What It Means:

He was only expected to go through exercises on Saturday and not actually throw, so this puts him ahead of schedule in his recovery. While there were reports of doom and gloom when his injury was first announced, Price seems to be making positive strides and could be looking at only a short stint on the disabled list to begin the season.

Assuming he plays a full season, our models project Price for a 14-10 record with 214 innings pitched, 214 strikeouts, a 3.41 ERA and 1.16 WHIP.
