David Price and the Red Sox remain thankful they dodged the worst-case scenario when it comes to his elbow injury, but the Cy Young Award winner is still without a timetable for a return to the mound and it could be longer than expected because of a recent Jayson Werth Jersey setback in his rehab.Manager John Farrell acknowledged to reporters Thursday (via the Boston Globe) that Price's rehab has been slowedby sorene saround his elbow as herecovers from an elbow strain that has sidelined him since spring training.Price has been cleared to ramp up to Max Scherzer Navy Cool Base Jersey full speed in recent bullpen se sions,and he's scheduled Bryce Harper Cool Base Navy Jersey to get back on a mound Friday. At this rate, it could be closer to the end of May before Price makes his 2017 regular-season debut.Price obviously hit some bump on the rehab road, which happens.

Otherwise he's been dependable, one of the many reasons Boston gave him a seven-year,$217 million contract.The 31-year-old shouldered the load for an injury-riddled Red Sox rotation last season, leading the majors with 35 starts and 230 innings.
