Boston’s Price won’t need surgery

After David Price consulted two renowned orthopedic doctors, the Boston Red Sox said Friday that the left-hander will not need surgery or an injection in his ailing left arm.

Price traveled to Indianapolis on Thursday for consultation with Dr. James Andrews and Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who were at the NFL combine. Price is expected to return Saturday to Boston’s spring training complex in Fort Myers, Fla.

“Indy is a little chilly right now so I’m gonna head back to fort myers! My 40 time was 4.11...ill let one of you name my island,” Price tweeted Friday.

Manager John Farrell said the findings represented a best-case scenario for Price, who will rest and receive treatment for the next seven to 10 days. It is uncertain when Price will resume throwing.
