Boston Red Sox veteran left-hander David Price underwent an MRI on his pitching elbow, manager John Farrell told reporters on Thursday morning.
Price, who is entering the second season of a seven-year, $217 million contract, experienced pain in his forearm on Tuesday, two days removed from pitching in a two-inning simulated game.
Farrell said that the 31-year-old Price will visit noted orthopedists Dr. James Andrews or Neal ElAttrache to review the results.
Price posted a 17-9 mark with a 3.99 ERA last season and finished fourth in the American League with 228 strikeouts. He also allowed a career-high 30 homers and led the AL in innings pitched (230) in his first season with Boston.
