Price, 31, signed a seven-year, $217 million deal as a free agent before the 2016 season. And his first season is Boston wasn’t a huge success, at least based on his eight previous major-league seasons. In 35 starts, Price was 17-9 with a 3.99 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 228 strikeouts in 230 innings. His postseason struggles continued against the Indians in the ALDS when he allowed five earned runs in 3/1 innings in a Game 2 loss.
But the concern now runs much deeper than last October.
"We're taking every precaution," manager John Farrell told reporters, via MLB.com. "Yes, we are concerned, as we would be with any player. That's why we're taking every step and scratching him for Sunday."
