FORT MYERS, Fla. — The Red Sox have some concern about David Price, who has been scratched from his first scheduled start of Spring Training on Sunday because of left forearm soreness.

Manager John Farrell provided the news on Thursday morning, a day after the club conducted an MRI.

Specific results of the tests are not yet available, though Farrell said Price is likely to get additional opinions from two renowned surgeons, Dr. James Andrews and Dr. Neil ElAttrache.

Both doctors are currently in Indianapolis at the NFL Combine, giving the Red Sox and Price some logistical issues to work through.

“He’s gone through some soreness in the forearm/elbow area in previous Spring Trainings, but this one has got a little bit more intensity to it,” Farrell said.
