MINNEAPOLIS
Boston Red Sox pitcher David Price could return to the rotation by the end of May, provided he continues to feel good in his recovery from a strained left elbow.
Sidelined since spring training, the 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner has been throwing well in simulated games. Red Sox manager John Farrell said Saturday that Price’s next simulated session, scheduled for Tuesday, would ideally be the left-hander’s last before beginning a minor league rehab assignment.
Price could make that first rehab appearance as early as next weekend, and Boston manager John Farrell said the pitcher would make “more than a couple of starts” before returning to the Red Sox. If all goes well, he could potentially rejoin the team for a series against the Chicago White Sox at the end of the month.
