Price's '17 debut part of busy MLB.TV slate

Lefty toes rubber for Boston vs. White Sox; First-place Astros, Twins square off

May 29th, 2017

Red Sox left-hander makes his much anticipated season debut in today's Memorial Day series opener against the White Sox in Chicago at 2:10 p.m. ET on MLB.TV, one of 10 day games on the jam-packed 15-game slate. Price had been on the disabled list the first two months of the season with a left elbow strain.
After going 17-9 with a 3.99 ERA and leading the Major Leagues with 230 innings pitched in 2016, Price is ready to get back on the mound.
"There's not a better feeling. You can't replicate it anywhere else," Price said. "To be back here with my teammates, that's a good feeling.
"It's always tough. Even if we're 40-0 right now, it's still tough to not be out there, and to be able to contribute. The DL is not something that anybody wants to be on. But it's over now, and I'm excited for it."
Left-hander makes his first start for the White Sox this season. He's been successful in eight relief appearances for the club, tallying a 0.87 ERA in 10 1/3 innings.
