David Price (elbow) could return for Red Sox next weekend

Boston Red Sox pitcher David Price (elbow) might rejoin the rotation next weekend against the Houston Astros, manager Alex Cora indicated Sunday.

What It Means:

Price will likely throw a simulated session during the week. If all goes well, he should be cleared to return. The 33-year-old left-hander hasn't pitched since May 2 due to tendinitis in his left elbow.

Price owns a 3.75 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with 42 strikeouts and 10 walks across 36 innings. He has a 1-2 record in six starts.
