Share this: The Boston Red Sox are playing some of their best baseball of the year, and it has resulted in their longest winning streak of the season. The Sox have won five consecutive games thanks to a 3-0 win Friday night over the Seattle Mariners. Boston had lost three in a row to the Athletics before the recent successful stretch, but it left Oakland with a win in the series finale and has won four straight at Fenway Park.

David Price Plays Catch, Shows Signs Of Improvement Following Elbow Scare
Share this: 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.” Hear more from Farrell and Price about

David Price Takes Step Forward, Throws For First Time Since Elbow Injury

Price was given a prognosis of seven to 10 days of rest and medication instead of needing surgery, but the 31-year-old insisted he would take his time if he didn’t feel 100 percent. Red Sox manager John Farrell gave Price the all clear Wednesday to attempt to throw Friday or Saturday if he felt good enough, but the team still wasn’t sure that would happen.
