to the point of putting the ball back in his hand a little more consistently,” manager John Farrell told reporters in Fort Myers, Fla., via MLB.com. “Today’s the first step for that. A short game of catch. That’s what he’s going through. Not off a mound but just to get the arm moving with a ball in flight, and he will continue in this phase for a period of time. There’s no set distance and volume yet to the throws.”
